...what most traders do to protect themselves is give a rac etc type warranty free for 3 months....and as said it dont matter what kinda car it is.
edited as i dont know about spares or repair situations.

glad to hear that th eoriginal problems that the post was about are now getting sorted, and rather than kill the thread it would be nice as a way of showing everyone how things should be handled arther than dropping everyone in at the deep end and waiting for the shit to start flying

Evening Pete, I have a lot on my plate at teh moment but have just speed read this and would like to add that i will personally and happily vouch for Jamie pal, if he is proven to have pulled a fast one on you then i will pay you the £400 back out of my own pocket myself, hes a top lad, as are his close pals, all of whom have spent a lot of money with me over many occasions and years, they are a pleasure to deal with at all times.
I Hope it all turns out well in teh end for all concerned. I am sure it will cos old Pete's a loveable fella at heart and will enjoy actually helping.
Is it fuck a ten minute Job Tim, you need to drop all the fooking suspension off teh chassis to fit most of them, how disrespectfull of you to try and belittle a genuine member who doesnt and shouldnt know any better and even worse, to cast aspersions of dishonesty on a well known trader just for doing someone a favour!! My opinion of you just lowered somewhat mate.
Mind you, im not surprised after teh last post i read of yours which was slagging me off as well!!

just finding my feet
no need to write a essay from me here,,,, as all has been sorted i seen and my opinion counts for shite,,,, but this will add to my post count if not
although if a part is KNOWN not to have been used isnt time irelevent and just a way to wriggle out of a situation for MOST places where you buy stuff
EVERYONE does it though im afraid,,,,,, unfortunatly it seems most honest people never win in life as its a dog eats dog world we live in
but thats just a generalisation of life and ive had a few stellas

yes ok!
its one of these ugly no win situations for either side that pete is in and his side of the argument stands up very well,and if he does give a refund then he will "live and learn" and im sure it will never happen gain
but the only way these incidents cannot happen is if you fork out big money and buy new.
personally i would have had the reground crank back and fitted different bearings for what they cost....you cannot really build a 550 bhp engine on a budget though-surely? and expect it to last....
im glad i dont rely mainly on used parts as its fuckin hard work

Mate you are obviously not aware that being a car trader you are by law bound by a 3 month warranty...he obviously didnt know that which is lucky for you!

...you are so totally wrong if you are trade the customer can go back with any problems within 3 months and that trader has to fix the vehicle FOC if its not normal wear and tear...of course you can say no but they can take you to court and win...my uncle has been a trader all his life and knows the rules..hence as said why the proper traders give a free 3 month warranty from rac etc to cover themselves Not many know about it by the looks..i dont think you will get a letter explaining it ..it the LAW and a bloody good one...the public take note of it and we can stop all the dodgy traders

phil we give a 3 month warranty at work on all the second hand shite we sell
thats the reason why we sell the fast demo cars after they have done 4k miles and are 6 months old,,,,,,, then we still got the ford warranty

What the law says a retailer must do about faulty goods
If you think a product you have bought is faulty, you should tell the retailer as soon as you can. You have a ‘reasonable’ time to examine goods you buy and check that they are satisfactory. If they aren’t satisfactory, you can ‘reject’ them and get your money back. But again, your legal right to reject goods is only for a ‘reasonable’ time. What is a reasonable time depends on the type of product, but it may not be very long, and could be as short as a few weeks. See ‘What does the law mean by ‘reasonable’?’.
Instead of a refund, you could accept a replacement or a repair, or claim compensation (usually the cost of repairing or replacing the goods). But you don’t have to take these options if you don’t want to. If you do let the retailer repair something that is faulty, you may still have the right to get your money back if the repair doesn’t work.
However, if you’ve left it too long to reject the goods and get a refund, or a fault appears later , you still have some rights:
• If the fault appears in the first six months, you are entitled to a repair or a replacement (but not if the fault is just ‘fair wear and tear’ or is caused by accidental damage or misuse). If the retailer doesn't accept your claim, it’s up to them to prove the product wasn’t faulty in the first place, or that it couldn’t reasonably be expected to last that long.
• The retailer can choose to replace an item rather than repair it (or the other way round) if the alternative would be much more costly for them.
• If the fault appears after six months, you may still be entitled to a repair or replacement. But if the retailer disputes your claim, it will be up to you to prove that the product was faulty when you bought it.
The retailer must pay for any delivery costs involved in repair or replacement, which must be carried out within a ‘reasonable’ time. If it’s not possible or practical to repair or replace the goods, you will still have the right to some or all of your money back, depending on how much use you have had from the product since you bought it.
What does the law mean by ‘reasonable’?The word ‘reasonable’ often appears in consumer laws (for example, expecting something to be delivered in a ‘reasonable’ time, or getting a job done at a ‘reasonable’ price). ‘Reasonable’ means different things in different situations. In difficult cases (such as deciding how long something should last with normal use) you may need to get an opinion from a trade association or an independent expert who deals with the product or service in question if you want to bring a claim.
principle of ‘buyer beware’ applies, so you should check something carefully before you buy. This is because the parts of the Sale of Goods Act that say things must be ‘of satisfactory quality’ and ‘fit for their purpose’ don’t apply to private sales.

Phil
I will agree to disagree as i cant be bothered to argue with you about this point
If i sell a car to mr x that is priced at 3k but he wants to pay 2.5k i can sell him it cheap with no warranty what so ever by simply putting on the invoice " sold as spares or repairs" If the customer wants to save £500 and is happy with this then it is legaly sold with no warranty
I personaly dont like to do this , but , a lot of traders will do it , ( so will i if it means a sale that both me and the buyer are happy with )
I am not saying its a great way to do business i am just showing that it is possible to sell a car without a warranty .
Also if you speek to trading standards they have a totaly differant look on cars sales of high performance cars over 10 years old
Phil , this is what i do for a living and i do my homework

Paul....i am talking proper traders (without appearing to be rude)...of course if you put spares or repair you dont have to give a warranty as the buyer excepts the terms providing its all receipted.
So i dont get where i am wrong? You being a breaker no doubt sell all your cars like that to avoid the 3 month warranty that genuine normal traders have to give..(again without sounding rude)..remember my uncle has been a car trader all his life and a proper trader can no longer sell a lemon..of course there are loop holes in anything like you have stated

just finding my feet
sorry but its the moody traders that do that as a loop hole,,,, BUT if you show the add as a working/mot'd car thats sold with the intention of beng used on the road,,,, well i cant see how that "loophole" would cover you
its a little like selling a ringer with the refference " this car is not a ringer" on the bill and saying it wasnt when it left the yard
you cant sell a car off a forecourt as spares or repairs mate,,,, YOU would get away with it,,,,,, its dishonest way of trading might i add as all you are doing is showing you lack of faith in the cars you adverstise as "mint" examples if the bill said " spares or repairs" but then thats just me
that mean that ford can see all there cars as spares of repairs and not give a warranty,,,,, christ why didnt we think of this
isnt a spares of repairs a unroadworthy car though ?,,,,,, as why else would you require that in most conditions

But of course your uncle with his wealth of experience will be aware of that and that fact he certainly shouldn't be SELLING warranties unless he's FSA registered

My dad had an invoice written up 20 years ago [that we still use for the cheap part exchanges] by a solicitor and checked on ONE occassion by Trading Standards that states simply "Sold as parts".
If a buyer is made fully aware of the repercussions and signs that invoice they have no remittance whatsoever.
How is that dishonest?

So you answered your own question. If they sign something to say they're buying parts, they're NOT buying a car.
But if they're buying a brand new car and parting with a lot more money, it's a TOTALLY different matter.
They technically COULD write out invoices saying you're buying only parts and avoid warranties etc. but see how long would they stay profitable? How many people would turn to other manufacturers? It's happening now with Hyundai and the other people offering 5 years. Manufacturers are either falling into line or losing business.
Especially as most dealerships nowadays pay their rent and get their pocket money through what goes on in the workshops

I bet you will not find 1 single car dealer who does not use this system to get rid of cheap p/x cars that they dont want on there forcourt or in there showroom
How can this be dodgy if the customer is buying a car at a very much lower price than its true value AND HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS SIGNING
How mant people do you think say to me ,, " HOW MUCH FOR CASH MATE ,,NO RECIEPT " wink wink ,,,,,,, bloody loads mate ,,people are always trying to save either the VAT , or just get a discount and will take any option to get this
Are you saying thats dodgy

im not saying the part ex's you got in to get a customer,,,, though at my place there all sold through auction anyway but thats another mater
i was refering to selling a car,,,,,, not a old car thats either been part ex'd OR a car thats been sitting on the forecourt for months and so you sell for a loss to get shot of it,,,, im talking about cars you trade with !!!!
maybe its cause i work at a main dealer that we cars we buy for selling on and old cars we buy just to get the customer to buy another car
we have sold other brands of cars to people cheep to get rid of em,,, these have been under the market value and not at the market value
hope you see what i mean
as for selling to avoid the vat,,,, well,,,,, thats not something im gonna comment on as no fucker likes the tax man,,,,,,, but thats another thread me thinks

I brought a Ferrari 348 that was cheap found out it needed more work than 1st thought i did look into what claim i had aganest the dealr but as i paid well under value for it i dont have a leg to stand on.
So if you by a Escos for £5000 that needs work and it is worth £12k in good order then you dont have a case.
I am a motorcycle dealer and have to give 3 month warenty by law BUT if you get the customer to sigh the invoice NO Warrentry given then there is nothing you can do

Not dodgy but deal in 50cc - 125cc bikes Like a Apilila RS125 that we sell to 17 year olds who cane them from cold and use shit 2 stroke oil then ring up a week later saying it has stopped working and my mate has had to give me a lift to work and he wants £50 for taking me and then we get there mom and dads come in and have a go at us. O the fun of dealing with customers

dont forget i break rs cars as well as sell them.i just havent got a posh showroom like days og grace and j28!
i sell mainly rs cars at below average prices-for instance
k plate escos 51000 miles £10k most places £12-13k
many very nice clean low owner rs turbos for under £2500.most places 3k -
lots of decent sapphire cosworths for under £4kmost others 5k plus
i have a small mark up and am very honest when i show people round the cars and to be honest very rarely sell them at screen price.many people are surprised at my honesty but i would rather they know about something now than 5 mins down the road.
my invoice states that the cars of this age are sold as spares or repairs due to the age and the manner in which they may have been used.also any money taken from the screen price is to offset any repairs that may be imminent.
i have sold a fair few cars to a lot of happy satisfied customers and i would say at least 90%would probably use me again.
i could add £1000 on to my prices,sell them with 3 month warranty,full mot,fully serviced,new tyres,etc etc but i would imagine i would not sell as many cars.
as already said most of us have had dealings with trading standards for one reason or another and they have a much different view on a 15/20 year old performance ford than they do a 3 year old fiesta!cases like that are seen on their merits.
or maybe i should just shut up shop and work at tescos

I think phill is correct in what he says about the 3 month warranty, but ONLY if the car is sold at the screen price on the forecourt and no bargaining, haggling or sold as spares stuff is entered into.
I would have no hesitation at using any of the traders on this thread.
