Oh, just to add, in my experience 98% of customers do not usually want a refund. They chose the car in the first place and are normal, reasonable people who will happily work with a normal, reasonable seller to resolve things satisfactorly.

Of the 2% who sometimes do, I'm sorry to say but many do not actually want a refund because of the fault they may or may not have found. Most of them have experienced "buyer's remorse" and want out because they realise they have over stretched themselves financially, the car uses too much fuel, it is too big/small for their needs, the wife/husband doesn't like it etc. etc.

They then search high and low to find something to complain about in the hope of getting it out of the deal.

There are many dishonest sellers but there are sadly just as many totally dishonest buyers who try and manipulate the system.

And just like with the current legislation what heppens if the dealer has no intention of giving refunds or has no funds to do so. Only recourse is then the courts and even if found in your favour there is no garantee you will see a penny. You will still have to cease using the car once you reject it meaning you will have to rely on lifts or buy another.

In reality it will make no difference to the majority but will potentaiily make the courts bussier and solicitors richer.
