gaz Posted 3 November, 2011 Share Posted 3 November, 2011 Moral of the story? Don't pretend to be a mechanic. If you're gonna flog it, get a proper pre-MOT inspection done. Oh and don't sell it without the V5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpbury Posted 4 November, 2011 Share Posted 4 November, 2011 I bought a Ford Escort once with a MOT 4 weeks old. Took it to a local garage (Eagles in Croydon for what it's worth) for a service and was told it was a deathtrap as the brakes were shot. Who did the MOT? Eagles. They gave some clap trap that the seller had switched the shoes and discs after the MOT - who knows. The bloke who sold it to me was probably like Saint_Jonny - basically looking for a mug. I just took it on the chin - the car was our first 'family' car but died about 18 months later (and I paid 1100 for it 12 years ago). So, I was a mug and the d1ck who sold it to me was a d1ck. I didn't choose to threaten to smack him in the mouth however. But should the opportunity arise, I would! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'crack head' bought a car without an MOT for £550, it was sold as spares / fixable. Jesus Christ you lot are uptight. I couldn't have been any more honest than I was when selling the car. But as you lot seem to be implying, I am a dirty skate **** who is a pathological liar, a man never to be trusted - a lowlife, a 'sleezeball'. However the FACTS are its the first car I haven't scrapped (and as such sold), I am NOT a liar and am a perfectly trustworthy individual. How you can jump to 101 conclusions about stuff you have NO IDEA about is beyond me. I SOLD A CAR WITHOUT AN MOT - HE TOOK A RISK - IT DIDN'T PAY OFF. GET OVER IT.

stu0x Posted 4 November, 2011 Share Posted 4 November, 2011 As usual, there's a lot of armchair lawyering going on here, and most of it is ill informed and incorrect. Here is some proper advice, with a capital A. Firstly, the core issue you asked about. Whether he signs the V5 or not is irrelevant and has no impact on you. Registered Keeper is not the same thing as owner. You sold the car, it is no longer your property. Send the relevant part of the V5 to the DVLA, put in a short covering letter confirming you sold it and on what date if you feel the need. That's it, nothing else to it. From that point you are no longer the registered keeper of the car. He has no hold over you of any kind by not signing it. So you can stop flapping about that. Secondly, the Police would have no interest in any complaint he might make, so don't worry about that. Although *technically* you might have committed a Fraud (see below), if he went to the Police they would simply tell him it's a civil issue. Thirdly, there is very little chance by the sounds of it that he will actually pursue you in the civil courts. But if he did, I wouldn't bet against him getting at least a partial judgement. You see, you made representations in your advert that were untrue. You shouldn't be making assurances that, for example, a car will pass its MOT when you don't actually know. The fact that you apparently honestly didn't know the extent of the problems would be fine if that's what you said, but you didn't say that. You made representations that you *did* know the extent of the problems. If he can prove that he relied on those assurances, then they could become implied terms of the contract. Which would potentially put you in breach. Fourthly, back in the real world, this guy knows where you live. Is it really worth the potential hassle? Man up, offer him a partial refund in settlement, and resolve it. After all, it's cheaper than replacing a window that's had a brick through it or similar.

Saint_Jonny Posted 4 November, 2011 Author Share Posted 4 November, 2011 If you are so entrenched in your (not entirely correct) viewpoint, why on earth did you post a thread asking for advice? I asked for advice on the issue over the V5C, which you have cleared up for me (thanks for that btw ). I've had to put my 'entrenched' viewpoint across because as per usual, the fine members of Saints Web picked apart the story until it was entirely out of hand and incorrect. Like I said, I asked about the V5C and not wanting to be legal owner for obvious reasons, a lot of what followed was not expected on my part as I don't think I did anything wrong. However I will admit that my choice of words in the Ebay add could have been better - but buyer beware - "should pass an MOT" is not exactly set in stone, is it. A learning experience this has surely been for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Jonny Posted 4 November, 2011 Author Share Posted 4 November, 2011 The amount of abuse I'm getting over this is totally unbelievable. I took legal advice from a friend, I consulted with a load of REAL people (not internet warriors), and they all told me that once he drove it away, it was his problem, he takes it on the chin. He bought car without an MOT, he took the risk. What I unknowingly sold him is unfortunate, but NOT MY PROBLEM. I bought a Golf GTi a few years back for 2 grand, drove it 20 miles and the gear box casing cracked and ruined the clutch as well as the gearbox itself. I went back and asked for a refund, he told me to **** off, because he had no idea there was a problem with it. How is this any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 4 November, 2011 Share Posted 4 November, 2011 I have been ripped off on cars in the past Hypo so it doesn't bother me. Oh so that's alright then. You've been ripped off so it's perfectly fine for you to rip off others. Out of interest what would you expect from the car sold in that ebay auction, what would you GENUINELY expect? If I was a trusting sort of guy then I would expect what you represented. Whether you knew or not, (and you probably did know a bit) it's the mark of a person how they deal with something like that. I bought an expensive coat off ebay once that was in a worse condition than advertised. I contacted the seller who was apologetic and offered to pay for a full refund and postage costs of the return. Now in your world he was a tw*t for doing that and should have called me a tosser and an idiot for trusting and kept all my money. See technically you will probably get away with it but it doesn't make you look like less of an a*sehole. For the 100th time, at the time of sale, what I put in that ebay auction was 100% accurate - to my knowledge. That maybe so (though I would be surprised if you didn't have an inkling) but as I said, you display no empathy for the buyer and have generally acted like a t*sser. You asked for advice and mine is that if you don't want to be thought of as a meanspirited Kn*b in life then you should at least offer a partial refund. The fact that you won't speaks volumes.
