What should I do next.. possibly a legal issue!?

I bought a used car from a dealer 3 months ago. Last monday it wouldnt start. Had the AA out who said it was an immobiliser fault and took it to the recommended garage. Everyday this week we have called them tryin to see if we could get the car back. On Tuesday we were infomred that it wasnt the immobilser it was something to do with the ignition... they saif they would fix it and get back to us. Wednesday they said it was a problem with the fuse board and it had to be replaced. Thursday we spent alday tryin to contact them but unfortunately we were unable to. Today its yet another problem.. apparently my car has corrided wires and maybe uneconmically repairable.
All week we have been informed from this garage which is a renault in hemel hempstead that the manager was away on holiday. I had, had enough so surfed net for answers. Finally got number of the manager who was absolutely disgusted... yet did nothing lol.
We first infomed the garage that we are on a low income and if the repairs should go over £500. we will not b able to pay them without starving our daughter... Like they would even understand.
Anyways its now Friday and the amount they want me to pay... bearing in mind my car still doesnt start is £700+.
I just this minute come off the phone to the garage who have stated that they cant diagnose what is exactly wrong with my car but he did say that it shouldnt have been sold to me in the first place as it is completely unroad worthy.
What can I do about this...
What are my rights have i lost all the money i paid for my car or is there something or someone i can contact or some road i can explore in sueing the company from where i bought it?
Im sitting here actually feeling relieved that it has been picked up otherwise it could have been more serious. we could have lost our lives.
Any info into what i can do about the garage ripping me off and the dealer would be very helpful.
Thank you for your time...

ooopsie its a 1999 Megan so its not that old.

I would say try trading standards for advice. Things you buy have to be in a use-able, reasonable condition. I would think they will tell you to get a report/diagnosis from another garage.I wouldn't let them start working on it till you know your rights.

Talk to trading standards. You may well find an argument of not fit for purpose helps. i do not know. trading standards first

1. It is a used car.

2. 3 months have passed.

3. Used cars are sold "AS-IS".

4. Legal recourse.."Nope".

5. You should have had the car checked out completely before you bought it.
