what rights do you have

[curtainrail]

If you buy from a car dealer who isent part of a garage governing body (forgot the name of it), if you buy a car and it becomes faulty within a couple of weeks?

As above, your rights from all car dealers are the same. There is no "garage governing body".

By contrast, your rights buying from a private individual are many fewer, because it doesn't fall in the remit of that Act.

Edited to add: Google is your friend if you want to know what these rights are:

So basically if something was clearly wrong with the car that hadent been advertised or picked up on test drive the consumer would have rights to return the car? How easy is this in practice????

not....
in addition to the above comment about 500 or 5000...
If you have payed under the deemed average price for said vehicle then it could be expected that ther maybe a minor faults. pay going or top price then you should expect a good or better then average condition.

for a fault..
you basicly have to give THEM or their choosen workshop a chance to rectify.
If, once given that chance the !same!** fault is not fixed.

• but if it turns into a long list of continuing minor/mid faults**

then you can start talking return.

only what I have learnt from my own experiance so not quoting SOG..

so by law they have to fix or offer a return??
