Can anyone advise me on the following.
Teenage Son purchased a car last May for £3000 and took out finance arranged by the garage. The car had a "full service history" and a 3 month warranty.
Basically my son was ripped off and stupidly did not ask anyone with knowledge of cars to check it out with him. The finance is quite uncompetitive but manageable monthly payments.
Now in February the engine has blown up, on repair the cam belt was exceedingly worn which caused the engine to go, and the clutch went.
This has cost £2700 to repair. The car could not be scrapped due to finance being owed.
Do we stand anywhere in approaching the garage which sold it, as clearly the car did not have a full service history, and ask them to contribute to this,or do we just have to suck it up?
