Faulty Car on Finance

Hey all

I need some advice and opinions! I bought a car on finance 10 months ago, and within these 10 months the car has been back with the dealer 7 times to try and repair an electrical fault and they have now admitted they are unable to fix.

However, I paid 6k for the car and he said he can only "accept" it back for 4k!!

am I right in assuming that if the car is faulty and the fault was noticed very early (within the first month) and they have attempted to repair 7 times, surely I am now entitled to a full refund or a like for like exchange based on the 6k?!

any help will be greatly appreciated!

A similar thing happened to me but on a brand new car from curry motors a long time ago, the problem went on for almost a year.

In the end it cost me a solicitor’s letter and a month after that they gave me another brand new car.


Nice people to do business with

how much did you pay for the letter? thanks

That was about 20 years ago; I think it was £60

But you have nothing to lose by asking because the first session is free.

Unless the rules have changed since then.

Finance company is also responsible for resolving fault, so contact them.

Not to forget sale of goods act especially if car was faulty to begin with
