Over a month ago we bought a car from a dealer using our debit card. We went to get new tyres and the garage said the tyres that were on the car werent road legal ans were actually dated from 2001, We had initially planned to replace two but this meant we also had to do the other two, the car was booked in for allignment too. However due to such substantial suspension defects it couldnt be done and would need both arms replacing, along with both front brakes abd brake pads and the rear leaf springs needed sorting too. The car is a grand chrsyler voyager 2003 so parts are slightly more expensive. We were quoted 200 for 4 new tyres and 1115 for all the work that needed to be done. Not including new speakers that they hadnt informed us that would be needed. We contacted the company who offered 100 towards repairs, and also said sold as seen. Not only was this never said it was alsoi never agreed nor signed. They then blocked us on any form of contact going. So i went to moeny advice who told me to contact my bank. provided proof to my bank and they have refunded the money.
The issue I have now is i still have the car, im still having to pay tax and insurance on it. And with the refund the bank gave me I am still out of pocket because i had to replace the tyres before being allowed to leave the garage, the work it needed doing is about the same price as the car cost. What do i do with the car now? Can i sell it? Recoup my lost money and give them the remainder although with the issues its likely to be money owed to me from them.
