A Paisley grandfather is breathing a sigh of relief after saving thousands of pounds following an ordeal with a car dealership that tried to charge him for problems with a brand new car that was practically fresh off the forecourt.
Alan McNaughton, 71, was told by Arnold Clark in Linwood that the broken clutch, which occurred to the Ford Puma after fewer than 3,000 miles, was not covered under warranty and that he’d have to part with more than £2,000 to fix the problem himself.
That’s on top of the £278 a month for the next three years that he’s currently paying for the car after having bought it on a Hire Purchase finance plan.
