Re: 2nd hand car
Depends on how it was sold to you?
I.E. who was the seller here, the garage or a private individual?
If it was the garage, then why did they involve the private individual directly?
Did the garage take it as a trade in and not register it so that they could sell it on behalf of the private individual and therefore wipe their hands if any problems arose
(which it has in this case).
If the garage sold you the car, you should have paid them and got a receipt for same from the garage.
If you were buying from a private individual you have to be more careful then if you were buying from a garage.
It sounds like the garage will have nothing to do with it as you paid the owner directly.
What did the registration show?
i.e. is the person who you paid, the person registered on the book, if not then it's a member of the trade and you are probably going to have a problem trying to get somebody to take responsibility.
Was the garage a member of S.I.M.I.?
If yes then you should take it up with them (if the garage
washes it hands).
Firstly decide who sold you the car and take it from there.
