Road worth approved on non road worthy car?

Hi guys,

I bought a Forester XT last week. The previous owner had a Road Worthy certificate done by Subaru Service centre while having lots of other things replaced. Such as windshield, suspension bushes etc...

However, after driving it for a week and doing night driving for the first time, i found out that one of the headlights were fogging up with moisture built up inside, which i guess must have failed the lowbeam. Luckily the otherside works.

I found it would cost upwards of $400 to get the headlight replaced. As i dont have that amount of cash lying around... Is it Subaru's fault that this had been over looked?

Please any advice appreciated. Should i be covered in by the "laws of roadworthness"?

Thanks
Simon

Its your fault for not checking when you purchased the car.
Not being a dick. That just how private sales are like.

Thanks,

Caveat emptor

call up fairtrade, ask what you can do

yh c wat dey say about it

the roadworthy condition is their responsibility, however be careful as to what determines or is required with a roadworthy. Also, if there is a foggy headlight and even if it IS covered under roadworthy, they wont dish out $400 to fix it, at best they will polish it to a loosely acceptable condition.

can you do it yourself and save yourself the headache?

For $200 bucks you could send me the headlight, ill cut and polish it and clear coat it and mail it back. Good deal? :)

Guys, by "fogging with moisture", OP means condensation not UV damage. I doubt an RWC would include a wet weather vehicle check

Dont listen to Curtis, Ill even throw in new set of bulbs to sweeten deal.


I get moist talking about cars, only can feel for your headlight- which is a part of your car. Hmmm creamy.
