Dealers will tell you it is 3 months, but consumer protection for cars is in fact 6 months.
The easy bit is taking them to court and getting the judgement.
The difficult bit is doing anything with that judgement - most home traders will just ignore it, not worth the paper it's written on, you won't get the money, will just lose the court fees.
So afraid to say that you should treat any non-finance offering (if they offer fiance, they need FSA approval, court judgements would terminate such approval) home based trader as a private seller.
My personal rule is I don't even view a car with a trader that does not publish their address and a landline phone number
