Office of fair trading ,A JOKE - peter moss

i had to buy another car as my renault was to expensive to repair ,so bought a Suzuki SX4 off gumtree from a local dealer ,i had to get a lift as i had no transport ,a neighbor who is a nurse gave me a lift but was short on time so i had no time to check the car out so bought it on spec yes i know never trust a dealer even though he advertized it as in good condition

It had a lot of paper work as was in what looked like great condition ,,driving home 4 miles the fan kept going on got home then did the checks to find no water in the engins at all put water in to find a leak from the back of the engine , im disabled and 73 to old to work on the car

Other faults were ABS did not work but no dash light come on front brakes down to 2/3mm

Front tyres down to the wear blocks ,,bottom joint worn out + wheel bearing going out .

Went online to the office fare trading in Poole /Bounemouth council only to find in their disclaimer that they cant stop a trader from trading & cant get your money back ,so left wondering what is the point of an office flll of people that cant even stop a rouge trader or help the public !

Get the car back to the dealer and ask for a refund or the car fixed properly.

If the ABs doesn't work, he should not have sold the car.

But up to ypu to give him a chance to repair.

always small claims court.

will move to legal
