Don't you just love cars....... At least its happened to you and not a customer....

I like a bit of gammon with hirsuit honey..... enough

Unroadworthy is the crux. Brutal advert, brutal video, brutal invoice. Don’t hint on anything it isn’t

No. Stand your ground, he's already had one case dismissed, he hasn't got the bottle, he's all bottle. Just stay proffessional and call his bluff, let him know you aren't a walkover. You need to learn from this. He's fecking you around, not you messin with him. I'd like to see some blunt BHM opinon on this. Call his bluff, youv'e done your best and he's unreasonable. Now, as we have previously said, cut all correspeonded apart from RD. Tell him to return it or do his worst see you in court ! EDIT BUTTON !!

I'll take a drink from any bush.....

Agreed. I took a C5 in PX this year which I sold to a Judge as a dog car, I ended up paying just under 3k for a fault (two seperate repairs) which were both ehum....(present at the point of sale)........ Well and truely bent over was I....... but he left a glowing review..... Pick your battles

Whenever I hear “Black bush” it makes me giggle .......

What a cretin..... these billies need qualifying, otherwise you are just opening your arms to the pond life....

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.

I’m helping you. I’m telling you the truth. Get your paperwork right, sell your cars right and cover your ass. Youve attractred a twat because you’ve left yourself vulnerable. You should know your responsibilities and liabilities. You say you’ve been in the trade for 10 years.........

You let an uninspected car on the road as a Retailer? What checks did you do to ensure the car was safe and roadworthy? Too add, as soon as you say no warranty you lose. Unless the car is sold as unroadworthy and trailored away.

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.......................

You are digging yourself a grave, did you advertsie it with a current MOT ? Or did you describe it as unroadworthy, sell it on an unroadworthy invoice and ensure the vehicle was trailored away ?? This is all very muddy......

It all smells very rotten to me. He purchased the car knowing full well it required repair and was faulty.

Unless it’s absolutely scrap I’ll sell it myself. Easy money in the bangers. Try a brutal eBay advert.

You can't charge for mileage in the first 30 days. Failed repair = full refund by the method they paid. In future, always state the repair is kept open and may reappear due to further required diagnosis, it will then still constitute the first repair. An SRS is a safety issue, therefore you don't have a leg to stand on. But, you can fully argue the fault wasn't there at the point of sale, its just wear n tear. In my book, always repair inside 30 days. Outside, thats a different story.

David, it would have fooled me aswell. I hope you get your money back mate, its made me realise that I am vulnerable, so thanks for posting...... S

Correct

Used £24 delivered eBay.

Yeah agreed...... anything S Line or black edition.....find me a cubicle types, come back all red faced wiping off the catalogue....

You see I would normally agree, but haven't all the old school BMW buyers moved to Audi's and the old school Audi buyers moved to BMW ?
