ive seen this trick played before when a dodgy dealer sells a poor quality car. Its a way to stop the customer coming back to them to get repairs fixed free of charge!

Yep , still mine, got a couple more calls off him, one saying that he would send the boys round! w%^ker !!, seems like he has given up, thanks again

 

Hi poochunks, its been two weeks since the dealer tried to bully you into paying for the repairs.

Hope you stuck to your guns and said no .... you still got your van ?

hey u wana part exchange

sold as seen, comes to mind

No problem --- Can you move me some gardening rubbish in your new van ?  : - )

Please stick around though, not only is this forum a great place to get help, we each and all need some sort of help of our own, at times.

thank you all , hopefully i can be of some help to you guys in the future :-)

Be strong, poochunks.

All points I was going to make already have been made but just want to give more moral support. The dealer has had opportunity to appraise the car and it is up to him if a fault has arisen after the exchange.

It's not like you have misdescribed it in terms of mileage or ABI condition (been in a crash and that).

You are the registered keeper of the van. It's yours.

Let us know if anything develops, I hate rogue traders giving us honest traders a bad name.

Hmmmm.

I would be also inclined to say that the deal is done, unless he could somehow claim that you have misrepresented the state of the car to him, in which case, there might be some sort of payback open to him.  But I am pretty sure only a court could decide that.  I imagine that there is some specific law pertaining to the sale of vehicles, but I have never come across it and do not actually know for certainw hat the answer to your query might be.

Stand your ground, I reckon.

this is what i expected, he is just trying it on, thanks , would be greatful if anyone else can confirm this, i am seeking legal advice too

 

The deal has been done, unless you sold the car with a warranty then he has no legal comebacks on you at all, he had a chance to fully inspect your car before the deal or take the gamble, and he has no redress on you whatsoever now the deal has been done.

If he tries to take the van it is a criminal offence, in which you can call the Police.

 

hi, i have just part exchanged my car for a van, i have the
registration doc of the van and the dealer has signed it over to me,
HOWEVER! he has now rung me because my old car has developed a
fault(leaky rad, water pump gone) and is now demanding i pay £300
towards repair of my old car, he says if i dont pay it he will drop my
car back and take the van away! he says he can undo the deal? is this
possible
