Am I correct in assuming that a Car dealer has to Warrant a car for 3 months after the invoice date?
I purchased a car 6 weeks ago from a midlands car dealer... And yesterday, a major engine issue became apparent.
I have been told by 2 different people within the trade, that they are legally obliged to provide warrenty on the car for 3 months.
He did tell me that he was providing 3 months warranty on the car, but I called him yesterday and he has not decided that it was one month.
If it was something silly or small, or just wear and tear, I would just get it done myself... But the main bearings have gone... Major engine work. or new engine.
I understand that this huy's gotta make a living, but I've only had the car 6 weeks, and I've spent most of that our of the Country... Have only done about a thousend miles in it. Now the engine is duff.
Car is a Toyota Celica Import. Paid £2000, so it's not like I gave him £100 for a knacker.
The guy is not being arsey or anything at the mo, and says he'll see what he can do, but I am just rather worried, as there is no reference to Warranty on the invoice.
I've not been arsey either, have talked to the guy nicely and tried to sort it out, and hopefully will get it sorted in this manor... But any advice if he decideds to tell me to sod off..?
Any advice?
Thanks Paul.
