Hi folks,
Just a quick one if anybody is in the know.
Basically other half bought a convertible about 4 weeks ago, paid £3000. The garage we bought it from, the guy had been using it and then decided to get it fully resprayed prior to selling it (Its a StreetKa and was blue, it got re-sprayed white, apparently it didn't shift when it was blue).
With all the rain we've had this week, its been pissing water through where the wing mirror attaches on the passenger door. When she rang me I didn't think much of it (I work away) I've gone to the car today and it stinks, its soaking (apparently passenger footwell was about 2 inches deep in water).
I have some vague recollection that if a car develops a fault within 90 days there may be some protection, does anybody have an idea where we stand in this case?
My gut feeling would be to take it back to the place we bought it from and dump the fucker on their forecourt until its sorted (after all they paid for the respray and I'm guessing it due to an assembly fault when the car was put back together), but anybody more clued up?
Cheers,
John.

Unfortunately mate I wasn't there when the deal was done (which is a fucker when it was my card that was used to put the deposit down when it was first viewed
)
I don't think she opted for any extra warranties though.

Yeah it was bought through a dealer mate.
As for speaking to them ive been three times and the bloke I need to speak to is 'out' (convenient) so I've sent a letter.

youve done the right thing by writing to them. you must give them reasonable oppertunity to rectify the faults. then you can go down the not fit for purpose route and recieve a full refund.
make a list of faults the seller may decide to refund you to get rid of you.
colour change would ring alarm bells with me.

Well known for leaks these mate.
My wife has one.
To be honest, I would have a look myself and see if its something obvious that you can sort yourself.
It should be down to the dealer but if you end up arguing the toss while all the white it's raining in, it's gonna end up minging.

This is why I should have looked at the bloody thing properly as opposed to looking at the advert and saying 'yeah fine but check it carefully'
