Hi All,
Just bought a car from a local dealership. Paid just under £1,300 for a 2001 car so not like a got something on the cheap or cut any corners considering the age etc.
Had it a week and already I've had to take it back to have a heat shield re-bolted (not too much of a problem) but now I have had passengers complaining of wet bums when travelling it in. Got to looking at it today and passenger floor is soaking wet (we are talking puddles) and seats wet when you apply pressure.
Do I have any rights? I have no reason to believe this isn't a trustworthy dealer but I didn't have any kind of warranty on the car. Is there any 'unspoken' rule where I am covered to return this or have it sorted as I was not made aware of any problems and clearly there is something very wrong.
I'm not too hot on consumer rights and wanted to be prepared when I talk to them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, you do have rights! Cars don't just leak like that, so clearly something is amiss! Take it back and tell them to fix it!Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0
