I bought a second hand car 2 weeks ago from a dealer (see this thread with people arguing about hairdressers) after 4 days it promptly broke down. It’s still broken and the garage can’t figure out what’s wrong with it.
How much recourse do I have with the dealer that sold the car given that the car only cost £1000? I’m not expecting that it should have been perfect but I was at least hoping that it would last more than 3 miles. Can I just take it back to them and demand they rectify the fault or give me my money back. I’ve had a look at the Honest John FAQs and it’s a bit ambiguous about very cheap cars.
For those of a mechanical leaning that are interested it’s a 1996 Saab 900 2.0t convertible and it would appear that no fuel is getting to the engine, they’ve changed the coil pack which now means the engine sparks but it still won’t run. The garages fault reader won’t hook up to the car properly either to tell them why.
