If it`s from a private sale then it is sold as seen, a car showroom has to give a warrenty.

It's in Spain from a dealer and she has a warranty, they say bring it back, bit awkward with no engine and 300 kms away, already paid breakdown truck home, they also say cheaper to scrap it as its a cheapy, but don't want to refund her. She wants to know what she can do.

Yeah real bad luck.

sometimes a legal letter can get them to move.

Re: car purchase and breakdown
To correct the mis-information about buying a car privately..........
Unless it's mentioned specifically in the sales invoice that the buyer takes full responsibility for faults (hidden or otherwise), the buyer has automatic protection in the event of problems.
From the dealer.......get the ball rolling with Hoja de Reclamaciones.
