Buying a car (from a main dealer) that has a red 'finance warning'......a question.

[Brandane]

Exactly - which is why I want to know which it is

but I can see why someone might not want to be specific on a publically visible forum!

The OP is only willing to go as far as stating it's "a 6 month old Toyota at the main dealer". So we can only guess that it is the TOYOTA main dealer (but did he mean another main dealer, which just happened to have a 6 month old Toyota for sale?), and it's in Warrington. A quick google says Group 1 Toyota, 425 Manchester Road, Warrington. It might, or might not, be them.
I would be surprised if a Toyota franchised dealer would get up to such shenanigans. And if they have done, maybe such practice is legal as long as they make the buyer aware of the outstanding finance? Again, I doubt that very much. But then I don't work in the seedy world of car sales!

Sounds like they were right to walk away on multiple grounds; and have potentially dodged a bullet.

I'd also be submitting a complaint to Toyota..

In the past I have bought from main dealers and I have noticed from some of them that they guarantee that all used cars they sell are free from finance problems

I am rather alarmed that this is not normal from a proper main dealer
