Advice Plz...

[RBFIRE]

get all the paper works done,

get the ADVERTISED,

get the mechanic to write a letter, and sign describe the whole story and ask him willing to be ur witness.

get a solicitor to write a demanding letter (to cover the cost of repair or refund watever)

bring it to the seller,

and see wat he has to say,

am sure he will be freak, if he is decent, he might work something out,

else take it to court,

i fink u have a case,

gl,

i hate scammer,

i know its its lcf mistake not to check,

but the way the seller's attitude, is dishonest and should be deal with,

[lfc]

Yeah i should have checked i know, well im gonna try we will see what happens if i get something outta him then good if not oh well.... guess ive learnt a lesson for next time.

either way the dodgy prick will get something of his own back....

ill let you guys know what happens.

try to agree on something before it gets worse. its always better to settle it in a good way with a good ending. at the end of the day, he knows where u live and might do something very unexpecting.

good luck with everything, hope it works out.

[Atreyu]

Good luck but I cant see you getting anywhere, even if you take it court good luck getting money out of him. If you have proof of him knowing that what do you have other than verbal statements, your word against his. Seriously I woudlnt bother chasing him, learn from it. Itll cost you more!

lfc, I hope I dont sound like a prick I just cant see you winning/getting anything! No one gives fck about anyone else. Be pissed about it but like you said yourself, you learn!

Cheers mate!

[Spook's_Skyline]

i would never buy a second hand car without getting it checked out

there could be any manner of things wrong with it, that u just wouldnt know about

expensive lesson to learn

Civil cases don't have the same burden of proof that criminal ones do. So just because you can't prove it "beyond reasonable doubt" doesn't mean you can't win.

That's how OJ Simpson could be found innocent of murder, yet lost the lawsuit from the family of the deceased over their deaths. You'd think you couldn't sue someone a court of law says they didn't do, but evidently its not the case.

That said, I agree with you. If you persue legal channels, unless you get lucky and get awarded court costs it'll end up costing you more to do this (once you factor your time and stress as well as the purely financial perspective) than just rebuilding it with a nice set of forged stroker internals in preparation for more boost.

You definitly have a case. That workshop witness is the clincher.

Now...should you have had the car checked out? Faken ay. Does that mean you should wear the cost? No Way.

Unfortunatly, the best chance to win is to fork out cash on expensive experienced lawyer. Abo Bob is on the right track....sound like he's got some contact and/or experience.

you cant really do too much, atleast u know where he lives

think of the rebuild as a positive..... gl with it all

[Miller the hoon]

You might get luky

my understanding is he is not a car yard or business

they might say the you should have had a mechanic look at it

also here say he might say he told u

your word against his

u could get a quote and ask him to go halfs with out going to court (tell him he WILL lose and you are a champ so u will go halfs cause it could and might get messy champ)

good luck

what did he write on the receipt when you bought it? anything along the lines os sold 'as is' ', 'no warranties' or 'no returns'?

goodluck with it
