At the end of the day the comments we have all given are our own opinions or based on experiences .... I don't think any of us are solicitors and so you should really seek legal advice to be sure of your situation

Ah the words of wisdom from mummy

[sambo]

Here's my contribution to this thread...

 

 

What a King knob head!! Does he seriously expect you to pay up??? You buy a car privately, you test drive it and your responsible for it as soon as you hand the cash over. Full stop. Now if he had only got 10 yardds down the road, i could see maybe where he is coming from but he drove 20 miles!

Anyway, what is the specific fault? he said the drive shaft broke!?

 

fooking knob.

[Doc]

next one . he can phone my number i court and ill answer that phone is registered to me plus the call times i got proof via nhs that i was in a class at that time . or am i just worring .

 

 

 

 

trust me your not getting away with this, im being nice about this now i have had the car in to a garage today and they have told me the car isn't road worthy hense why i'll be taking legal action ive only asked you for the recovery costs if i take action against you it will be for the repair bill as well im being more than resonable about this only asking you to pay the recovery costs and you say it will cost me more getting a solicitor it wont because with the garage backing me up that the car isn't road worthy and me taking it to small claims court you haven't got a leg to stand on (as the loser pays costs as well), as well as me being able to show you were deceptive about the deal giving wrong phone number details on more than one document. as ive said im only asking for the recovery costs if you want me to go for the whole lot thats fine by me.

Mate the car was sold in good faith and in laws eyes its caveat emptor which means ....let the buyer beware . He has no comeback on you for the recovery as he could have hit a kerb driving home and wrecked the driveshaft how would you know . If it had an MOT its roadworthy and if it was a recent MOT then his argument is with the MOT station . If it ends up in small claims court ill pop down with you mate .

Itll cost him more than its worth to do it so if he gets a report on the vehicle tell him that you have a specialist that wishes to inspect the vehicle for your legal team and that it will need to be transported at his cost to a location far anough to make it unviable

 

Im a dab hand at this legal malarkey

 

Ignore him theres nothing he can do .

[Burns]

just tell him that the car doesn't have driveshafts, job done

[beedz]

my thoughts (other than he's just a nob trying to rip you off) for what it's worth, just reply with:

 

 

i have taken advice regarding this matter, and have a number of points and quetions to clarify prior to proceeding further:

 

 

the vehicle does not have driveshafts

 

the vehicle does have halfshafts, if these are the item under discussion please confirm (it is worth noting that should these have failed the vehicle would simply have lost drive, and would not have resulted in a dangerous loss of steering or braking).

 

you state you have already had the vehicle repaired, please provide

copies of the billing details and documentary evidence of the failed items.

 

you state the AA recovered the vehicle and this resulted in a bill of 311, please provide a copy of the billing details along with the technician's inspection notes.

 

you state that you have been informed that the vehicle was not roadworthy, please provide the details of the independent inspection facility, and a copy of the report.

 

 

I am sure you will agree that these are entirely reasonable requests, and I look forward to an agreeable conclusion for both parties.

 

 

 

hope it helps mate

[OllieC]

i'm sorry you have to put up with this nonsense ken

 

i'm certainly gonna write a receipt out for any cars i sell in the future

 

best of luck mate, i'm sure you wont end up out of pocket for it

[Duke3s]

Sorry to hear about the hassel Ken

This guy sounds like a right weapon!

 

Dave

[xpackken]

NEXT ONE IS HE SERIOUS GUYS OR SHOULD I FOOK HIM OFF PISSIN ME OFF NOW .

 

i hope you have been to a solicitor and i hope that you have kept all these emails as i have been nothing but genuine and none of these emails have been sent with malice and i have not called your character once where as your last email can give me cause to sue you for defermation of character as i have never done anyone in my life, how am i a scammer when i was sold a unroadworthy car that i could of killed myself in.

my solicitor will also be arranging for the car to be inspected for ourselfs in a local garage so the car will need to be available upon reqeust . .

 

 

I am sure you will agree that these are entirely reasonable requests, and I look forward to an agreeable conclusion for both parties.

ive had my car over 2 years now

 

but when i bought it , towing it down the A1 , 2 mins ... 1/2 mile down the road i was having doubts , did i do the right thing

 

it was too late in my eyes , id bought and was stuck with the bloody thing

 

 

the guy your dealing with is a whinger that victor meldrew would be proud of

[over_head_cam]

Every car I buy seems to have a fault that develops shortly after I get it. It's my car - my problem

[Copey]

exactly!! when i got my car on the way home it was really odd, just put it down to me not bein used to it, got it to a ton on the motorway still tho, got it home took it for a service, only runnin on 3 cylinders...LOL a ton on 3 cylinders!! gotta love it!!

 

some people dont realy get private sales do they, if they want a warrenty, go to a dealership!!

 

good responce tho Ken, very well worded, hope thats the end of it and hope he doesnt try to mess you about anymore!!

[Vista]

Good reply, but what happens if he calls your bluff and produces everything you've asked for?

 

I think you need to be sure of your position as even if he hasn't a leg to stand on, he could become a right royal pain for you.
