Sold dodgy vehicle from a car dealership 🙄

[Nasir125]

Hi

This group came highly recommended by a good friend and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I purchased a car over a month ago and the vehicle broke down within 3 hours of purchase and less than 100miles driven.

A recovery vehicle was required to complete my journey home at a cost of £170.

The dealership are not accepting responsibility stating that the vehicle was sold with no warranty.

I have wrote to them twice, requesting a reply within 14 days each time, and have heard nothing back (both letters sent recorded delivery and confirmed as signed for)

Letter 1 - I quoted the consumer rights act that the vehicle was faulty within 30 days and requested a full refund and reimbursement of recovery vehicle cost

Letter 2 - The same as letter 1 and also asked if they were part of a alternative dispute resolution scheme or an ombudsmen

I've had no reply to both letters and am seeking advice on the best next action.

Guidance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Nasir

Is the dealership a limited company or a sole trader?
What was the cost of the vehicle?
Its age & mileage?
What was date of purchase?
What was date of your first contact with dealers reporting problem and requesting refund?
What was date of your first letter rejecting vehicle?
Have you told dealer you will initiate court action?

Hi Des8

I think they are a limited company but not certain. I've checked companies house and there are several records for London Motors Ltd but with addresses that don't match up with the dealership i visited. The records show of 2 which have dissolved within a year so could be the same dealership that close up and setup again under a new director. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/s...=london+motors

The vehicle was advertised for £3000 but i purchased for £2700. It's a 2005 vehicle and had just under 100,000 miles

Vehicle purchased - August 8th 2019
Phone call made - August 8th 2019 (Voicemail) & August 9th 2019
First Letter sent - August 14th 2019
Second letter sent - September 4th 2019

I've tried to be reasonable in my approach so far but the next stage i feel is to initiate court action

I've attached the letters I've sent to this message
