Last November I purchased a car. The dealer told me that it had a perfect service history and ran perfectly, as well as coming with one years warranty. Silly enough, I believed him. However I've since had a few issues he has fixed all but one though warranty, as the warranty didn't cover coolant hose.
However the most recent issue is that my car stopped working. I had it towed to his mechanic. They have advised me it had a faulty gear box. I've since read my paper work further and it turns out he sold me a repairable write off, which means it has no warranty. He never told me that it was a repairable write off, otherwise I would not have got it.
He keeps dogging my calls and questions apart from saying he's getting a second opinion, in regards to fixing it and the mechanic told me he has not given a decision on what to do. Lost of the use of my car is causing great issues from myself. I'm having trouble getting my kids to school and attending my anti-natal appointments as both are a distance from my home and public transport can take up to two hours.
What can I do under Australian Consumer Law as he never stated it was a repairable write off?
