I thought it too, until a car dealership in Nottingham tried to finger my @nus for £15k, by stating the exact same thing.
Tempted to let anyone at £16k though... PM me.
Something like this?
"can you send pictures of that rear badge?"
<goes outside to take pics, copies to PC, sends to chap>
"thanks for the pic, I'll take that mate - defo, PM me your Paypal address"
<PM sent>
<fcuk all payment received in 2 years>
"sorry for the delay mate, my **** exploaded...
Confused.
So your reason for breaking it is purely on the fact you were the first owner (and only owner) and you don't want anyone else to own it?
SRS?
Thats not true.
The point is that the law gives 6 months protection - nothing can be 'the same' even at 5.9 months old. If the fault was only discovered after a few weeks before the expiration of the 6 month period (and the proof was that it was there to begin with) then the mileage would...
A "trade sale" implies that the customer is a trader with some knowledge of the car trade who is buying the car to re-sell. In reality this phrase is meaningless. It is not possible for two contracting parties to agree to avoid the effects of the consumer protection legislation (even if they...
Since I went through this in 2009 I didn't see this info from the cab.

According to them you don't have to accept a repair.
But... 2 minutes ago you were happy swapping an engine and concerned...
Lol, mace has a point though.
If the seller refuses to rectify your issues (must be on the proper terms under sales of goods act - follow them correctly) then no doubt you will be pursuing a liable case.
In which, you can claim damages. Parts may fall under that category.
I can't believe you...
Doesn't matter if it was a trade sale or not. That means nothing unless you are a trader or related business purchase - this guy is an average joe. It doesn't apply.
Sold as seen, trade sale, no warranty all means nothing to a normal punter. You are covered by law.
If you paid the £1500 on...
When this snow has turned to sludge, we should meet.
You aren't allowed to wash your car though (also mucky could mean not washing yourself - standard for noddy/Carl/garth).
I'd also be interested in hooning around a McDonald's car park with trays under my rear wheels and the handbrake applied.
You really need a plan before going down there.
IMO your end game is to give the car back and get a refund. Your stories of putting engines in make me cringe. You shouldn't have to do anything remotely close to this.
Get an independent inspection on the car (do not drive it). Inform the garage...
D) Just park it up - why make a decision now, it won't lose you anything. See if you miss driving it.
E) Sell your 182 and with whats left from buying your Mrs a car (WTF- get her to buy her own, Pics?) get a ph1 172 on the cheap for the Lolz.
You'll be back on here (in a few months) starting...
Done that. It would appear that the logic board is potentially the root of the problem. £100 punt on a replacement I think cross fingers and swap the boards to see if works - I don't like the sound of that.
