South Africaで
最終更新日: Nov 27, 2025
I purchased a car from a used car dealership cash and the next day the car had an engine sign/light showing and the gears were stuck, so i had to park on the side of the road .
I contacted the dealer and they sent car breakdown services to collect the car.
After that they said the next day when the mechanic is there he will check the car and see what’s the problem if something needs to be fix the will fix it , I said i no longer want the car but want a refund. they said to me they don’t do refunds.

Hello,


I am sorry to hear about the trouble with your recently purchased vehicle. It is very frustrating when a car breaks down just a day after buying it, especially when the dealer refuses a refund immediately.


Based on general consumer protection laws (depending on your jurisdiction, such as the Consumer Rights Act in the UK or Lemon Laws in the US), dealers often have legal obligations when a vehicle becomes faulty so soon after purchase. You typically have rights to reject the vehicle within a certain timeframe if it is not of satisfactory quality or fit for purpose.


Since I am based internationally, I cannot represent you in person, but I can provide you with a detailed legal consultation via text to help you understand your specific rights and the next steps to take against the dealer.


Please feel free to contact me on WhatsApp . I offer affordable consultation sessions and would be happy to guide you through this process.


Best regards,
