It wasn't a planned thing .....he got bored one afternoon and decided to get the grinder out! Someone's got to be different lol I believe the target is 6 months to get it finished.

Exactly my point... LESS COMEBACK.. not NO COMEBACK as you were stating. Its not about the buyer checking over the condition of the car. If the car has been sold in good faith with a genuine 44k on the clock as advertised then no law has been broken. The vehicle was as described and it would...

Jimmybs sorry to hijack the thread! All the best with the car mate.

lol is that the best you can come up with. I expect you're the type that thinks that if you walk into a shop and they have priced something wrong you can demand to have it at that price ..... its also total b*** ****! Offer + Acceptance = legally binding contract 'Invitation to Treat' means...

Totally Agree .... i mean 5.5k isn't something i would just throw away. Worth fighting for IMO

If he has the original advert in which it states that the car only had 40,000 (or how ever many miles it was) he does have a leg to stand on. It will be the sellers responsibility to prove that his advert was valid. If its legit then he should just be able to show that things like... MOT...

LMAO learn to read! As from the AA webiste you've just quoted The only legal terms that cover a private sale contract are: the seller must have the right to sell the car the vehicle should not be misrepresented it should match its description: for example, if the ad states that there is a...

Clearly you don't have a clue :S The sale of goods act covers both business and private sales! Private sales are harder to contest as there will be less of a paper trail to support the false pretenses. I've just spoken with my director, a qualified lawyer who works in London and graduated...

Here you go a prime example.... http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/vehicle-retailers-manufacturers/23827-sale-goods-act-buying.html

whoever says 'Sold as Seen' = no comeback is totally incorrect. 'Sale of Goods Act' states that the item must be as described and fit for the purpose its intended. You purchased a car that wasn't as described in the advert and definitely wasn't fit for the purpose as you are now having to...

The key word is MOT 'TEST'. You should get a pass or fail. Its not a repair and replace any parts they feel like... that should be advised and checked with you first. I would give your local trading standards office a quick call, i'm sure they will say the same.

The only comeback you have is fact that the garage carried out the work without your consent.... which they cannot do! If you really don't want to fork out the cash its simple..... tell them you didn't authorise the work, make them put the old parts back on, do it yourself or go elsewhere...

Thats just boring! As said above if you have the money, time and patience anything can be done.
