I am new to cars, to me £675 is a lot of money, we are not flush with cash and considering my first car a few months ago was only £150 and lasted till upgraded this £675 is luxury!! I am now able to purchase another car whilst I fight for a refund for this one, luckily my budget is £2000! so hoping i get better now!

Well the letter was sent monday first thing signed for recorded, she has not picked it up from the post office, I gave her 7 days from the date of the letter to respond, she is still advertising online so clearly has been home etc I stated in letter 7 days but as she doesn't have it yet, when do I start the 7 days? I was going on monday if no response start the small claims route, but ahh I don't know what to do? do I still do that even if she doesn't have it yet

Someone else has asked me this, but no they don't trade under any name, they just use their own name and work from home. They don't have a website, just word of mouth and a facebook group they advertise in, the face book group is run by someone else under a general name, but they advertise a lot on there She claims she is registered and insured, thinking about looking into them more but not sure where to start, if you think you could help I could send you her information privately?

It's not a dealer as such, its a husband and wife who runs out of their own home, but has around 10 cars all the time, they are 40 mins from me, at present as I have in the past couple days seen them *bully* others online, until I get a result I will not be naming them. I have sent a letter this morning and said I want a full refund within 7 days, should have put about them picking up the car too didn't think about that
-
thanks for the advice, last question for now, as the car is unusable, would it best to SORN the car?
-
thank you I am thinking of putting a SORN on the car as I have no faith in it to use it, will this effect anything?
-
Paid by bank transfer, deposit was paid then final paid via transfer when they arrived with the car She won't talk on the phone and will only send me messages via facebook She has offered now to repair the car at trade price but I have to pay it, to have a car for 14 days and for it to land in a garage 3 soon to be 4 times surely that is wrong I need to send her a formal email hows best way to word it?

Link doesn't work, can you relink or let me know what to look for?

2 weeks ago today I purchased from a dealer a Vauxhall zafira 2003 MOTd till March I was told it had only just undergone a service and was fine for driving In urgent need, I paid £675 and they delivered it when it was ready, Being a dealer I trusted them totally, they had nothing but good feedback Bare in mind also I am a new driver and unsure what to look for in cars ie faults and things, but she test drove perfectly. A few days later going down hill, with 4 children in the car My brakes failed, managed to get to a garage safely and quickly and paid for them to be sorted, considering the trader had claimed a new brake cylinder had been put it in, I was annoyed. Then a engine management light popped up, I mailed trader and she said Lamba sensors are damp, it will be fine, the car had little to no power and was struggling on hills in 2nd, and I could drive it with the handbrake on, also when handbrake was off you could flick it and it would say it was on!! so I asked my brother who builds bikes to have a look He found a split Tyre, battery tray was broken, one of the pipes that should blow hot air into the car was loose, Underpowered was because it was running at half power and the light coming on was the catalytic converter, The battery tray alone is apparently a instant MOT failure. I called the trader and she booked it into the garage to be looked at, garage spotted everything my brother had and rebooked for it to come back in, I went back a few days later and the garage did what only the trader told them to do. despite the garage saying the cat needed replacing the trader wanted it sprayed and apparently that would fix it. 6 hours later (yesterday) I was on my way home tired, and cold and wet and hungry ( 6 hours in the pouring rain in middle of no where is no fun!) This morning, engine management light came back on and this evening the clutch failed on the middle of a roundabout!! I managed to get it to the side of the road and called green flag who towed me home Now I spoke to the trader yet again and shes saying its driver error that broke the clutch, I made up about the hand brake and that there was nothing wrong with it and that she will look into getting the clutch repaired cheap as poss but If I sold it off as said I will, then I am going to be out of pocket because of how much the clutch is going to cost! I have asked her to refund me as she has sold me a car that wasn't fit for the road but she said I am wrong, there is nothing wrong with the car and I can go to trading standards but she will be in the right and I don't have a leg to stand on! Do I have any rights here or have I screwed up?
