Good opportunity to practice your paper aeroplane making skills.

Sold as seen as originally stated by Gaz, is what it says. regardless. she tested it, was aware of the issues but yet bought it. 5 months later, im surprised your still in negotians with her, and havent had her done for wasting your time and being stupid.

I bought the mx5, 14 years old, asked if there was any warranty whatsoever with it, e.g. 3 months, cuz it was from a trader, and he said they couldnt warrant it due to the age, which tbh I understood, the thing could have blown up the next day, or even out on the test drive. (jk its an mx5, its reliable)

Point is, I bought the car, had the wheels off to paint the calipers and found out there was a cracked drivers front spring, and a week later a friend pointed out a wrecked shock when he lent on the car.

Suppose I could have gone back and been really strict at least claiming for a new spring and new shock (separate corners.)
But end of the day. 14 year old car, 100k miles, can't expect it to be 100%, the dealer had drove it from london up to the docks a few weeks previous, and said it gave him no bother, i took his word for it, and a cracked spring and bust shock would be hard enough to spot on an easy drive i guess.

buy her a toy car from Argos and tell her sorry, with a 'Im Sorry' card and a wee x

thought a dealer had to warranty it something like 3 months no matter what ?

is that engine only or something tho? Must be or else you couldnt sell anything for a profit.

see thats what I thought.. Im sure theres a 'get out' clause somewhere. but then again, in line with what Pablo says.
People will stop trading old cars if they cant stand by a 3 months warranty on it

Saw this thread over on DW and thought I would post it up for people to read. I understand this is a very different case in most ways (the car had been badly damaged) but I didn't think this was possible.

How did this case end up? I heard the law has changed and even if it's a private sold as seen sale you are liable for six months (in other words you have to give a six month warranty with the vechile) just like a dealer. Anyone else heard or know about this?

Never heard that, and very much doubt there's any truth in it.

I think / thought dealers warranty now was mandatory 3 months but irrespective I think the whole domestic selling is as grey as grey can be.
