  • Loss of bargain

    I purchased a used boot lid for my car mail order from a company specialising in used car parts called dronsfields

    The item was silver to match my car and had a rear heated windscreen as I needed.
    I agreed a price of £138 inc delivery which I then negotiated to £118 after some damage to the paint was shown to me in a photo.

    The boot lid arrived with the glass smashed.

    I have sought replacement glass the cheapest price is £205.
    I have sought a replacement part of the same colour complete with the glass but cannot find one.
    Dronsfields have offered a replacement part in the wrong colour which will cost £160-£200 to respray plus they will obiously have the cost of collecting the damaged and delivering the undamaged part.

    Under SOGA 1979 s 53 do I have the right to recover the cost of putting right the damaged part?

    No, but you do have the right to replacement or repair under warranty of contract which also falls under SOGA at the sellers costs! or a full refund.
