    Well over £100!! Shock! Horror!! You’d think a £100 is a lot of money nowadays - these cretins must be living in 1975.

    I’m 100% with Arfur on this although I dare say before the judge there’d be a different interpretation. At the end of the day selling secondhand cars you can’t cover every eventuality & anyone worrying about selling 11 year old cars with non functioning a/c to punters should get another job. Common sense has to come into this game at some point & an arsehole corresponding about an old banger he bought four months ago and stating something along the lines of ‘everything should work’ should be treated exactly as he is - an arsehole. He wouldn’t of even of got a response from me.

    Section 9(4)b is indelibly imprinted in my mind because it is a specific exclusion? it’s intent is to protect the seller. Every dealer should understand it’s importance. Now, in the above case it is pertinent because the buyer is insisting the fault was there at the point of sale..... Just my thoughts and opinion....

    I regularly offer my advice, same as me asking my plumber or builder mate for advice in their trade. I make it clear, it is not fool proof but I can spot when a car is just wrong, whereas the untrained eye doesn't notice panel gaps, overspray, orange peel, dash lights, no. Owners, service history BS.

    I believe the scheme has nothing to do with vendors, it is simply an add-on by Manheim. Any ‘failure’ checks are simply thrown in the bin BUT what their definition of a failure is open to debate. A few weeks ago I saw a SilverAssured (not worth a toss) car with 32 out of 37 - a sad joke that some poor mug will of had no choice other than to pay for. Personally I think the ‘inspections’ are an insult to a proper trader’s intelligence, charging me for an unwanted substandard check performed by morons who often couldn’t assess a lump of coal. As for charging for checks with less than a 100% pass is verging on criminality in my opinion - not that most of the checks are any good. I mean, what’s this static test of 1st & reverse gear??? Barely worth a toss & a slipping clutch as you pull out onto the main road or missing gear won’t be covered.
