Greetings.
Many thanks for providing us with useful information. From what I see here, used car issues are very popular. Please read my case and help, if you wish. I feel that I have purchased a lemon car and by reading this, you will understand my concerns.
So where to begin from. I purchased a used car from a dealer in Victoria just 3 weeks ago. On the first 2 days, everything was fine. Since then, the problems were started. Firstly, there were funny clicky noises (insignificant) and the boot was not closing perfectly resulting in nosies each time I was on a rough surface. I noticed then that the back wiper wasn't working. So I addressed all of those and we fixed them.
All good (I wish). Those funny clicking and ticking noises still existed and eventually, I noticed a significant decline in the car's power and a siren noise like an ambulance. I knew that the turbo was not boosting.
I took it to the dealer's mechanic and he confirmed the turbo has passed away and the dealer fixed it. Just had it yesterday, however, I discussed with the dealer that I no longer wish to keep the car and I would have never purchased the car if I knew about this defect.
The car still makes a new noise coming from the left rim. Like you hit two irons together. Of course, he offered to fix it. However, the whole story is very psychologically stressfull for me as well as my wife. I can no longer do this as it's only 3 weeks of ownership. I have been with his mechanic 6 or 7 times and the car was sitting there for a week ( loan car provided as stated by the law).
I discussed with the dealer explaing that I wish to friendly reverse the deal and resign the contract expressing all of the above. He refused, saying that it's beyond his control. He is the manager of the company and the others (owners) won't reverse the deal, etc.
I was willing to even give him something like half of the cost of his stamp duty. I don't feel that I am insane. If I wanted to be at the mechanic daily I would have kept my 16 years old car. I missed hours and hours from work and still have to deal with issues. Can you please provide any help?
I gave you as much information as I could. Do I get any chance to support that if I knew about the turbo failure/ replacement ( wich is major), I wouldnt have entered that deal? As well as all of these visits to his mechanic? He advised that he will speak again with his "managers" (which sounds like a cheap excuse) and will give an answer on Monday and if they are willing to give a refund and how much it will be.
I am seriously thinking of lodging a complaint and get this to the court.
Could you please help me with the case and any potential costs?
Thank you in advance
