Right to Reject (vehicle dealership) - Campervan
Hi,
I'm looking to see where I sit here.
I purchased a VW campervan on the 12/05/2023 (6 days ago) via part exchange - My van was actually worth £7,000 more to them and they've already sold it (£24,995 Vs £17,995).
I asked them to fix some things before taking delivery, one of which was the windows in the back one was sealed shut and the other couldn't be shut and they are due to fix that tomorrow, no problem.
One other was the front fans dont blow out air and the AC isn't working, they've not fixed that despite saying everything was fixed.
Then it gets deeper, the brakes are awful and you push them all the way to the floor before anything happens.
One side panel, whilst you could see some bubbling has now started to chip away and reveal bubbling holes of rust.
In the foot wells, covered by mats, there was a lot of wet and damp - I have pictures unfortunately I don't know how to post these at the same time as writing this.
A front bulb is out - Not a big thing but present when I bought it and it somehow passed an MOT with this and the brake problem.
For context it's a 17 year old VW T5 camper conversion.
My mind is that I should reject the vehicle as it's only been a few days and already finding loads of problems, where do I sit legally?
Would I be better off asking them to just rectify everything? Is rust covered or is it "sold as seen"?
Thanks
