I am still having trouble with recently purchased car. Am not happy with handbrake, gears, and battery

 

Last week battery whinneyed about 6 times before turning  it has whinneyed about 3 times before, however last Tuesday it whinneyed and didn't turn over so had to call recovery and they got it started forgot to say on the previous day I got battery checked by Halfords who said battery was perfect so am just in from a reputable garage and I deciding to get another used 2019 car, I asked him how many owners and he said his latest 20 i10s were leased. Now should I worry about that cos I'm thinking does that mean loads of drivers.  Thanks for any answers. He is giving me 12 month warranty.

Zacs - I thought the mileage was high too.
For comparison, I have the i10, bought in 2015 and I have only just gone over 53,000 miles. I use it almost every day, probably similae trips to JJ's, mostly local.

Corby, you have to be crafty about it :)  

Many people lease cars now, regular families as well as business people. However the mileage is high for the age of this car so it's been well ised in it's time whoever had it and I would move on. 
My car is 6 years old and has 45k on the clock.

Am reading all your posts and thanks for that. The current car April 2015 had 75000 miles that's high for that time , just looked at log book.  This "new.used" one is nice red colour. He showed me a dark silver am not fussed on colour 2019 had over 60,000 miles.  He has allowed £3,500 for my car again another risk I'll be taking but he is very reputable and big concern/garage.  He is the owner.  Now very pleasant and I just know he will sell all his i10s so he wouldn't be fussed if I buy or not. But I do want to change

And what's your budget for the new car, JJ (including the £3500 for yours)?

sounds like he might have a deal with a lease company to take their 4 year old cars off them. I really wouldn't buy a 4 year old i10 with nearly 60k mileage. 

Agree with Zacs- be careful- buying a car isn't something to consider lightly.

I recommend an AA inspection, well worth it for complete peace of mind, & savings in the long run
