    Here's a question for those demanding a refund/new car.

    If you buy a project home, in a new estate, and there was, say, incorrect sealing in the bathroom, as does happen, which causes damage and needs repair because of leaking through wiring, would you demand a brand new house? Or would you let the builder repair the damage?

    A warranty does not equal I get a new one if something doesn't work. It means that the manufacturer has to rectify the issue.
    Audi S3. Sold
    Golf R. Sold
    Citroen DS3 Dsport. Sold
    2016 Skoda Octavia RS Wagon.

    ... and you can't move in that house for the next 2 years (relative to house and car life) and You are paying mortgage (interest) - on that house , water rates, council rates and they are still not able to fix it ...

    and after You move in and if there is a problem... You have to move out rent other house why they are fixing yours without any compensation.......... but You are happy to do it.

    and not to mentioned that house value s going up and car value down.

    if You compare it You should take into account all relevant factors...

    well housing is very different to consumer goods in terms of warranty/ refunds/returns. they have completely different legislation and regulations that protect the buyer and seller.
    motor vehicles also differ to most consumer goods.
    dont get me wrong, this is a ****ty situation thats happening, no one ever wants a car that doesnt work properly especially when new, but its life and it happens, sometimes.
    an example, a guy i knew got rear-ended, had a audi rs4, some $60k worth of damage, insurance didnt write it off as the car was ~$170k brand new, plus the originalquote was about $40k but it blew out. insurance covered it. the point is, the car was off the road for almost 7 weeks as parts had to be flown in from germany and what not. thats almost 2 months that he didnt use the car, plus he only got rental for 2weeks, and he paid lease of about $1700 a month, pretty ****ty
