You would be able to claim for a reduction of the purchase price, which would be the difference between what you bought it for and the price that you would have bought it for if you knew it was a 2006 model. Should the dealership not accede to your claim or you cannot reach any other alternative settlement, you have two options:1. You can refer the matter to the Motor Industry Ombudsman at www.miosa.co.za, which is an inexpensive/free service.2. If they cannot assist or they cannot assist satisfactory, then you can sue the dealership for the difference as explained above.
