Can I reject my used car?
I bought a 2002 Toyota Corolla last week from a trader. The engine warning light came on in the first 10 miles and my local garage says there is a problem with the cat converter. Can I reject it and if so on what grounds? The trader has already told me that the cat is not part of his "warranty".
