Hi all Thank you for your feedback & replies Car had 5 months MOT, no mention of rust on MOT ,I personally checked the car underneath on the ramp when came in stock usual corrosion like every 2007 Audi A4 have. buyer just came up with the figure of £1500 in his dreams & send me a message 5:00 in the Morning then that price gone down to £790 in few hours. yes I should have given him fresh MOT. lesson learnt for future. I was more then happy to take the car back With any mechanical problems straight away. But he was aggressive & trying to scam me. I was checking his previous emails when the auction starts he offered me £2100 for the car so I guess this was his way to get a discount!!

Hi All need your advise please, I sold the car on eBay auction i honestly advertise my car best of my knowledge & even mentioned dent on front wing. I also said to come drive & inspect the car before bidding or ask any questions. 13 year old car bound to have some cosmetic issues so I forgot to mentioned minor stone chip rust spots by the front wings but nothing major. guy won the car in auction & contacted me to pay the deposit which I said no it’s fine you can pay all when you come for collection & I’ll pick you up from train station, I went to pick the guy from station & gave him a car to drive I took him to my home address where I trade from & asked him to inspect the car before he set off. first he couldn’t see the dent I mentioned in the auction & he said oh this is minor then he saw the rust spots which he said my local paint shop will sort this out with the dent. He loved the car & filled the V5 & paid me cash & gone happy. Once he reached home he left a positive feedback saying “slight rust on both wings but not too bad good service” In the mean time I transferred the car on his name online, next morning around 5:00 in the morning I’m receiving message from him I don’t like the car I took it to my local garage he is asking £1500 for fix it, your car got extensive rust underneath I want my full refund. now I’m totally confused that who the hell charge £1500 for paint 2 wings & I know my cars the car don’t have any rust underneath. no idea which garage he gone to at night to get this quote, so I said No sorry no refund as you came to collect the car & saw the rust spots & it’s not extensive as you mentioning it. After that He was sending aggressive emails all day threatening me to take me to court & i am only an hour away from him, then he tried to send me another quote for £790 & asked me to pay some money towards the paint job. Now I was 100% sure the guy trying to scam me & want him to pay for the paint job. he sent me another email last Sunday that he is returning my car & he asked someone to leave the keys & books in the boot, if I’m not available. so I responded to that, the car is yours you are the legal owner of the car & I’m still waiting to hear from your solicitor, I will not take any responsibility if the car get damaged or clapped as it be on private property & I will let police know About this, as I’m not allowed to drive or touch your car. Since then I haven’t heard nothing from him & he didn’t drop the car off. Sorry for such a long story but my question is where do I stand on this as a trader? do I have any leg to stand on this & fight back if he takes me to court ? I want to be fair trader & that’s why i didn’t touch his money just in case I’m in the wrong. Thank you for your help & guidance
