Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I bought a car from a seller 10 days ago. They texted me on WhatsApp saying that the car was in good condition and didn't require any work. They only mentioned a minor accident. However, I cannot drive the car now because the number plate was canceled during the vehicle transfer process. When I asked about the vehicle's slow acceleration, they told me these cars are usually like that. Ten days after the name transfer, I noticed a coolant leak and went to a repair shop. The repair shop informed me of a mix-up between the coolant and the transmission oil. They advised me to take the car to a service center. However, when I went there, they informed me that they had given a quotation of 47,000 AED in December for the same issue but it was not attended to. Due to this issue, I have held the cheque from the bank to the seller and asked them to take the car back. However, they are not taking responsibility and are asking me to release the amount from the bank and get the repairs done from outside.

Q: Hi This is related to a used car purchase. I have given an advance for a used car through the bank & the car failed in RTA passing. The seller says he will do repair & pass RTA. I said I don't want the car and to return the advance. Now he is refusing to pay back the money. How can I return back the money? I have all Whatsapp chats with the seller.

Q: Dear Sir, I have purchased a second-hand vehicle on loan. The car is giving too many troubles and I cannot bear the expenses of it. I do not want to continue with this car. Is there any way the bank can take my car back and leave me without paying any EMIs?
