If you have purchased the car on finance, then technically the finance company own the vehicle. If you go to the finance company and threaten rejection of the vehicle based on your problems, and mention the Sales of Good Act (Implied Terms - Vehicle Not Fit For Purpose), then they will contact the dealer directly and make friggin' sure he sorts it out!! The finance company will not be to impressed if they have forked out 6K on a pile of ****e. Its their asset, not yours.

If it was me, after the dealer told me my old car was a Cat D I would have done my own HPI check. The dealer could have just been bluffing to try and get you to part with more cash!

You could still do one and if it comes back clean hit the fooker where it hurts.
 
Did not end the deal on good terms with the dealer and i really did not know my old car was a cat d i paid full money for it from a ford dealer. So gave him the extra grand as i felt bad.

Reading this thread has stressed me out. Please send me £500, I am not unreasonable so will not ask for £1000
 
The dealer is operating outside of legal requirements by advertising or selling 'sold as seen'.
No such description exists in law and either has to be advertised/sold as 'spares/repair' or sold with a warranty. End of.

"donkey raping cock master"

No one else has picked up on that you said you bought your Mondeo from a Ford dealer but it was a total loss. Did they not tell you, if not and the loss was before you bought it you have a claim against them as well
 
HPI is fooking useless According to them my 90 had 167k on the clock in July 09. Which was strange as it only had 107k and the details had never been given to them by me and I'd had the car since 2007.

However I'd be very surprised if the car has been a CAT D writeoff. I doubt very much if a major ford dealer would shift a cat D without informing the new owner. Ford frown on this sort of activity. As it gives Ford bad PR.

I'd say the OP has been had by a proper Essex wideboy con artist.

Definitely worth considering as something similar happened to me a few years back, when all sort's of problems surfaced after a few weeks ownership. Dealer didn't want to know as the cost of part's/labour was basically making the sale a money loser for him.

So one call to the finance co. telling them to come and collect the car and hey ho dealer is calling asking me to take car in to put right the issue's I'd found. The dealer even tried to get me to pay for part's if he provided labour:doh:

Needless to say no money left my pocket, 6 weeks later and after a lot of phone calls she was sorted (delay was blamed on having to import the parts from Toyota Japan). Funny thing is that dealer is no longer trading:rolleyes:
