I think you've misunderstood the situation. How any of this of my fault I don't know.i sold a car, it turned out to be adudd, i'm within my rights not to give a refund. That's the end of it. The end.

That is your opinion, it seemed serious to me. A new tyre isn't serious, wishbone bushes and getting them fitted perhaps is. From what you guys are saying I should have peered into the future and seen what else was wrong with the car, and then put it all in the advertisement, as I have said I did not have the money at the time to even get the thing tested.

He can smack me in the mouth if he wants he'll just go straight back to Jail. The advice ebay's "care centre" gave me is that I shouldn't have anything to worry about, as given my knowledge of the car at the time of sale, I was honest. I was honest that, given my knowledge of the car at the time of sale, it would have gone through an mot with a small amount of work - I simply didn't have the capital to invest in getting it through the MOT, and luckily I was given my Grandads old car to use this year. He was a total mug for paying £550 for it, I'm happy to say that.

Sorry that was in reply to Buctootims citizen beuro quotation, the guy hasn't made an official complaint (to the police, or a small claims court, or even Ebay). Obviously he wants his money back and wont sign the document, that is obvious.

He came back with a list of faults and thats my fault how...? How many times do we have to go over this?

The guy at ATS looked it over when I went in about severe wheel wobble, he said it was the wishbone bushes that had faded, he showed me, he was right. That is all the trouble I knew about, I have a quote for getting the job done from ATS in Eastleigh. - in the MOT it came up that the drive shafts were bent and needed replacing - the fact that I didn't know about this is neither here nor their. The guy hasn't got a case against me, I know that for certain.

I think this is redundant given that he paid for the car getting on for 3 months ago, hes not made a complaint, he just wont sign the document.

£90 for the part is one thing but getting someone to fit them is quite another.

For the third time, for you and buctootim, and i'll shout so you can understand : AT THE TIME OF SALE I LISTED WHAT I KNEW TO BE WRONG WITH IT, I KNEW IT WOULD FAIL THE MOT FOR THESE THINGS. That is failed for MORE than the things I knew about is none of my concern - he bought it, he took the risk. It was sold as SPARES / easy fix, where is the lie there? I could fix a couple of wishbone bushes if I had a spare week and a Hanes manual, point is I didn't at the time - and that was the most serious thing I WAS AWARE OF at the time of sale.

No, what came up in his MOT of HIS car was more than I knew about, cant you get that through your THICK skull? I wouldn't lie to anybody, and I am annoyed you are painting me to the bad guy here. Girly maybe but a liar? No. @Scummer part of the deal was done outside of ebay, I had offers outside of ebay (from the saxo forum mentioned previously) of higher amounts, so the guy ended up paying £550.

Where did I lie to him? Its not a lie if I didn't have any knowledge of faults with the car beyond what I listed in the add, which was totally honest. Coming on here for advice and getting called a liar. Typical.

I agree I am partly to blame for this, I should have waited but circumstances forced my hand somewhat.

The ebay auction text is above, I copied it off of the Saxo forum I used to use, where the add was also placed. 2 years is a long time, and I didn't spend much on the car (being a student) to have it well kept. The wishbone bushes went walkabouts, and that, unknown to me, had all sorts of knock on affects on surrounding components - that is why the bloke wanted his money back. The car was sold SPARES AND REPAIRS - there is no coming back from that if you are then surprised when it fails the MOT. Here is the ebay link, turns out it was over 90 days ago, as you can see, it does not work: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=180704342574

Thanks for the advice guys. I will get the V5 sent off in the morning with a copy of the sell receipt from ebay and the receipt that I got the buyer to sign. I'll phone ahead to let them know of the sale as well. @holepuncture - I'd love to do that, you wouldn't believe how weird this guy was!

This is the text from the ebay add though, pulled it off of a thread on here! Car is in good cosmetic condition but needs work to get it on the road. Engine is in top condition as it has been extremely well looked after. The good: 1 year old brakes all round - Brembo disks and pads on the front Head Gasket / Cambelt (with tensioners) and Waterpump Change 1.5 years ago New alternator December 2010 New starter motor Spring 2010 New radiator and engine mounts summer 2009 Bodywork looks great for age MK II VTS wheels 5 months tax The Bad: Needs a new battery, the current one has been in the car since I bought it in 2009, and as such is now dead. (needs jump / bump starting at the moment) Front nearside tyre needs replacing Front wishbone bushes need replacing - At the moment there is a lot of steering wheel wobble at 50+ Mph, I have been quoted £90 to get this done (the bushes are nice and cheap.) With the above things sorted the car should get through an MOT. Selling due to being a student - need to run a car that is a little more economical (boring). Viewings welcome - Questions Welcome. Thanks for looking and Good Luck with the auction. (Car based Hampshire - Eastleigh - Number plate shown in pictures not for sale - will be replaced asap.)

No it was more than 60 days ago and I cant find it on ebay now :/ Seems they don't keep adds on as long as they used too after the hammer has fallen.

Ok will do, for some reason I thought they might side with numpty? Dunno why, just felt guilty after telling him he couldn't have his money back, he was daft if he thought he was getting a sound car but still...

Yea I got him to sign a crappy little thing I made in 20 seconds, it basically said "sold as seen on the following date..." and he was happy to sign that. I will go to the police if necessary, I'll let the guy know that is my plan, having been in prison already maybe that'll scare him into signing the V5C and avoid getting a knock on the door.

Will try to keep a long story short... I sold my old car on Ebay, after the MOT because I knew it would fail on some pretty serious stuff - still had 6 months tax. It was a 1998 Saxo VTS (little rocket ship) Advertised it as spares and repairs, listed all the things I KNEW to be wrong with it (had it looked over before I decided to sell it) - I said that the buyer could take it to pieces or fix it up, that was up to the buyer. It sold for £550, which I was happy with. The matey came and paid for it the same day, only problem was I didn't have the V5C due to a number plate change. He paid for it anyway and drove it away. The next day his "mate" MOT's it and its a total disaster, the matey wants his money back and is refusing to sign the V5C (which I now have) - even though the car was advertised as spares and repairs. This all took place at the end of August. What do you think my options are? I would go round to his and make him sign it but he threatened me down the phone saying things like "I've just got out of prison blah blah blah"... The bloke looked like a crack head or something. The tax will come up for renewal soon and the DVLA will come after ME because HE wont sign the V5C. I could just scrap it, but I don't know what the ****er is doing with the car?

This. We missed out last year, never thought we'd have a chance in the league above, but here we are, kicking ass. Besides, Norwich, Swansea and QPR don't appear to be having a 'rubbish' time.

Well I'll certainly be worrying a bit more about the visit of Blackpool next month!

Bad company 2? But yea, that does feel ****ing good!

That's 3 threads you've had a moan about it, and now you've started your own. Time of the month dear?

Why on earth would you give a flying F*CK what they think!?

Housemate went through the single player in less than 6 hours on normal difficulty. Daylight robbery? I spose you don't buy these games for the single player, but that is still utterly pathetic all the same.
