Hi, Briefly, I bought a car for my son three weeks ago (Peaugot 206 54 plate, 86000 mileage) from a local garage in Sunderland for £1200. 18 days later the cambelt snapped while he was driving on a motorway. Paid £180.00 breakdown charge to return it to his residence in Manchester. Contacted the garage dealer and explained above. Garage owner says he will repair the car very cheaply but will not pay for transportation from Manchester to Sunderland and I will have to pay the cost of parts to repair, saying this is the best he can do. He tells me the cambelt could 'go anytime' and this wasn't mentioned at the time of purchase. What are my rights and choices if any for transport costs and repair. My son is distrought please help!
