  • Sold a faulty car

    Hi, I would be grateful for any advice. I brought a car from a garage 2 weeks ago for £4000. car was smoking badly and therefore I got it serviced by kwik fit and got an independant report done. findings were injector issue, turbo pipe leak, brake discs under limit, tyres under limit and clutch slipping. Ive contacted the dealer to reject but he's being funny and not assisting. after many letters I've now filed for small claims court. do I have any chance? any assistance much appreciated

    What did you tell the dealer? What was his response? You would probably have a claim under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Did you state that in your claim and conversations?

                      So you sent two copies to the court plus fee.
                      The court will serve the claim on the defendant by first class post.
                      The defendant then has a fortnight to respond if he disputes the claim.
                      If he disputes the claim will be allocated to the small claims track, and notice sent to both parties giving instructions on what to do.

                      If there is no response you can request a judgement.

                            But the car is stored away as I stopped using it. Doesn't have tax or insurance

                              Doesn't have to road test it, although if he has trade plates that is no problem/
