returning a dodgy 2nd hand car to a dealer after 5 days
Discussion
a friend of mine showed me her new car today. its a 08 plate corsa bought from bristol street motor point in widnes.
i was horrified after looking round it to find overspray all over the place, orange peel, runs, contaminants in the paint and even masking tape still on the roof gutters !!
here's the panels ive found that have been very very badly painted
roof
both bumpers
driver side rear 1/4 all the way to the a post
drivers door
drivers front wing
obviously she wants to return the car and we are going to go in tomorrow but what are her legal rights ?
any advice greatly appreciated but please please dont post any thing unless you know its 100% fact
thanks in advice
heres just a few pics to show how they havnt even tried to hide the pathetic paint job

im quite prepared to stand outside handing out flyers saying whats happened to anyone coming in there if they dont play ball
But what have they done wrong? Did she pay top money? The paintwork is not very good in your opinion, but not hers as she didn't even notice when looking at the car...does this apply ?

A family member had a similar experience on a slightly older car from a well established dealer who's first name might be Arnold , they eventually agreed to have the paintwork professionally re-done so that it was much less obvious repairs had taken place. Refund or replacement was never an option.

what about any rights to just return it as shes changed her mind ? shes had it 5 days
Tough.I think you'll find if you go in all guns blazing demanding a full refund, they will politely tell you to fk off.
