bought a used car and it broke down

trixi2011

So I bought a golf last week and within a week of buying it the power steering started leaking. Brought it to a garage looking like 350/400 to fit a RECONDITIONED steering rack. Well should I try and get some money off the seller or just take it that it was bad luck and hope noting elce goes wrong. Was a private sale.

If it's a private sale, caveat emptor, nothing much you can do, unfortunately.

Caveat Emptor, better known as buyer beware.

You've no comeback unless you can prove the seller knew. Of course you can ring and explain the situation and ask for a refund but don't be surprised if they tell you to go away.

The mechanic that you brought with you to examine the car before you bought it, what did he say?

You could try Lucas stop leak in the rack if the leak is not too bad.
