But yeah, all the other stuff that has come with this tale of annoyance. Hmmmm.Anyone think I should question paying the 3k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

common47 Member 74 Member For: 14y 1m 7d Posted 23/04/15 11:04 AM Author Share Posted 23/04/15 11:04 AM Fair point. I have my car back already, am paying off the diff costs. Probably isn't worth the time trying to go to FairTrading or whatever.Anyway, wish me luck, driving the car into NSW tomorrow, so a 1000km round trip should be good for testing the car out...And expensive with the current fuel costs...

Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 7m 3d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 23/04/15 11:57 AM Share Posted 23/04/15 11:57 AM I think yeah you might have a claim for annoyance. But to even have a claim you'd first need to prove the inconvenience as fair trading will only try to make you 'whole' not give you a bonus cheque. So taxi receipts etc.But the fact that they did all that extra work without charging you a dime?Good luck if you think it's worth taking further.
