Terrible car

After spending weeks reading on the main Dacia forum I decided to buy a new Duster in silver, All was good for the first week then I was wondering about condensation? Turned out that there was a leak, back to the dealer and after a couple of weeks it seemed to be fine. These things happen. Then rust on a new car. This should not happen, dealer said it was the first time they had heard about rust. The specialist paint repair expert said Sell the car as it is c*** steel and only has a dusting of paint, no galvanizing to protect the steel. A serious problem when you go for your 1st mot and it fails on corrosion. Reminiscing of Lancia beta in the late 70's. The sat nav has a mind of it's own,on off, on off, crazy electrics or blue tooth with decay.
So I will be selling this rusty Duster back to the same dealer. Buying anything that I can get a good deal. Trying to reject the car is a legal nightmare, cheapest solution is sell and tell.
