hi
I've bought my rover 214(1999 reg - 57000miles) 2 weeks ago for £1000 from a local dealer.
The car was advertised on autotrader and dealer's site.
Found out next day after purchase that the car is not exactly as in advert: no electric mirrors, no height adjustable drivers seat, boot can be opened only separately with key.
Battery 2 days after purchase was flat - dealer paid over phone, and i went to pick it from the shop.
Found out after 5-6 days that car has no oil in engine, with a friends help, he put 2litres of oil in, after 2 days i've discovered engine is empty again, and is leakin on right side(when try pouring oil in). Same friend showed me there is leak from steering oils jar, and leak from exhaust exctly between driver and passenger seats, and lot of water going out from exhaust at rear end; when he tried to drive my car ive noticed that there is no light for reverse and brake light only for right side is working. Another thing will be that when i wanted to put some air in wheels, ive found out that my spare wheel is flat, with a big nail in it.
Ive called dealer and told him what is happening and that i am not happy about the car and would like a refund.
He said he sales cars for over 22 years and never had returns and wont start now; he mention i should come to garage because this is just a simple problem.
Called me at garage at begining of this week, then changed it on 17th march(today), when called m in the morning he said he has some problems, and better bring it on monday.
I would like to have money back and look for another car, can someone please advise me what can i do (with possible steps)?
PS: the car has warranty 3 mths, but im not satisfied with this and would like to return the car, mostly because i cant trust anymore this person, who keep delaying the job.
English is not my first language and i apologize if my writing isnt very good.
