Bought a car at auction a month ago. Auction house said it was a part-exchange. I googled the number plate the day before the auction and found it advertised with a garage which I found odd. So I called them pretending to be interested and they said it had now been sold. Recently got car checked over and garage said needs min 2,500 spend just to get through next MOT in May and poss considerably more (other faults needs investigating) and recommended getting rid of it.
Car was sold as seen. If I had bought the car from the garage directly, I would have been protected by the Sale of Goods Act. Would I still have any protection as the seller is, I presume, the garage (although it is not the registered owner)? I believe the garage sent it straight to auction after discovering the faults on closer inspection (they give RAC warranties with their cars, so would probably have been unable to offer one with this car). Just clutching at straws I suppose.
