From my own experience with my "saga" a little while ago, the FSA made the following statement to me "Because the Finance on your vehicle exceeds £25,000 it falls outside of our control,as such you should pursue the matter through your Solicitor against your Finance company and the Manufacturer" Incidently it took the FSA 3 months to give me this statement,after corresponding with me on numerous occassions passing it down through their departments !
Sale of Goods act still "Protects" the purchaser but the Court "path" takes you down a much more complicated route because of the larger financial claim. I`m not an expert just speaking from 18 months of "experience".
