Auction warranty - Alan
What rights do you have to return a car under an auction warranty. I havn't bought at auction for a quite a while. A few years ago I bought a smart looking car sold by a large main agent as all good with a warranty. On the test drive I found poor acceleration and top speed about 15 mph down, which I imagine the dealer had also noticed. I returned well within the time and asked to reject the car. After a brief look they said nothing wrong only needs a service. It turned out to be a burned out exhaust valve which I had to replace at my own expense.
What should I have done and how insistant should I be in similar circumstances. I am intending buying at auction in the near future but probably ex fleet rather than risk a trade in from a dodgy dealer.
