Tell me your stories or stories you've heard because my story is in the process and ticking me off.
 
Insist on having the car replaced. Dealers take chances but you can force them.

If the dealer refuses and your car is financed, there was a High Court judgement in the past few weeks which makes the finance company liable for a faulty car, You can now contact the finance company and tell them to sort out the problem. you can even give them the car and insist on a refund.
 
The car was paid upfront in cash and is going in for repair. For the 3rd time.
I agreed to the repair and they were polite about it but they said if this repair fails again they'll take it back in again.
And this is where my line will be drawn because now I'm getting upset and I think they are pushing the repair rather than the replacement or refund.

I've learnt to never buy a car close to Xmas because everything shuts down and you have to wait for parts.

Was not my experience with the ones I owned (by mistake). After many attempts to 'fix' it, I was told the car was 'supposed to be like that'. :X3:

Yes, all their customers are idiots in their eyes.....well, now I wonder, anyone byuing one is now an idiot in my eyes, but not all can be blamed for not knowing any better beforehand. Some okes even buy a second one, but if one has only knowledge of stale bread, they cannot know cake tastes nicer, so they keep buying stale bread.
