Hi,
I bought a car (2003 Kia Sportage) from a dealership and the check engine light came on that same day I got home. I then got an independent mechanic report, which showed a number of defects about the car making it un-roadworthy.
The car yard offered to fix the problems on the list, which they did gave me a report and I drove away. 2 days after that, the car's engine blew up and now it's un-driveable.
I have since discovered that the documentation - the receipt, form 12 and the used car contract all say the vehicle was a 2011 Kia Sportage, the safety certificate says it's a 2003 Kia Sportage and Qld transport say its a 2002 Kia Sportage.
I initially wanted a refund, but now I'm wondering if I can also get compensation for not having a driveable vehicle and has put me considerably out of pocket.
