Hi everyone.
I deposited for a MK7.5 2019 Golf GTI Performance last week but I'm worried I might've made a big mistake.
The car only has 15k miles and no previous owners. Condition looked great, very clean and looks barely used. It's being sold by a Volvo dealer. Was priced at around £25k.
When I went to test drive the car, they said the vehicle doesn't have a full service history but was serviced before. Their reasoning for this was because of the service reminder that's shown in the infotainment display.
They said they tried to get in touch with the person who sold them the car but was apparently hard to get a hold of. They also said they called Volkswagen but was told that there's no official service history on there. I also called them to see if they have anything but they don't.
I was told they'd do a service on the car before I pick it up, so I went ahead and deposited for the car (£1k).
Now that the excitement has faded a bit, I have a feeling that I've made a big (and stupid) mistake.
Is there anything I could do now to help the situation? The deposit is also non-refundable. Maybe I should try and ask them to get information on where it was last serviced?
Thanks in advance and any help would be greatly appreciated.
