If Inwas the dealer I would not want the car back, Inwould buy it back at trade price.

Luckily for us then that you are not a car dealer as you obviously have no idea about consumer rights.

Friend asked me to get some second opinion on this.

She's just bought a car online from a dealer (paid via bank transfer £5000) unfortunately her land lord has just evicted her now has no where to keep the said car.

She's penned an extremely sorry letter - what are her rights? She's signed nothing by the way and hasn't even been to the dealership yet.

It's an extremely embarrassing situation.

Thanks

There is a couple hundreds thousand miles of road in the UK and your friend can't find anywhere to park a car? :rotfl:

What consumer rights does the OP's friend have in these circumstances then? She's paid for a car she no longer wants. There is nothing wrong with the car so what consumer rights law does she rely on to get the refund then?

The landlord has either just served her notice, or... she already had notice which has just now matured.
Is there no way she can come and live with you?

Please keep up. As already mentioned that would be the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (CCRs), specifically with regards to the right to cancel a distance contract.

Haha...Well, this is awkward...Not really. More chance she'd be able to live with you or maybe Martin?! :rotfl:
