Rejecting a used car <30days

delmare

Hi guys,
I bought a 2012 Honda insight 50000 miles on clock, from a dealer on 13th of December, i paid £6770, after a week i got sound from engine and then low oil light, went to local garage and there was very little oil left on the engine, they top it up and after 6 days engine knocking start again and low oil light on again, so car clearly burning oil, i went to main Honda dealer and they said. car needs an engine rebuilt which will cost £4000! i called the dealer and they said i have to go one of their garage, i went there and their garage heard the knocking, but they said its a piping, nothing from engine, i went straight back to the Honda again and they said the knocking is coming straight from the top of the engine! engine definitely needs to removed and rebuilt! i went to dealer where i get the car, explained them what Honda said, the accused that Honda is lying and they tried to send me to another garage for another check! i refused that because i lost faith on them and send them a rejection letter on 27th day, its clear that engine problem was there before i bought the car, i already use nearly 14 liters of oil in 2.5 weeks, so whats my chance to get my money back? thank you

That sounds very straightforward. You need to get the car back to them asap, then if they won't return the money, you need to issue a court claim.

14 litres in 2.5 weeks? You wouldn't see the car for the smoke screen at that rate.
