Would you buy this car?

[dafad_dew]

Recently committed to buy a 2.0 TDI 140PS estate, under a year old, with about 8000 miles on the clock.
Went to pick it up, and was told that during final checks, they found the dashboard had failed, reason unknown.
Anyway, dealers were great about it, deposit returned etc, and have now said fault was down to just a fuse.
They've offered a good deal for either the same car (fixed), or a similar one, but with almost 15000 on the clock.

So, I'm torn what to do. Either:
- don't buy from them at all!
- buy the fixed one
- buy the one with more miles, same price

The failure just worries me a bit, but it may well be "one of those things...."... Maybe?

Opinions welcome! :-)
Thanks,
dafad.

welcome to the forum. fuse blow, end of. maybe its got an underlying fault , maybe it was a duff fuse. who knows. it will be their problem for 2 years though so if it happens again they will sort it.

Get them to provide a written statement that they will repair this item should it fail again.

My dashboard failed last month too - under warranty thank goodness.

They claim they fitted a new one, as it was total failure -now you make me think....

Is the fuse internal, or accessible to owners ?

Looks like this could be a problem if the whole thing failed ?
