Blown Turbo , Help Required

Thats my main problem the car was not sold as an Approved SEAT it was sold as a private sale through the SEAT dealership , something I didnt relise at the time.

I believe this would fall into the category of the goods being 'misrepresented ' to you. This is illegal under the sales of goods act. If they tell you an item has/does something that gets you to enter into a sale then that is illegal. I had this argument with a furniture shop when I was assured at time of order that it would be 6 weeks max!! This was the only reason I ordered the goods and they had failed to fulfill. The sales man 'misrepresented' the goods/delivery in order to secure my order. Thats what i was told anyway and it worked when i when to them with it.

I also believe you should try this route. I would say the salemen led you to believe it was an approved used car from an approved dealer garage and as such the car was misrepresented to you in order to get you to enter into a sale with them.

I would reject the car based on this and tell both your finance company and the dealership as such!

Hopefully the finance company should go to bat for you as they have a vested interest in your Tri-Party agreement.

It's failed within six months, drop your LBA on them, copy your finance company. If they haven't sorted it within your deadline, drop the keys back to them and inform them in writing you are officially rejecting the car under SOGA. Make sure you keep paying the finance (I know it sucks but you will get it back).

I don't understand the "drop your LBA on them" part.

Sorry

Well for anyone interested after 8 weeks I have finally got my car back.

In the end i cut a deal with the garage in which i supplied them with a turbo,which I got from turbocharger-solutions.co.uk , luckly a friend of mine knows the owner so I got an extreamely good price and the garage carried out all the repairs + MOT + valet at no cost to myself.

From the original repair price to what I paid out was a saving of 83% so i was happy with the outcome. I'm also glad it passed the MOT or the process could of started again !!


Thanks for everyones input it was alot of help
