first thing would be to get it looked at, my old car had an oil leak too which I hadnt even noticed until I was selling it, much like yours it was an expensive car with low ks, when I actually looked to see where it was coming from I found out the oil filter had worked itself loose, took about 3 seconds to fix.

Your right!But this is not really what I was expecting - not helpful to my situation.Was more interested if I have any rights seen as I purchased it a month ago.

2005, purchasd from a yard only had a month, and it has an oil leak! TAKE IT BACK AND TALK TO THE DEALER youll probably find the yard will be quick to act and fix it it for you. that should have been your first stop.

The yard has it now, but they are fixing it under the mech insurance not because they think its wrong that it happened after a month. I kinda feel like ive been sold a lemon for 20,000 bucks. I upgraded to get away from a Lemon car!Normal sale too btw.

Did the leak start after you had had it a month! The poor old yard can't even predict what might happen a day after it leaves the yard. That's why used vehicle yards no longer have to offer a free warranty under the law.

Dont get me wrong Im happy its getting sorted but when I brought the car I said I wanted a car that wont play up like the last one I had (that they sold me). just feel a bit ripped off really.Do they have to fix it them selves within a certain time frame of buying it!I was told two months from a friend.

As far as I know, most used cars have a 'concrete' warranty. As soon as they're off the concrete. 30 days is usually about the limit if any real warranty applies. The only oil leaks I can see being major is a rear main (having to remove the gearbox) or one at the front of the motor (putting the cambelt at risk). Where is it leaking from!

You appear to have no understanding of either the Consumer Guarantees Act or thhe Fair Trading Act. Google and learn. This matter must be rectified by the dealer (and it is.) This is a great example of why people should NOT purchase privately.

You haven't bought a lemon any more than anyone else ever has. Cars are just rubbish. All of them. Even the good ones.Enjoy!

Its obvious that you are unaware of the current market.I did my homework on the model and not even Turners were cheaper.

Basically most of them! Mazda 6's/Atenzas with low kms and Mazda 3 SP23's with low kms will be in the $20k region. The CX-7 wasn't out in 2005.
