Get all of this in writing!!
Found this on the consumer connect website under their guide to buying a used car. MAKE THEM WRITE OUT ALL THE ANSWERS AND SIGN AND STAMP IT. IF THEY TRY TO TELL YOU THEY DON'T KNOW - WALK AWAY PRONTO AND BUY YOUR CAR ELSEWHERE!!
Consumer Car Purchase Checklist Make: Model: Seller’s Name: Seller’s Address: Reg.: Seller’s Phone Number (Landline): Advert seen in (publication/website): Date: These questions should be asked in all transactions Has the car ever been crashed? Yes/No/Details Has any bodywork been done to the vehicle (by you or by others)? Has any major mechanical work been done on the vehicle (by you or by others)? Has the car ever had any electrical problems? What is the correct mileage for this vehicle? How many previous owners has the vehicle had? Is there any outstanding finance on the vehicle? When was the last full service carried out on the vehicle? Has the car been imported and if so, have all relevant charges been paid (VAT, VRT etc)? Are you a member of any trade association? How long is the guarantee period on the vehicle? What does the guarantee cover? (parts, labour, etc) Can you arrange finance for this vehicle? If so, please list your Credit Intermediary Authorisation number Signed: Name (Block Letters): On Behalf of: Name of Garage Garage Stamp Last edited by Bombbastic22; 10-06-2011 at 09:46. |

That's a bit far fetched in fairness, any worth while garage will have an order form and most of that will already be on it and if not the serious stuff will be in small print somewhere. Also if you brought that to a private seller, most of them wouldn't entertain it.
My opinion though. |

All I know is - getting this stuff filled in helped saving me losing a lot of money. If you have this stuff signed and in writing, you have a comeback, if not, it's your word against theirs. Also, it's true that a lot of dealers pose as private sellers, or so I've heard. I'd even check their I.D. As I've learned, the hard way, people try to sell you a lot of junk and conceal a lot of facts about cars. I've also learned that going to solicitors with these things gets you no where - but if you have all the facts - in writing, you may just wrangle a refund if things go wrong. If you have so much cash it doesn't matter if you lose a few grand - proceed - without all in writing - at your own peril. |

If it ain't in writing, it may as well not have been said! |
