[mikeyh]

i thought u said the docs were in re-worxs name??

[Mobilemick]

They just did a compression test and told me the results.

Wouldnt this of found the faulty tips.

Get in touch with the owner, you are still covered , he cant sell faulty products.  take him to small claims court

The comp test was was done by reworx... reworx are not accepting liability because they say they were sellin it on behalf of someone else.

If reworx did a compression test before you took the car they would have known it to be sub-standard and should have warned you about it.

Small claims court is the route if all else fails, dont except their £250 as otherwise you have accepted their offer and thats that !!

Sounds dodgy though you probably should not have bought it in the first place to be honest mate, i know that dont help you right now but ReWorx sold you the car - they are responsible !! :Nono!

[Mobilemick]

Re-worx sold you the car,  and they trying to get out of it, by saying they are selling it for someone else,   Oldest car dealer trick in the book,  

p.s Just my opinion,

doesnt matter what the compression test said,  if it detonates cos the boost is wound up too high its gonna pop.

a comp test can show 5\'s but it may still last for ages, just cos its shows 8s, doesnt mean it wont pop.

The guy who bought a car from a guy in scotland who was on here picked it up from pips where it was comp tested and it blew on the way home, that wasnt down to pip.

Sorry your RX7 has turned out to be such a nightmare Hairy, especially after purchasing it from a reputable specialist like RE WORX, i am very dissapointed to read of their responce to the situation you have found yourself in! after all they have a reputation to think of, they sold you the car! as said above do not accept 250, that would not even cover the hassle you have had as a result of the car not being \'fit for purpose\' do keep us all posted as to what\'s happening, this could be an illuminating thread for all us rotary owners. and helps enormously for anyone needing work done,as to who to trust with thier pride and joy, Small Claims Court would seem the only way mate, hope you stick with a RX They are worth it when they are 100%
Good luck.

Very True mate,

But even so ReWorx\'s assistance is not very good ?? Why would they even offer £250 if theres nothing they can do ??

Just a shame a new owner is facing these issues already esp after buying from a "decent" tuner ??

[johnf]

It all seems to beg the question

WHY?

Why were Reworx involved at all?
Why Didn\'t the guy sell the car himself, mmm did he know something?
Why would Reworx risk their reputation if, as turns out, there are problems?

Did Reworx sell it as a favour, or did they take commission, that could make them more involved than they seem to want to be.

All seems to stink to me, [my opinion on the details given]

[mullins]

this could be an illuminating thread for all us rotary owners. and helps enormously for anyone needing work done,as to who to trust with thier pride and joy

you weren\'t this open minded when i warned members about that tuner down your way.....:rolleyes:

[iaint]

nope... there wasnt any warrenty. They said the car was being sold on behalf of a customer. They couldnt give me a reason for it it blowing. They just did a compression test and told me the results.

I suspect that, having failed so soon after you drove it away that you have come back on the original seller.  Citizens advise shoudl be able to let you know.

[John Yorke]

Sounds like there is more to this than being said, cant believe ANY builder / dealer would act this way?? same old same old - one side of the story being told, my opinion fwiw always best to try and resolve before going public seems there is quite a bit that could be done before getting to this point.

[oldone]

Kind sirs,you are all a bit hasty with the sharp knifes I think :rolleyes: ...Scenario: Person asks REWORX to sell car as they come into contact with a lot of prospective buyers.REWORX says.....no problem,we will do you the favour........A.N.Other comes along and buys the car \'as is\',drives away and car breaks down.A.N.Other phones REWORX and asks for help.....REWORX think "what the hell have we got ourselves into now"?,they feel sorry for A.N.Other (as he has pleaded poverty)  and offer to help by discounting labour to get the bussiness as any other vendor would.
A lapse of time has occurred (2 months) and many others have given advice and dabbled with said car.......no joy,...so hence,lets get the big whipping stick out and go after the vendor WHO SOLD THE CAR ON BEHALF OF SOMEBODY...................it should read LETS GET THE BIG STICK OUT AND GO AFTER THE PRIVATE PERSON WHO SOLD ME THE CAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read the facts differrant to you all sirs,as I am totally unbiased and dislike to see this \'witch hunt\' attitude of some on this forum.If I buy an FD,drive it home and it breaks,I will park it,shrug my shoulders and say " it has been thrashed all its life as it is a sport car,so let me get on with fixing it"........:cheers :guinness  .....BUT hey,that\'s me !!!!!!

When you bought the car did you give the money directly to ReWorx or the owner in the log book?
