In the UK: is it possible to return a car even though more than 3 years has passed?

It depends. My dad has a Peugeot and has had constant problems with it, it has been backwards and forwards to the main Dealer and when the car was a year old it went back to Peugeot and they replaced it for a new one.\n\nThis has not solved the issues and the new one is back and forth the same.\n\nMy advice to you is: 3 years is a bit long, what will you do if you return it you will NOT get a refund maybe a replacement which suffers the same gremlins.\n\nI would sell it in Part Exchange at a Dealer and not privately because then if it is sold on with problems the issue is not with you its with them.\n\nGood luck.

1)  The simple answer is no.  That's not strictly true as it is possible to claim VAT back if the car is bought solely for business use.  This criterion is quite strict.  It usually means that it must only be insured for business use and you will have to convince HMRC that it is not used for any private mileage.  The only businesses I know that claim this are vehicle leasing companies and private chauffeur hire companies.\n\n2)  Yes, capital allowances are available but note that unless the car qualifies as in (1) then first year allowance will not be available.  You just get the 25% writing down allowance subject to the overriding maximum.  As already mentioned you must reduce the claim by the proportion of private miles to total miles.

You can't claim it in a different year than the one in which it was paid or accrued, but you can file amended returns for those prior years to claim a refund of the tax that the deduction would have saved.  However, an amended return must generally be filed within 3 years of the due date of the original return, which means that you may only be able to claim a refund for the interest attributable to the years 2003-2005.\n\nConsult a tax advisor for advice that takes your specific circumstances into account.

If you choose to finance another car you will need to get permission from your trustee.  If you dont and he/she finds out about it, your case can be discharged.  You may try going to a buy here/pay here place.  They wont run your credit but the interest will be high.  Sometimes they have decent cars but get ready to pay a high monthly payment.

"well the agreement that was given dose say "as is" and that keven would help fix anything wrong with the car up to 90 days"\n\nThat answers the question for you. There was an agreement that stated "as is" ... no, you couldn't get the money back and you wouldn't win in small claims court.

There is a limit for claiming back a civil debt - I think it's 6 or 7 years. If no demand for payment has been made or the person has not admitted liability.\nCheck with CAB or Debt Counselling service. It's under the limitations rule

Yes it is legal.  What typically happens is that you are still on the books for the full purchase of the loan.  If they repo the car, they auction it off and then try to collect on the difference.  The only recourse that you might have is if the auction price was considerably less than the fair market value.  You might be able to do something there.  Other wise, sorry to say..You are stuck.

The only thing you can do is keep it. Try to keep the mileage low and hopefully you might break even one year. \n\nThis is exactly why I will never buy a new car. I always buy a car that is 3 or 4 years old with low mileage.

yes. there's a federal statute that allows them to only go 3 years back. i do taxes for a living for the state and i've seen many people amend them further back, and have refunds, but they don't get the money. if i were you i would check with a lawyer to see what can be done.

3 years. However in reality they will only go back 18 months unless there is fraud involved when there is no time limit

Really complex area - some boffins spend all their lives looking into this.\n\nThe abbreviated answer is:\n* Yes, definitely if the property is less than three years old\n* Maybe if the property is more than three years old\n\nTechnically if a property is more than three years old it is exempt from VAT but the seller can waive this exemption (known as 'opting to tax') if they wish.  This will mean 17.5% VAT is charged on the sale (which the seller doesn't get to keep).  The reason the seller might do this is becuase if they sell a building and charge VAT they're allowed to reclaim VAT on any related costs (such as legal fees).\n\nOnce a building is 'opted' you can't change that status even if it changes hands. Therefore the next time its sold on VAT would have to be charged on the sale.\n\nThese rules only apply to commercial property - not residential.\n\nTrust me - get an accountant/tax adviser to assist - really complex area.

I claimed through Ebay for an item I bought (was sent a broken item and buyer refused to accept it back long story that got quite nasty!) Use The Dispute Console for all correspondence so that they can see what is being said. it  took 8 months but I got back all but £50 of my money.\n\nGood Luck!

not gonna happen.  The service  like carfax is one that dealers have had to pay for for years.  It became popular with the consumers with the advent of the internet.  Its not an expensive service, considering the price of buying a lemon so just suck it up and pay the price for the vehicle history, its worth it.

I have read that it is better to buy one in 2006, but there are a maximum number of cars per make and model that will receive the credit.  Too late for me as I already bought mine.

If you know that the car is reliable and in good condition, and that you are not ripping your family member off, yes, you definately should.  I bought a car from a close family friend 2 years ago, thinking that I could trust them, and it just broke down again today for the 5th time.  And I am suppose to be leaving on holidays with it tomorrow.....little bummed out that I can't go...but even more pissed off that they screwed me on the car.

Just pay the fine and accept the 3 points...\nit's just not worth the hassle....\nbesides if, in 19 years, you have never had points given to you....you won't risk losing your licence any time soon and after 4 years those points will be erased...
