Had I just bought my car privately I’d be very very very unhappy. 18 days into ownership - I’ve been without it for 2 weeks, with another week predicted.
Interesting data point. Were these repairs under the "90 day warranty" or similar and did the problem appear immediately or did you take it in for your own check up where they were uncovered?
Only one damper? Dampers are supposed to be changed in pairs. I'd also make sure that they didn't go for the cheapest repair then say it is something you did
Private terrifies me.
