I'm not sure on the technicalities of the law there... I'm sure you have a local garagekeeper's act that governs these sorts of things.
Here's how I see it: they have every opportunity to check the car over themselves before they purchase it from you. Most dealerships even have a service department on the premises. Did you sign any full-disclosure documents stating the car was in perfect working order? Intermittant problems are unfortunate, but a fact of mechanical life. >So, two weeks ago, my car died while my wife was driving. The tow >truck guy started it up no problem. We brought it to the car repair >shop. They did a full check, and while they were able to reproduce a >problem once, they found -0- wrong with it. They did a transmission >check as well.
