Magnet Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hello Karl, I guess you have this on hold while you debate about the issue with the car. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl280 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 Well dealer refusing to take it back , my own fault not getting proper warranty! got over excited and paying the consequences,hopefully with a miracle it’s not going to cost me my life to get my dream car sorted😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hello Karl, Although the dealer can initially refuse to take it back, he cannot refuse to put into ‘fit for purpose’ condition at his expense. When you say it was your fault for not getting a proper warranty, what exactly do you mean Karl - by being your fault? Did you by any chance haggle and get a discount, and then your haggle price was accepted on a trade basis - condition as seen, tried and accepted - without warranty? Sorry for more questions, but was this bought outside your locality, and did you test it before agreeing to buy it? Sounds like you are going to need legal advice in a hurry. CAB should be able to assist. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl280 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hi Gareth thanks for taking time out to read my thread. yeah I took it for a test drive it drove nothing short of superb. so on the day after he m o t the car I went to collect ,went over the car again all seemed great. payed,insured and taxed ,off I went ,got on to the motorway floored it down on the pedal and it slipped into neutral for a split second then knocked back into gear .it was late in the day by the time I got away .so he had gone! Phoned him and he said “don’t understand why it’s doing that it hasn’t before” so he said get transmission service done i.e fluids etc…then ring him back . Regarding haggling on price he wouldn’t budge a lot and to look at it’s really clean and by eye looks like it’s been looked after . I didn’t get any warranty probably over excited getting it after 4 long weeks trying to find the best one.I don’t know where I stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl280 Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 http://The mad thing is if you don’t club your foot down or use the paddle gears it drives like a dream but I’m not overly mechanic savvy so it may be wishful thinking !!

Magnet Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Thanks Karl, Back to your reply explaining how you bought it:- whatever you say, you still have a guarantee (for a minimum of 30 days I believe), so my earlier suggestion to seek professional legal advice is paramount - and urgent. Meanwhile, at a minimum, you would be advised to notify the seller by e-mail what your issue is - not using too many words. A silly point perhaps, but why do you feel inclined to ‘floor’ this car as you call it? Is that a driving style you like to adopt from time to time? Sounds as if you bought the car some distance from home - is this correct? Sorry to generate pressure Karl, but you really do need to be assertive with this (in a hurry), or be prepared to damage your wallet - whichever best suits. Perhaps you could let us know what you decide. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl280 Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Hi Gareth . no no I don’t drive foot to the floor but I done it to get a feel for the car on an open road and that’s when it happened. I drive sensible believe me! I didn’t know I had a mandatory 30 days return? im having it checked out by an Audi specialist this week and I’m in constant dialogue with the dealer so will let you know the outcome!

Magnet Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Sounds good Karl. Please check/search the 30day ‘norm’, just to be sure of what footing you are on. Sorry to be a pain, but if it were me, ‘constant dialogue’ would also be followed by e-mails outlining that dialogue, and what had been agreed. Having said all that, I think it’s realistic to keep reasonable expectations for any 14 year old car. Kind regards, Gareth.m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
