Wanted to get Australian Consumer Law help, please.
6 days ago, I bought a car that was advertised as a 2014 model. Throughout the whole carsales ad, the car was portrayed as a 2014 model and said the car still had a year warranty being a '14 model. Other links and checks on the site portrayed the car as 2014 also. His word was trusted. Had someone go do a road test, car was fine.
Yesterday, I discovered his purchase date of car was in October 2013 and the car was, in fact, a 2013 model. I contacted the seller to work out a refund of the money to the according year model and now a car with no warranty. He refused, claiming he made a mistake on the ad and it was tough luck I had bought the car, and I should have checked.
The wife had full knowledge the car was 3 years old and basically said " sorry, but you can't do anything now, you are stuck with the car".
I told him I want a full refund because the car was misrepresented and there clearly was deceit involved. I have never bought a used car before and believed his paperwork, advertisement and word in good faith.
Please help!
