I hate my car

[The PIT]

What crap it is. The sunroof leaking and the rain pours into roof central console which houses the security system. So thats now stuffed although I maybe able to fix it so at the moment I've got no car.

Sell it during the summer

That's not much of a recommendation for us in the UK it's raining more now than it did during winter

[Dogbert]

Hmmm... Can't you take a ferry to Spain and sell it there ?

I would if the bank loan wasn't so high.
Ant last month was dry here so I could have sold it then.

It would be morally wrong to sell it to someone without them knowing about the leak...

I'll rise. What you do is sell the car to a dealer, 'sold as seen'. You just don't lie about it. A dealer is far better placed to sort out something like that than a poor individual.

bring on the flames....

Err... what kind of car is it?

Dare I ask?

I'll do what I always do when a dealer sells me a duff car. Sell it back to them. Unfortunatley the warrenty ran out well before the sunroof started leaking and doubt it would have covered it anyway. The car has spent a lot a time back at the garage under warrenty. Three days to change a clutch, they once lost the car and spent two days repairing another fault becuase they kept splitting the rubber seal.
It's likely I'll have to replace the sunroof anyway but I rather not spend £400 quid on what seems to be a design fault if what another dealership tells me is true. If they're right it's very likely the same problem will occur again.
No selling back wouldn't leave feeling guilty.

Crappy Renault.

[Gurm]

Mmmmm... Renault. I have no suggestions for you, sorry. But... sticking the dealer with it would NOT be morally wrong, after all they have already committed the sin of selling Renaults.
