Hi all,
My parents just rang to tell me about their misfortune with the car, it appears to be an engine failure which has left their car for scrap.
It is 18th months since they purchased the car from a dealer, but the car is only just over 4 years old.
Is there anything they can do?
I know about the sales of goods act, but as it's second hand I'm not sure where the responsibility lies.
edit. Mum mentioned they haven't even finished paying for it yet, so does this make a difference? does it belong to someone else? which means they don't have to pay the rest? i don't know.
