took my car in for warranty issues

If the place they were talking it to was 10 - 15 ks away ... and in heavy traffic, there's every chance you average would have gone up to 10. On the other hand ... they may have flogged it ... but nothing you can do will prove that. Move on.

I wouldnt let my car get down to 50kms to empty.
If customers drop there cars in here for rattles ect with very low fuel then I usually dont roadtest for noises as it can take a fair few drives to find them sometimes.
I have had a few that have run out of fuel on road tests over the years. I lock them up and either walk or taxi back to work. Write up the bill, ring them and give them the option of paying $50 for me to go and get $10 worth of fuel to retrieve the car or allow them the honour of getting fuel themselves!
We in the trade seem to get a lot of flack but there is always 2 sides to the story.

Mate, to be honest, ignore the noise and drive it as it is...

Therefore, they cant flog ur car...

Thats what i do....

i have rattle noise + door hinge problem + window problem, and my car is 5 months old soon!

Before my Gti I signed up for a second-hand '05 Accord for the missus from the car dealer on the Friday. Went to pick it up on the Monday...between Friday and Monday it had done 1200km. Sales guy said one of the other sales guy took it over the weekend down south (Espreance). I said this aint now the car I signed up for and tore up the contract..the refused to accept and insisted they'd take me to court if I didn't buy the car as per the contract...."See you there" I said......nothing happened.

They don't truck/tow some exotics around so why would they truck a Polo?

when we bought our polo they trucked it out to get the window tint done...
was very surprised.
