Be very careful when purchasing "Engine Start" & "Asset starts" vehicles.

Bought a 2007 Peugeot 107 on timed auction that was detailed as "Start" & "Asset starts" for top end money. When arriving to pickup the car. Someone at branch had made a mistake when loading vehicle details on system. ENGINE NEVER STARTED and therefore was labeled on the floor as "NO START". Branch refused to take responsibility for THEIR mistake, with dishonest staff even going as far as to claim that they just started the car when I wasn't around. After hours of complaining to branch and head-office they just said. You have 2 options: Take it as is "No Start" or "Let us auction is for you", But as "No Start". Just to clarify - "No Start" vehicles has absolutely no value because condition of engine then is unknown, so letting them auction it for me would have been even a bigger LOSS. After further investigation we discovered that car didn't even have a fuel pump and that various engine sensors was disconnected and main fuses was missing. (NO Possible way this car could have ever "Started" as the dishonest staff member claimed)

Do NOT trust the staff's claims, If really interested in a vehicle, take the time and rather go and inspect & "Start" yourself, otherwise you might just buy a "Start" vehicle without a engine...
