Removed my post. It's a waist in this thread. OP you got advice and suggestions. Go finish crying and then make a wise decision.

You went for a bargain those dodgy dealers sell cars at a low price and low mileage ask yourself why.
There is no cool off period for anything but forced marketing.That's painful OP.
Shouldn't there be some sort of a cool off period when it comes to vehicle purchases
You clearly want to make friends quickly.
I'm well versed with the CPA and quite often I can tell you it doesn't univerally apply the same to vehicles.
Also I say again a repair doesn't equal an accident. Especially in your case where it doesn't sound like there is any structural concern.
You are the one contradicting yourself saying it'd unsafe one moment and just cosmetic the next.
So when you've made up your mind and stopped wasting OUR time which you are the one begging for then maybe you'll get the appropriate help.
I doubt it though since it seems even with multiple answers you don't like what you hear and therefore choose to ignore it.

Otherwise the retail industry would die a quick death.
What people often fail to understand is that the CPA helps both the consumer and the retailers.
It's not a magical one way street.
Eh?
Post # 70:
"A refund should not take a company 2 months to do when a car was bought less than a month... There's no such thing. Maybe you've never been conned before that's why you don't know. It's called buying time... how do they blow 75k in less than 2 weeks? How??? And in the beginning BEFORE the car was bought they were dishonest when it was asked if the car was in a accident and they said no It wasn't and covered it by saying it's a repossessed car... like which part of the Original post did you not understand? Cause I made everything clear in the beginning and I wanted to resort another measure as I refuse to wait that long for money..."
Okay come back again after your CPA case went nowhere and tell me how that worked out for you.You just fail to understand what I said... oh you feel like I'm wasting your time why are you still commenting?? You clearly claim to know CPA but you dont. The only one it doesn't apply to is to private sales idiot. Go do your homework again before you wanna tell me...
Just sit down
In before OP says he doesn't have insurance...Whichever route you go this isn't going to be a quick process.
Although laws are in place that are meant to protect consumers, enforcement can be expensive and time consuming.
File a report with the ombudsman and consumer commission. Not sure what the official names are but you get the just.
Regarding Freeman motors. I've been looking at a lot of online ads as I'm looking for a new car for my wife. I came across a few of their ads and immediately marked them as dodgy in my mind.
Mechanically a Jazz is a solid vehicle that will give you long service. Assuming the accident didn't damage the motor or chassis, the car will serve you well.
Yes it sucks and isn't right that the repair wasn't disclosed. In the event that you have to keep the car for a year or 2, it's a solid car.
If you don't end up getting some recourse for the sale, maybe save for the repair and do it after a year or so. Selling now will put you in a loss position and then you won't be able to pursue the less than honest sale. After a year or 2 your outstanding balance should be close to the resale value.
A question. Was the car inspected by someone before being put on insurance? Most insurers require inspection before putting a car on cover. Did the inspector not pick up the bad repair. It's in their interest to pick it up as the damage won't be covered. If they didn't pick it up, drive the car into a wall softly and claim (please don't I'm just joking)
OopsIn before OP says he doesn't have insurance...
No please I would like you to point out under the CPA exactly which part applies to your case.I know that... I know... but go read it again

You are a very special snowflake to have such deep feelings about a car that reminds you of being deceived...which is yet to be proven.Look. You marked them as dodgy.. ok... I wanted to see for myself... unfortunately we not the same person and we don't think alike. Yes I made a mistake but I also got deceived as well. Therefore I don't want this car cause it's just a reminder of that... It's just better to get rid of it and start over. I already emailed the ombudsmen and speak out... I did most things people suggested however I can't let that car sit there for months while I wait and I refuse to drive it knowing what I know. I'd rather walk it take a taxi
It's only been two weeks and I haven't taken insurance. Once I get a new car I will. I don't wanna pay for something I hate.. please understand
Well tell the rest of these judging people to quit judging me and it will stop.. I'm over it already...
Sad that my fellow men can't even help.. but no harm done.. God will be the judge at the end... So keep it up
Nope I was on the money...... she. And I sincerely hope you're wrong.

No please I would like you to point out under the CPA exactly which part applies to your case.
More so which part applies specifically to vehicles.
The car would have been provided with a six month after market warranty if they were stressed about the CPA. Then you could claim from that to get a repair done if required.
But you don't want a repair. You want a full refund because you changed your mind...
