New car repairs and 6 month cut-off?

Why? This is to protect you against buying faulty goods.

If you genuinely bought a Bentley and it something went wrong with it within 6 months, would you be happy for them to knock depreciation off the amount of your refund? Or would you expect them to refund the entire amount? Given that you lose so much as soon as you drive the car off the forecourt, I think it is entirely fair.

But on the other hand you can't expect to use a car for 6 months FOC.

You can't and he's wrong as the Consumer Rigjts Acr states.

If the consumer rejects the goods, then he is entitled to a refund. This refund may be reduced to take account of any use the consumer has had from the goods. However, no deduction can be made for the consumer having the goods simply because the trader has delayed in collecting them. Nor can a deduction be made where goods are rejected within six months of supply, except where the goods are a motor vehicle.

The Sale of Goods Act states a retailer can deduct from the refund for usage you've had. Is the new legislation different?

It would appear so.

So you'll know it states

And your arguement is therefore wrong.

Why so gleeful?

I was wrong, that exception wasn't noted on the site I looked at.

Do you want a pat on the head or something? Well done. You did really good. Congratulations. Be sure to tell your mum when she shouts you down for your tea. :T

I'll be telling everyone if she does since she's been dead for 8 years.
