Bought faulty car on finance - Advice please

medion

hi,

I have bought a car via finance company c6weeks ago and it has been in their garage twice now and the fault remains. I contacted the garage again to take the car back in and they confirmed that would not be financially viable for them - the job is too expensive. They have said that they will contact the finance company and pay off the finance. Is there anything i should do? Can the finance company say no? We also part ex our car as a deposit and they have said that they will give this back to us. This all sounds quite straight forward and i do hope they stick to this agreement - is there anything else i should be aware of??

Thanks for any advice.

Quite simply it is an offence to sell a car that is not fit for the road. Therefore, if the garage have said they can't fix the fault that is on the car they sold you they are liable which is why they are trying to pay off the finance company.

Better off paying off the debt of the car than facing the garage owner being arrested and charged.

Hopefully it will be straightforward but just keep on the case and make sure they don't mess you around. Ensure you receive something in writing from the finance company that you have no outstanding liability to them.

Good luck
