These normally go for considerably more than the saloons but this needs a lot of work. Yupp......

They’ve put that to avoid any doubt with the likely buyer who has £750 to spend on a car. Doesnt matter if your a dealer... you could sell it for £1 'Sold as Seen' 'Spares or repairs'. If anything arises within 6 months thats outside of fair wear and tear... then as the dealer, youre on the hook, As per the Consumer Rights Act.

Someone went to Judge Rinder over a £400 Skoda that broke down. He cited consumer law etc and that it had to be fit for purpose (! - £400) and the trader was the crook 🤷♂️ Ask @dollywobbler about his experiences on this subject.

He would have been well within his right to do so and didn't need to worry about how much of a twat the dealer was/had the potential to be as it's all ultimately mediated by the courts if it gets that far.

Obviously a lot of the time it doesn't work as the car is bent, not holding coolant etc but people still try! I bought my current Focus from a garage only a stone's throw away from our local Copart. They constantly have people coming in saying they've just bought a car from Copart but it won't start/there's a wheel missing/there are no keys etc and can they fix it while they wait! Most arrive by train expecting to drive home in their gleaming and flawless new car. oldcars, RoverFolkUs and Remspoor 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I acted like a potential buyer to nap a blast in one and they rightly told me to piss off. Always had a massive hankering for one ever since but never got round to it and prices/availability are daft/scarce these days. I better start ploughing available funds into lottery tickets to see what I can conjure up before auction time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 17 hours ago, wuvvum said: If memory serves (it's been a while since I studied such things and the rules may have changed since then) selling as spares or repair effectively removes any protection for the buyer as you are no longer selling a vehicle, you are selling a collection of parts which happen to still be in the shape of a vehicle. Otherwise you could sell a rotten car for scrap and the buyer could take you to court when it subsequently failed an MOT on welding. If you pointed out the welding it needed, in writing then I think you might be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume somebody thinks the red leather interior is worth £600 and they are hoping it's OK because once once rust reaches the roof surely it's fucked.

It’s another sign of the way people have to be indemnified against anything going wrong. You’d have to be crackers to be selling even sub £5k cars these days, people’s expectations are frequently wide of the mark. This is why coupled with the hassle I just scrap them now when I’ve to move them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
