Hi,
I purchased a diesel pickup van from a dealer 10 weeks ago. It cost £4000, probably about £500 under book value. This weekend the engine has blown up.
I contacted the, and he said he wouldn't do a thing. He also said that if I looked at my receipt it said "purchased for restoration", which it did.
I accept that I hadn't noticed this clause, and it certainly wasn't made clear tome when purchased.
I purchased the van for immediate use, and the dealer even put a new MOT on it. Also, why would I pay almost book value for something that needed "restoration".
Do I have any right to claim the repairs back from the dealer (estimated at £3000!).
Thanks
