Christel, I suggest 2 actions:
1. Approach your financier for assistance. They may be able to put pressure on the Dealer.
2. Write a letter to the Dealership in which you state the facts (date purchased, what the sales person advised in response to your question, what has happened and then state the relevant law. Include the facts you discovered and for which you have records to prove about the car had R31k repairs done to it. State clearly that you demand they sort out the problem or that you will have no option but to take the matter further. But them be prepared to do exactly that.
Good luck.
