    Tbh I still don’t know anyone actively trading who advertises as such.

    Lucas does, with fair use restrictions:

    7 Days to Change Your Mind

    For face-to-face purchase, we give you 7 days to change your mind. If you don’t like it, simply bring it back within 7 days for a refund. It’s so easy.

    It’s important to know when you’re committing to buy from us, and the fair-use restrictions for our refund policy, which are below.

    • The option to change your mind and return the car ends after 7 days.
    • The vehicle transportation is the responsibility of the Buyer.
    • We will require the vehicle to be returned to our location in the same condition as when it was purchased. If the car requires cleaning or repair, then reasonable charges will apply.
    • If you decide to return the car, your refund will be adjusted by 45 pence per mile to reflect usage.
    • All return vehicles are subject to an Additional Administration Fee of £695.
    • You can put the refund towards purchasing another from us immediately of us getting the car back.
    • You should get a refund within 14 days of us getting the car back if you decide to get money back.

    Thanks Billy appreciate your help. There is no link to my district council for the grant, from the small list of 5 or 6 on that page. Assume mine are slow to act (would not surprise me! )and I will hear from them in due course. 

    Happy to try and help. Just to be clear though, those were just random examples from North Yorkshire to help with your search and to show what the applications look like, rather than a definitive list of links for all District Councils in England.

    What the hell does that have to do with recovering a Car to repair a minor fault !!

    My bad.  Page 38 (9.24):

    When a consumer is pursuing a repair or replacement remedy to a breach of CRA, a dealer must “bear any necessary costs incurred” in carrying out the remedy. This would include the cost of returning the vehicle to the garage. Note that the provision excluding the cost of returning a car to the garage in the event of rejection (see paragraph 9.18 above) does NOT apply where a repair or replacement is being sought. Instead the remedy must be supplied “free of charge”.

    I give up with this .................

    A draft consultation document lol, there are millions out there, mostly written by tree hugging cretins with a beef about all kinds of subjects, a draft consultation is not law, it is a representation of the views of the author !!

    True, it’s not the law but it’s from a website backed by Trading Standards and the Government and is intended to provide guidance to businesses and individuals around (in this caes) the interpretation of the CRA 2015.

    Hi Leo. Have you downloaded the ‘So you want to be a car trader’ guide from this site’s magazine? Ten quid well spent. 

    There used to be a banner ad for it, but you’ll find it by a quick search- or someone less technically inept may point it out. (Or it may be the bottle of Chianti I’ve somehow managed to consume on a school night....)

    I love this staff photo on the about page. Who knows what tech company or a university this was and the two cars in the background look photoshopped.

    More like a photo taken after a speed dating gathering . Almost 50/50 gender divide. With a prize of two new cars for the first couple who get hitched :-)) 

    FYI - It’s actually it’s an old team photo from an online European car auction site called CarsOnTheWeb. If you compare the background with the background in this video (at 24 secs) you’ll see they’re the same.

    HTH

    And yes, I’ve got way too much time on my hands :rolleyes:
