Executive class cars are often an opportunity to purchase an almost new model at favorable price conditions. This is what Alban K., a reader, thinksAuto Morewhen it acquired at the end of 2017 a Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0 TD4 150, put into circulation in June of the same year. Then this SUV drove 3000 km. For more than three and a half years, our reader has been taking great care of his car. Thus, it ensures that every maintenance is done on time. Better yet, at the beginning of the summer and when he’s getting ready to go on vacation, he carefully checks all levels and replaces the front tires.
A stingy offer
Despite these precautions, Discovery Sportswhich is then displayed 93,100 km, will never arrive at its destination. There is a significant loss of power on the track. This sudden loss even forces Alban to somehow end up in the emergency lane. The nearest dealer, where the car is handed over, quickly concludes that there is a break in the distribution chain. This necessarily involves replacing the motor! An operation that is surprisingly overpriced: 12,244 euros. Fortunately, Alban can count on the support of its dealer, who negotiates directly with the brand for support. But Land Rover is only giving our reader 30% off, keeping it 8616 euros at one’s own expense!
Our defense strategy
Land Rover believed that Alban would be satisfied with his offer of a pickup truck.
But this devoted reader knows very well that his age and mileage DiscoverySport, as well as its crystal-clear maintenance history, warrant a much larger gesture. Indeed, the scale of our experts is very clear: up to 5 years/100,000 km engine failure should be fully covered.
Therefore, Land Rover must refund their customer the full amount paid!
