@kestral oh god :S do you know what could have broke? (/ what were the symptoms)
-
@spacekookie Console lights flashing and glitching, engine juddering and shaking, somtimes it gets stuck accelerating, sometimes it won't respond when you put your foot down.
-
@kestral oh god that sounds complicated fingers crossed they can idk figure out what it is? Or you get your money back? Or something
-
@spacekookie I've asked if I can just return it for my money back - I'll lose the cost of the new tyres I put on it but that's better than having a broken car??
-
@kestral I suppose you can't take the tires with you?
But ooof >_> yeah maybe it would be better. Otherwise, I would expect them having to fix the car on their dime? I don't know how warranty works on cars though, especially if it's used (I assume it's used) -
@spacekookie I'm also afraid the car might have ligma
-
@kestral Geeze. That’s no time at all.
-
@misty indeed, and the dealer is being very shitty with me.
-
@kestral You have the absolute right to reject the car, but only up to 31 days after sale.
Absolutely do that. Take it back tomorrow, hand over the keys and get proof that you did so.
If they won't refund you then sue them.
But absolutely reject the car, do it right away and make it clear what the issues are and have proof of them.
-
@kestral I speak from unfortunate experience, and I cannot stress how important it is to hand it back and walk away
The worst mistake I made was not doing that.
-
@hugh I hit 31 days on Wednesday, that’s why I wanted to email them about it today (Monday) which I did. But they’re saying I have no right and have rejected the evidence I sent them.
-
@hugh I’m just not strong enough for this right now and I can’t handle all this confrontation. And I’m scared I’ll end up stuck with a car that doesn’t work and I spent literally all i had on it
