Hi Ladies and Gentlemen,

As many of you know ive fairly recently bought a zed and ive had many problems with it, all of which im overlooking apart from one which id the fact that the gear box is dead.

Now because of this i spoke to the person i bought the car from and he promised to help me out money wise to get it fixed.

Now suddenly when ive told him of the problem he's dissapeared and not answering phone etc so im going to take legal action to regain the costs under consumer protection, he told me there was no problems with the car (which i have txt's etc to prove him saying it).

 

Ive spoken to a couple of people who all think i have a very strong case so it looks like thats what will happen as he isn't getting back to me.

It comes as part of consumer protection.

 

Its not something i wanted to do however its what alot of people think i should so im going to unless he gets in touch

 

Just thought i'd let people know.

Im not going to bad mouth the guy but if he does decide to get in touch it would obviously work out better for him

easy being wise after the event m8

but:(

being a forum always some "history"

.......

Can I sugest you edit this post, if you know what I mean.

No point asking on here if you have a case or not, because far too many people recite crap they've heard or because they know of an instance where someone knicked something or broke something etc.

 

It is under contract Law and more importantly Consumer protection laws that you will win or loose your case. If this has occured within Three months of purchase the seller must either repair, make a satisfactory offer towards repair or take the vehicle back and refund you in total unless he can unequivocally prove that you have damaged the gear box.

 

The three hats I were for my business are, Drawing up contracts for service of contractually Labour, Lease and Lease purchase contracts and HSE inspections of sites our bods are to work in/on etc. I honestley know more about the sections of contract law I deal with than most solicitors, but I'd still say seek proper legal council. If they get it wrong you have redress.

Well done BillyNomates!!

just from my experience, i got my zed from a garage who sold this car as a working car, no problems etc.

however after having it a few days things went wrong ie: headgasket, gearbox packed up, propshaft was nackered (had been told this was a worn tyre....i know im an idiot for believing him) just to name a few!

after talking to trading standards they told me that as the car was sold as a roadworthy car that it had to be in this condition, roadworthy. i kept my autotrader ad showing that the car was an "excellant example".

i did eventually get the money for the repairs but it did take a while.

just not sure what the take is on a private sale. hope you get it sorted though mate!

Reason being, that Bird decided NOT to name and shame, and that is HIS priviedge, NOT anybody elses. I knew who it was, and I'm sure quite a few others did aswell. But it's not my place to expose him either, IMHO.

LOL pay your £20 or end up in court for liable Sounds like a good deal to me;)

 

I done the title.

if you go to trading standards you have 3 months from buying the car and if there is a problem the old owner must pay !!!!!!! i know ive been caught out with a car a few years back and trading standards sent me a nice letter stating i must refund or pay for the head gasget :rant:

If he sold the car with an advert saying it was in good condition then you have grounds for recourse. The law states that if you sell something, it has to be fit for the purpose for which it was sold unless he has your signature on an agreement which states "sold as seen".

 

If you have bought it thinking it was in good condition, then the gearbox goes, then it was not fit for the purpose for which it was sold. I have been through all this with a lawyer...

 

HTH
