I've bought a car from garage. I realised some fault before I paid the money, but was assured it was on because of the oil change and it would go away in a moment (wich has never happened) I took car back to the garage for repairs. Garage took car to the main dealer and told me it could take couple more days to road test a car. It was 10 days ago. Garage is 150 miles away and I've got to take day off to go there and back. The bloke I usualy speak to always keep promising what never happens. Also I was told that I won't get any refund.

You are potentially entitled to a refund and expenses under the Sale and Supply of Goods Act. Seek guidance from the Trading Standards Department for the area where the sale was actually agreed. This will only be the one where you live if you bought the car by phone or letter. Otherwise where the garage is situated. Depending on the services offered by the department, they may actually intervene on your behalf. Citizens Advice Bureaus can also help.

Usually you are not entitled to any refund in second hand cars unless you had a word in writing with the seller before purchase.The seller is usually interested to sell the car anyway with or without its faults.Its always better to consult a friend with technical knowledge / experience and thoroughly check and test drive the car before buying it.I do not think its wise to take the garage to the court.Better spend that money on the repair in a reputed garage instead of court fees.

She came and saw the car. She handed over the cash. She drove it away. It's her car now. It's no longer anything to do with you. She should have had the car inspected BEFORE parting with the cash. It's the risk you take with a private sale. In the UK a private car buyer has virtually no comeback against the seller. Taking it to a mechanic the next day means nothing. It doesn't matter if it has 3 wheels and no windows or brakes. It's her car now. Your sister has absolutely zero to worry about. She can't take you to court.

If you bought from a trader you have full protection under the sale of goods act and other regulations. It seems that the car was not fit for use and you should get a prompt fix or full refund. Speak to your Trading Standards department, or to Consumer Direct on 0845040506.
