Bought a faulty car

Yup, posts half a story and ignores numerous people asking the same question. Frustrating.
Troll wary of being caught out. Troll either ignores question (e.g. show us the CCTV, codes, NIP, etc) or needs time to look up codes. Former favoured every time. If rumbled, flounce. SOP.Not sure the attacks on OP are entirely fair, even a £850 car you'd expect to last more then a couple of days!
As per the general guidelines, within 30 days he has a right to reject the car for a full refund. What difference does the specific code, based off a repeated engine management light make? How would OP be able too obtain a code without a garage diagnostic bill?

Because the code could possibly relate to something as trivial as a loose fuel filler cap. Hardly grounds for a rejection. But unless he tells us what the codes are, how can we impart relevant advice.This thread is a sad reflection of how people seem to think these days - ffs it’s an £850 banger of course it’s going to have some things wrong with it.
And without knowing what the fault code is how can anyone seriously recommend rejecting it?
People seem to have got mixed up between buying an old banger and buying a toaster!

You seem to disputing that It's satisfactory quality, and under some circumstances this might be correct.And without knowing what the fault code is how can anyone seriously recommend rejecting it?

The point is they've agreed to accept it back, so both parties are in agreement it was not of satisfactory quality.
The only dispute is the extent of the refund, which is very clear in law should be full.
The only alternative scenario is that the dealer is buying it back in an unrelated transaction, which is clearly not the case and they'd have a very hard time trying to convince any court that it was.

You sound like you’ve been reading too many John Grisham books.The only alternative scenario is that the dealer is buying it back in an unrelated transaction, which is clearly not the case and they'd have a very hard time trying to convince any court that it was.

Doesn't that depend on what the fault is though? I doubt you'd get a full refund if it relates to a low oxygen sensor voltage or a blocked charcoal filter. And the OP seems reticent to put us out of our misery.Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
