Do I have any rights, when sold without a warranty

[Shopgirl31uk]

Hi there my name is Kerry and I hope you can give me some advice.

 

I recently bought (19/06/2009) a renault espace from Beech Motor Company for £2800 for my growing family, and on initial inspection everything looked fine, even had a test drive in it and it was great, so we bought it and was given a receipt which says on it trade sale, no warranty. Anyway on the motorway back home on overtaking a car the car just cut out and warning signs came on which is so frightening when you have children in the car!. We rang the garage back up and he said get a quote and give me a call back, so a few days later we take it to a garage who said it could be a valve on it needs replacing. So we ring the guy back up and he said well after speaking to his boss theres nothing he can do because it was sold with no warranty. So anyway we thought ok thats just one of those things well know for next time. Anyway the guy at the garage is now saying its not the valve, thats ok, its the injectors which will cost around £1500, are they aloud to sell a car like this and where do we stand on getting our money back or don't we, please help!!!!!!

 

Thankyou

Give your local Trading Standards a ring

Sold as seen what a load of c**p, regardless of wether the car had a warranty or not the garage has a legal duty to ensure that the vehicle is fit for purpose. Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994 states:-

 

Where the seller sells goods in the course of a business, there is an implied term that the goods supplied under the contract are of satisfactory quality.

 

Breaking down not even 24hrs after purchasing the car is not something i would regard as satisfactory quality!

 

Go back to the garage with a copy of the Act if need be and tell him to fix it

[yaffsimone1]

For the purposes of this Act, goods are of satisfactory quality if they meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as satisfactory, taking account of any description of the goods, the price (if relevant) and all the other relevant circumstances.

 

I'm assuming the seller didn't advise you of any faults with the car before purchase, if he did and you still purchased it then you may have a problem
