That reminds me, my eBay account manager said that you can only have best offer enabled when you place a standard buy it now advert or in other words, not a classified. So do you use buy it now adverts?

You’re half right but it’s not that simple. Can you prove the fault was not present at the point of sale? If so, the consumer can’t ask for a refund BUT you have to provide a repair as it’s unreasonable to sell a £9k car and for it to go pop in 3 months. You can’t just shrug your shoulders and say “well that’s just bad luck” i’m afraid. Up to the 6 month period you are liable for at least a repair, excluding wear and tear

Still see them in adverts a quite a lot.

I would not just ignore him. You don't know he is a scam artist. Some of these people are so misinformed about buying a car its unreal. They read a car buying guide from honest john and just end up getting ignored at 90% of places they contact. Let him know it has a history, dates and mileages along with a current MOT and suggest he gives you a ring to discuss further. Anyone asking these sort of questions does not display actual typical buyer behaviour but it is what it is.

Maybe try and help her out with a garage recommendation? whereabouts is she? if she is near to one of us, we could suggest a garage that wont rip you off

The clear HPI report would be what you need. I think you say that it was clear when you checked it in 2016, and that now it shows that it was clocked in 2012? And have you sold it to a trader or to a private individual as a 'trade sale'? TS may just want to go through the trail, they may want to do more. But, having had a visit from them a few years ago, the picture they build up of you during your chat is likely to influence your future dealings with them. So get all the advertised mileages on your forecourt up to date, don't advertise something with 50000 miles if its done 50551. they want accuracy. And get all your paperwork in order so they can see all your cars advertised have current MOT's. Dont advertise with full service history unless theres a stamp there for every year (unless the manufacturer says differently)I'd also suggest a quick check that they all start and no bulbs have blown. If thy think that your cars which are currently available for sale are all good, they will look at you far more positively and listen to your side of the story.

Your agreement needs to be fair so that you aren't "CRA" screwed if there are problems. I'm not sure if Lawgistics do an invoice for selling of "third party" vehicles.... You really need to know the legalities.
