I was interested in a car dealer car on internet when I visited the car the way the dealer describe the car with one year dealer warranty I was really interested to buy the car for £6000 asking price. Because, I don’t know much about the cars. I took the next day the car to my garage after inspecting the car loads of things was damage and faulty and the garage declared the car un road worthy and not save to drive because of money faults the car had. such as :
Gearbox & Clutch, one side shock with shock absorber, inner driver getter, few seatbelt was not working, loads of interior was missing, the car needs new radio unit and many more things that the dealer did not mentioned them.
I took the car back the next day to the dealer to have my money back, but the dealer denied to pay my money, instead he promised me to fix the car. He kept the car for 14 days without doing anything to the car. Finally, I had to collect the car back and spend my own money to get the car back on the road the car repairs cost me more than £ 3500. The car dealer also has written in his receipt that the car needs some mechanical attention, but he did not specified where and which part of the car.

I need pple advice and opinion who had similar kind of experience or knowledge of such a circumstances . Before I take the dealer to the court I want to be sure that I have more chance to get my repair cost from the dealer instead of losing more money to the court procedure. Thanx

The laws vary so much, from US to UK, that it's impossible for me to give you an answer. We have, here in the US, a law that must state whether or not the used auto comes with or without a warranty. If one, here, buys a car without a warranty, well, you're pretty much, screwed. Hindsight is always 20/20, but you should always have a used car checked BEFORE you buy it. Sorry.Unsure
