whats your thoughts guys?
I bought a 2002 bugeye with just 80K miles back in December 2015, sold with a misfire, dealer said to replace coils and plugs...sold as seen
First the clutch went (cost me 550 to fix) Now the bottom end has gone and it needs a rebuild.... do you think the dealer should front the cost of the rebuild (as I can't afford the cost at all) or it it just bad luck on my part? Do I have a leg to stand on if I called the dealer? Only driven it a few hundred miles! All advice welcomed! |
There's no such thing as sold as seen when buying from a dealer, did you sign to say that you purchased it as either a trade sale or salvage?

Get on to citizens advice. |
Unless you signed a disclaimer stating sold for parts or spares then you legally have a 6 month fit for purpose warranty if bought from a dealer who is vat registered
|
Sold with no warranty I wouldn't of thought you have 6 months to take it back if it breaks?
Might be wrong tho? If I bought a car from a garage,screwed it around,blew the engine up,could I get my money back? |
Not saying this is what you have done jimbo by the way,sounds like you've had rotten luck with it.
Hope you get it all sorted mate. |
If a major component goes, you are covered legally if you persue.
Most don't bother, garages try fob you off but that's the law as far as I know it. |
My mate got a new turbo under this legislation after 3 months of owning car, obviously garage didn't want to know until he went legal route

sold as spares or car for breaking. But if you buy a car on those terms and expect it to be a top motor i think you have to be a bit daft.
