Bought used car,rubbish in boot

Sunflower49 · 28-01-2014, 23:29

What would you do if you had bought a car from a used car retailer, and when you got it home there were two bags of rubbish in the boot?

Everything else with the car's fine, and It's obviously been cleaned.

I think, that this is actually the retailer's rubbish, because the car's going to have been inspected, and in between my viewing it and buying it, has had its MOT. They must have checked the boot when they purchased it, to make sure it opened correctly etc, I can't see it being the previous owner's rubbish?

I also asked that they tax it for me, and they hadn't yet done this when I arrived to collect the car so I had to wait-perhaps they'd decided to take their rubbish somewhere in the car en route-and forgot?

But never know I guess.

I'm not annoyed about it really, rather amused if anything but still, not quite right is it!?

I would take the rubbish back to them

What exactly would you say when you did it Neil? A couple of my friends I have told have said the same!
I have to go back to the place actually as I had forgotten to take them the spare key for the car I part exchanged it for.

A friend actually said I should put the spare key in one of the bags of rubbish and hand them over telling them as much!

I would just say you left these bags in the boot

Take it back to them.Dump the rubbish in their showroom asking if it was a free accessory.

Maybe they put a couple of bags in every car they sell to save on having it removed, the cheeky gits!!

Maybe when the car was cleaned all the stuff (rubbish) that was in it was put into bags an put in the boot.
I use to valet cars a few years back an that's what we was told to do.
If it is their rubbish from the retailer,it's only right you drop it back off for them

...Because this is what I suspect! Lancs businesses (or most businesses) have to pay for their rubbish removal services do they not?

Maybe, but surely the retailers should have checked if this is a standard procedure!

Not really!I saw two black bags in the boot, pulled one apart a little at the top and saw an empty coke can!It 'felt' like rubbish when I picked it up.
From what I saw/felt it seems like 'Office' rubbish to me... Pop cans etc!
