Imperial Select nightmare

If these issues weren't disclosed to her

1. Disclosure

The dealer is obliged to disclose known faults to the car.
The dealer must list all reconditioning that the car has been exposed to.
The dealer must disclose the car’s first registration year and code statues.
The terms, “Voetstoets” and “As Is”, is no longer permitted.

The buyer must sign his/her awareness of the level of wear-and-tear.
3. Right to return the car

As the car buyer, you have the right to return the used bought car to the car seller within 6-months - only under particular conditions, excluding wear-and-tear.
The car buyer has the right to prove a legitimate defect or that the car was sold not for the purpose he/she bought it for.
The car buyer has the right to request a refund, repair or replacement. Keep note that there is a particular time frame and process of 3-months, for resolving these car disputes.

She tried to get what must have been a dozen cars over a couple months but because she didn't have credit history she kept getting rejected, or dealers who said they'd hold it for her ended it up selling it.

She could've opened up an edgars account over those couple of months to avoid exactly this. Hardly an excuse.

Forget the rust, the dashboard started failing in days, the ignition moved, the cars immobilizer stopped working. Those are not superficial things.
 
How much she paid for that car I know it's too late for she should have. But first generations Kia Picanto are going for R40k to R60k. Why would she go choose geely even if I'm desperate I would rather continue walking.
