I wonder what’s in it for a Saab dealer (or any other marque) to find faults in Approved Used cars prior to sale to a customer?
The reason I ask this is that someone will be paying to fix those faults. It isn’t in the dealers’ interest to do this surely; they either pay for their staff’s time out of their own pocket, or they claim it back from the manufacturer. I’d be fairly confident that the manufacturer would give each dealer a specific target each year (and perhaps a bonus) if they claim less than, say £100, on fixes per vehicle prior to sale. A dealer is not going to thank a member of its staff for finding faults wither – it’s just eating into profits.
What interest is there for a dealer to rectify faults I wonder? I’m no mechanic, but I’ve found so many blindingly obvious faults that I can’t help but think that no check was made to my vehicle.
I’m pretty sure that dealers wait for customers to identify faults themselves. It’d be very interesting to hear what other people think about this!
