That’s irrelevant, because if you went to court you would lose on the way you sold the car, an unchecked unroadworthy vehicle sold potentially denying the consumers right. The fact his case was struck out helps you, but the foundation to this is HOW you sold the car, everything else is irrelevant. There’s not a chance he will take you back to court. Write to him by RD stating the car must be returned by blah with keys and documents for a full inspection.

NO NO NO !! Do not mention refunds, just write exactly this :- The more you write to these c*nts the more cards you disclose which then they turn into ammo ................... "But you said" etc etc. Short and sweet !!

No, its far easier to plug a computer in that TELLS you how to fix it?

Local to you is newark auctions. But dont expect a fantastic return on it. Same concerns over a car with a 'trade to trade ' tag.

The guy is an idiot, trying to make up rules and laws as he pleases. The car is his and is his responsibility to tax and insure it while in his possession. Any damages caused would not be down to you but him or the garage who have the car at the moment. If the car gets impounded as he has failed to tax it that is down to him. I personally would take a firm stance with him and send him a recorded delivery letter stating that you want he car returned within 14 days for a full inspection. There will be no further correspondence or offers made until the inspection has been carried out. This is your legal right to do so, just like you cannot deny someone their consumer rights, they cannot deny yours. The law is there to protect both parties.

I wouldn’t even look at the private entry/local trader section. We all know they make f.a. money hemce we all know the only reason for the local traders to enter a car is cos it’s that shagged it’s beyond help.

Sounds like its been parked up for a while? Reset the light and take it for a good blast on local roads and dual carriageways. It might need a good run to clear the shit out of it lol And am talking a good 10 miles! The French shit does misfire I must say hence I stay away Alternatively it could be cheap / dodgy new parts that have gone in and this DOES happen especially from euro farts

I’ve read the full thread, you shock me. Did you ensure your unroadworthy vehicle was sold as unroadworthy and trailored away ? No..... did you fully inspect the car to ensure it was safe to be on the road.... no You are implying It’s sold “as is” you simply cannot do that to the consumer. Your actions reflect badly on all of us who understand our responsibilities. To sell unroadworthy you need to cover yourself. There’s no excuses.

Tony, any warranty given is in addition to your resonsibilities as a vehicle retailer. By saying, I give no warranty is misleading to a consumer. You simply cannot say no warranty offered as its very bad practice, to imply you are trying to disolve your responsibilities. You have fundamentally and bluntly screwed yourself.......................

Sadly agree with you, so many people want their 5 minutes of fame and do things like this in the hope they go viral.

Join up , Nothing to lose , Great People too , All friends and no Bull . Some good discounts on various Auto related services and products too . The IMDA was set up for the Right reasons by people who understand our industry and it shows with the services too .

They have helped a lot of dealers out with the classes they run on top of running their own businesses. Very nice bunch of car dealers both collectively and individually who al want the industry to prosper.

Just give them a donation.These guys have pitches to run aswell and they do IMDA for nothing.
