As for the post below which says i dont have any "comeback" as they put it well it seems i do , after trawling the net it seems i am covered by a law which came in 2015 that protects buyers for problems that shouldnt be on a car on delivery.

Try quoting me correctly. I was very careful in my post to state

you don't have a lot of comeback if you don't test drive the car and it has things that are commensurate with it's age/condition that you don't like.

I'm well versed in the Consumer Rights Act thank you very much having helped many a poster in my time on these forums. You don't seem to be one that requires such help/advice however as you seem to know all the answers already. Glad you got it sorted nonetheless.

:rotfl: Well it looks like one Sad Fart has found out about:

SAD FART!

and is no longer sad! :rotfl:

Perhaps next time you might do some research before looking for a quick answer without giving all the facts.

The simple fact is when you buy a car from a dealer you expect it to be safe and to be fit for purpose.

So yes op does have rights to reject it.

So why some of you posters are being complete !!!!!! to op is beyond me.

Thanks arcon5 , although i admit my mistake to not test drive the car some on here just wanted to play headmaster :cool:

Anyway like i say thanks, i realise now like you say i was well in my rights to reject it.

Regarding your other point the dealer has agreed to swap it for another car so happy days

Great. Then you don't need to resort to consumer legislation, as the supplier has agreed to do that through goodwill.

also its not just a case of wanting the dealer to roll over as you put it its simply being protected by the law that a car is sold right not wrong.

The legislation has various caveats around used goods (it applies to all consumer transactions, not just cars), including around age, price and apparent condition.

Aye but that doesn't change the fundamentals. Being if you buy a car it should do what it's intended to do and safely. Unless a different purpose is specified

No one ever said that he didn't.

Have you actually read the thread?

OP get's lot's of good advice, (regarding a test drive, amongst other things), then gets shirty and and sarcastic with the people that have tried to help him.


Asking for help then either rejecting it, or being unable to comprehend it isn't the fault of those who contributed.

Anyway, OP has said he will test drive the replacement car; so despite not being gracious enough to appreciate advice given, does look like he has taken it on board.

Less helpful more judgemental. After all the responses you seriously wonder why op got defensive?

However you can't expect a 10 year old car to be without faults commensurate to it's age/condition and the legislation allows for this.

So you're going to follow the OP and take that quote totally out of context. I thought you were better than that.
