Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone has got any experience in successfully claiming money back for a miss sold vehicle?
Ill cut the long story short, I bought a vehicle for £16,500. The day I got home it started leaking oil, they collected the car from me and attempted to fix it. A week later I travelled 3 hours back to them to pick it back up, on the way home it started saying there was no coolant in the car, further inspection it turns out they emptied the coolant and filled it with plain water so the sensor thought it was empty. I phoned them back up and asked them to pay a garage near me to fix it, they wouldn't and hung up on me. Since then its gone down hill fast! Fast forward 6 months I found out the car was involved in a flood and written off. When I bought the car I was told it was a write off vehicle because it was stolen recovered, it even said on the advert that it has never been involved in an accident. I still have all the screen shots of they're adverts. Because I found out it was involved in a flood I booked it in with a main dealer to have a look over it, they found a lot of problems including 2 oil leaks, a bypassed fuse with copper wire and bent brake lines. I phoned the garage back up and asked to return the vehicle as it wasn't the vehicle I was sold and faulty. He refused and again hung up. I sent them 3 letters with no reply. So i started a money claim online for the full price of the vehicle, however the only problem is I have done 9000 miles since I bought it. Now the dealer is willing to buy it back, but for nearly £4000 less than what I bought it for 6 months ago. Has anyone got similar experience going to court over a issue or have any idea how much a Judge would deduct for mileage etc? Thank you!
