How hard is it to fit ?

<< < (2/2)

muddymart:
If the car is on finance/hp try this it helped me a lot, and i got rid of the car and my deposit back, after i had it a month

it was a sierra 4x4 2.9i, the dealer wouldnt repair the car as it was smoking really bad, i rang the finance company direct and told them he'd sold me a pig in a poke and told him id gone to two other garages which i did and they confirmed the the situation,and i was refusing to pay the hp and it would be my pleasure to bring it up in court,

two days later the finance company told me to return the car, and the dealer would refund my deposit,

im talking 12 years ago, sure you have rights somewhere along the line

No sorry paid cash. I have checked my rights and basically I am entitled to repairs for any faults that occur within the first 6 months as having paid for a road worth vehvile which is fit for use, I can expect to have at least that long before having to pay for repairs. I found that on the CAB web site under consumer law, second hand car sales. It also says if proven that a fault existed at the time of sale you can claim for repairs up to 6 years after purchase. That seems a little extreme to me. But basically I can request a repair and compensation for phone calls, fuel to the garage etc.. Not really bothered about the other bits just want a proper repair, but I can't get the chap I need to speak to about it to talk to me.

I am going to try asking to speak to the boss tomorrow and If he is unavailable the get his name and address for a letter. Might even see how much a solicitors letter will cost.

lee celtic:
Get an AA report on the problem and a one line letter stating fix it or else this will be handed over to trading standards and your solicitor .And if they don't sort it, then follow through with the threat you are the customer and you have rights . :wink:
