  • Rejecting used car

    Please can you give advice re the possibility of claiming money back for used car.
    Purchased Car. On 13.8.17
    collected car on 25.8.17
    30.8.17 the alternator lights came on and after looking under the bonnet noticed that the washer pipes were broken too
    2.9.17 had to charge the battery due to it being flat
    5.9.17 noticed dashboard lights and headlights kept going out
    6.9.17 lights went out 7 times whilst driving in the dark for approx 20 miles...after moving the switch around they came back on each time
    15.9.17 car was taken back to the garage
    the garage had the car for a total of six and a half weeks in which time they mended the washers, fixed two broken wires and put an new alternator on and was told that the replacing of the wires would rectify the lights problem
    26.10.17 received car back from garage
    28.10.17 lights on the dashboard and headlights went out again whilst driving in the dark it was also found to have an oil leak from the dipstick pipe and the starter motor kept sticking
    5.11.17 car was taken back to the garage where it was purchased
    6.11.17 sent the garage an email requesting my money back as had no confidence in the car and that had only actually had the car on my premises for 4 weeks out of the 11 that had passed since the date of purchase.
    11.11.17 the garage emailed me stating that I did not have sufficient grounds to request my money back
    the garage have said that it is now in a local garage who are trying to find the faults
    As you can imagine the list of problems with the car keep getting longer and feel that this issue needs to be brought to a close...

    Not fit for purpose, simple really. Handed our car back to Welcome car finance (DO NOT EVER USE THESE EVER!) gone out of business though I think..(ex REME so they had no argument on the electrical/mechanical side of things )

      Hi there,
      Have a read of Consumer Rights Act 2015 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/...ntents/enacted)
      and WRITE to garage telling them you are rejecting the vehicle as not satisfactory.
      This is under your SHORT TERM RIGHT TO REJECT within 30 days of purchase (the time spent with the garage is disregarded)
      You require a full return of the price paid.

      How did you pay for the vehicle: Cash/credit card/finance/other?

                So you get back what you paid plus the allowance given for your part-exchange on the invoice, paid via your debit card
                If the dealer still has your part-exchange then you can, if you wish, have your old car back, but it will then be up to you to tax it."
