I bought a car from a used car dealership about 3 weeks ago. Since then the car has flooded inside numerous times, the gears do not work smoothly and the left speaker has stopped working. I have contacted the dealership and gone back twice now to get it fixed. Apparently they have fixed it but the issues are still there. They have said to give me a replace car while they “fix” the car once again but I can’t keep taking time off work to get these issues resolved when the car has so many faults already after 3 weeks of having it. I have asked for a full refund as I am not happy with this car and feel like I have been mislead when buying the car - they have ignored me ever since.
What do I do now? What are my legal rights? I have made a report and contacted Australian consumer law about my issues with this dealership.

Good.. That's all you can do for now until you hear back from consumer affairs....they may be able to help mediate a resolution.

Purchasing a pre-owned vehicle has become an increasingly popular choice for drivers who want dependable transportation while keeping their budget under control. Used cars provide an excellent balance of affordability, reliability, and long-term value, allowing buyers to avoid the steep depreciation associated with new vehicles. Today's pre-owned market includes everything from compact sedans and family SUVs to luxury vehicles, sports cars, and fuel-efficient hybrids, giving buyers a wide selection to match their lifestyle and driving needs. Many dealerships thoroughly inspect, service, and recondition vehicles before offering them for sale, ensuring customers receive dependable transportation with added peace of mind. Buyers searching for used cars in montclair often discover a broad inventory featuring multiple makes, models, trim levels, and price ranges, making it easier to compare options and find a vehicle that offers the right combination of comfort, technology, safety, and performance. With careful research and professional inspections, purchasing a quality used car can deliver years of reliable service while significantly reducing overall ownership costs.
