The rest of your post is absolute nonsense. A member of the public buying a car cannot be sold a car as a trade sale or similar in an attempt to avoid responsibilities under the legislation. Its been like this for years.
As someone who has used the new legislation very recently it is certain the OP is well covered as he/she is not a car dealer or a trader.
I wonder if you might be able to advise? My father brought a car from a dealer, part ex his and the car went wrong within 3 days, we took it straight to our left cal garage who ran a diagnostic tests to tell us it needed £900 worth of work all to do with the dpf filter. We contacted the trader who initially agreed hecwouod return car and refund monies, only for two days later to claim he acted hastily and would not do that. As a goodwill gesture, his terms, he said we could take it to his garage so they could inspect.
We did not want it repaired but our money back, and assumed under CPA 2015 that this was our right as was within just 4 days.(I thought we had 30)
He now says that it was a trade sale, dad did signed a receipt which said this, but he is not a car trader just a handyman!
We have now started small claims and today he has defended his claim reiterating that dad is a trader so that’s it.
I’m sure even though he has signed the receipt that is still wrong? Then I saw your post!!
Your experience would be gratefully received.
