Hi

Bought a used car in Jan with 12 mth warranty. Since then, has been in and out of the garage so many times with loads of problems. I'm sick to the teeth of the problems at this stage and was wondering if anyone knows if the garage is obliged to give a refund or just offer to keep on fixing the car.

its not that old and has 60k miles which i dont consider to be that much

thanks
 
You should talk to the dealer yourself first and express your complete frustration with the car you have purchased ask him what your options are if you no longer wish to keep it, he may offer you another car of same value or a complete refund in any case if they sold you a dodgy motor then it's their job to ensure you are happy if the car is still under warranty then you must apply pressure to the dealer to resolve the issue.

If the dealer is a member of Simi then you may be able to get them to step in.

Also could you please advise what type of car it is and what year?
Good Luck ;)

Yeah. Lesson learnt. French car = crap.

Hope you get some decent response from the dealer.
 
I have a 99D 306. I've never had any problems with it. My brother-in-law has had a number of Peugeots with no problems. The earlier models (back in the 80s) were prone to rust, but that's been corrected.
 
Hubbie had issues with his first ever car many years ago. Basically any time it rained it refused to go. Many trips to dealer and of course never rained those days so they insisted we were totally barmy. We had to get a motor assessor to inspect the car and issued a solicitors letter on the strength of the inspection and got refund plus costs. Turned out the engine was cracked.
It might be worth the few bob to get it checked out.
good luck
