ferguson_tom Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I was up all night thinking about this and was so mad the next morning wrote an email to him retracting my offer of knocking money off and delivering it. He hadnt responded to the email I sent him about knocking the money off. Anyway basically told him he takes a full refund or I will deliver the car with the faulty clutch as per the receipt (contract as he likes to put it) that I have got and keep the full money then it would be down to him to make a claim but he has ****** all rights when buying from a private seller and have more chance of urinating in the wind then getting anywhere with it. Told him i thought he was a bully trying it on with contacting the Which legal department and implying legal threats. I have asked for some advice and pretty certain worst case scenario is i get taken to small claims court but most they will say is he gets a full refund which I have already offered. Should have had me stood behind you while he tried it on Well if he doesn't accept the refund I will be paying him a visit to pay him the cash back, my witness for handing the money over will be my father in law who has a somewhat bank robber look about him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 The phrase they use in a small claims court is along the lines that "damages flow from a breach of contract" the same way that water flows from a breach in a dam. Sounds like you've acted in good faith so far and you were unable to fulfil your side of it due to circumstances that you say are beyond your control. People love to be utter bell-ends and threaten legal action and all sorts of other stuff they know nothing about. Why don't you speak to a lawyer if you know one, if only there was a real one here on PW, he would probably say listen to nothing you read on here and get some proper advice...

Spot on, the OP ought to remember he asked for legal advice not people to stand behind him in a face off ! Not saying the guy isn't a bell end as the sums are so small as to make arguing by him futile but in law he may well have a point. The fault was pre existing which you seem to have agreed to put right, that isn't the same as saying private buyers have no leg to stand on as we're discussing the sale itself.
