Ok, hands up, I trusted a second-hand car dealer and thinking it might have been a big mistake
I bought a car last Tuesday that was advertised as having Full Service History. I test drove it, liked it and paid by bank transfer. I got the car but...... The FSH wasn't available as the guy that sold the dealer the car hadn't dropped it in yet but he would this evening.
Except he didn't
I called two days later and he was going to drop it in over the weekend
Except he didn't.
I 'phoned today and he is going to drop it in after work tomorrow.
Except I'm assuming he won't.
I made a big mistake, I admit that, but the advert clearly stated FSH so I feel I should have some redress under the law. I like the car, I don't really want to hand it back but I wouldn't have paid what I did for a vehicle with FSH.
I have been told that the misrepresentation act of 1967 might be appropriate and I am minded to send a letter (assuming the FSH doesn't appear) telling him I want either the FSH within seven days or a refund of an amount that reflects the difference in values.
Has anyone had a similar experience, or have any advice/suggestions (apart from "get your brains tested") please?
Thanks
Tony
