I unknowingly bought a damaged used car from a dealer. What are my rights?
I bought a used car from a dealer one week ago and it's come to light that the vehicle has been in a crash and repaired poorly. The rear nearside door and rear quarter panel, plus the bonnet, has been resprayed badly. What are my rights?
