Hi, this was my first post and I posted in the completely wrong part of the forum, I have copied it to here, hope thats ok.
Hi, I purchased a 2nd hand car from a dealership and 6 weeks later the engine basically blew up - non repairable.
Garage would not do anything refund/exchange etc.
Upshot is that I have lodged a small claim, car was only £1000, but should last longer than 6 weeks.
Also car had previously been a cat c and this was not disclosed to me.
Papers were served some time ago with hearing date in Feb 13.
I was hoping to have heard from the garage as I do not relish the thought of going to court.
I have listed several points of law under the consumer credit act, main ones being that goods should last a reasonable amount of time and also not being told car was cat c is a malicious omission.
Do you think there's any chance of sucess here.
