Faulty Second Hand Car - Consumer Rights Act 2015

[Wagonwheel555]

If I had spent £2500 on a 14 year old Mini, I would have been surprised if it didn’t need a few hundred quid of repairs.

Hopefully our can get it sorted out.

Absolutely this.



Jesus christ, I can't believe you think you can buy a 14 year old car for £2500 from a dealer, who has said he will fix it and you want to take it to a main dealer.

You're coming across as a muppet mate and the fact you are not allowing him to sort it means you won't have a leg to stand on if you pursue a claim.

Nearly every Mini of that age will have failing pre and post cat o2 sensors by the way.

I have previously stated that I do not want to or am planning on taking it to a main dealer for the repair. I happen to have a friend who works at a main dealer, I would prefer for him to do the work for me, not at the main dealer, not with main dealer prices.

The fact is you bought it from a dealer, who has offered to repair it for you.
You can't dictate where you have it repaired, whether it is £250 or £250k, you have to let the dealer repair it for you.

See it from his perspective, you saying you want 'your mate' to repair it.
Think of the implications of that?

Maybe go back and say "How about you source the parts, as you may have trade accounts, and I will get the bits sorted. I am trying to be as fair as possible here."

See what he says?
