Autotrader wrong description

[bodybuilder]

Hi guys posting on behalf of my mother who recently purchased a second hand car.

 

She purchased a Mazda 2 3 weeks ago from a car dealer after seeing it on Auto trader, recently she noticed the car has no air con despite being inclined that the advert said air con and also later finding out that the wheels were not alloys. She got into contact with auto trader who sent her a copy of the original advert and it did state "manual air con" and "alloy wheels".

 

She contacted the dealers who basically said that the advert on auto trader is basically a template of the same model car and is not always accurate and basically fobbed her off a little before wanting more time.

 

We later discovered online that the actual description on the auto trader advert is not a template and it is actually the data that could be classed as a basic template from the same model car.

 

Where do we stand? what are the likely out comes of the situation a little advice would be great thanks.

Template or not, the car must correspond to the description and the dealer is in breach. Sale of Goods Act s.13

 

Negotiate a good reduction or else return the car. Sort it out this week. The longer you go, the easier it will be for the dealer to say that you ave accepted the car and that you are not entitled to return the car.
