Recovering small costs after rejection.
Hi to all, I have just today agreed with a main dealer to cancel a finance agreement on a car I purchased 12 days ago so within my 14 day cool off period and they are planning collection of the car. The reasoning for rejection is that they are unwilling to carry out paintwork repairs that we agreed to have rectified in…

car wrongly listed on comparison sites
I recently bought an early Smart car . It's a Passion model with the glass fixed panorama sunroof. When I insured it on the phone they repeated the details and said it was a cabriolet. I said no it's a fixed roof and it's on the v5 as a Coupe. I have tried the comparison sites and when you enter the reg number it indeed…

Not at fault claim
Hello, My car was hit by a neighbour whilst it was parked up outside my house. The neighbour has admitted fault and I am claiming through their insurance. Question is do I have to let my insurers know of the not at fault incident? Even if I say it is for 'information only' will they increase my monthly payments? Thankyou

Should I sell my diesel car to avoid any potential fall in value?
My dad generously bought me a Volkswagen Golf TDI (2014), but I am considering selling it and buying a petrol car of around the same age. It's a fantastic car, but I don't regularly drive long distances (ruling out that advantage of a diesel car), and I'm concerned that, if I don't sell it soonish, the value will plummet…

QQ about backdated car tax.
Firstly, I don't drive so I apologise if any of these questions seem a bit stupid or obvious. You don't do it at the Post Office anymore, I assume, so If you don't have a logbook (lost) can you call the DVLA and tax a car immediately with a debit card and ask for a new logbook at the same time (with a different address)?…

Mazda 6 – Overruning – Turbo damage?
I don’t post on here too often, but I posted back in June about looking to buy a few years old Mazda 6 2.2 diesel, and people were cautioning about oil dilution and ‘dieseling’ which had been known to happen with these cars. Knowing this and being slightly paranoid, when I did buy one, I kept my eye on the oil level like a…

PCP excess Mileage Charge
Hoping I can get some advice on behalf of my daughter. She leased an Audi Q5 on a VW Finance PCP 36months/36000 miles. Due to changes in circumstances, her mileage increased and she looked to change the car from 24 months onwards but the resale value was always lower than the settlement figure. She looked at returning the…

Had car for less than 4 months and the tracking is out
I bought a 10 month old car from a dealership and had to call out breakdown cover today as I had a flat. That’s not an issue but the AA guy said the wheel tracking is seriously out and my tyres are needing replaced as there’s uneven wear and I’ll plough through tyres if I don’t get it fixed.
