vaughant Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 This...... " If a car is sold by a trader to a member of the public as a restoration for spares/repairs and it is transported away, there are indeed no comebacks accepted, because the car's "satisfactory quality" is a restoration project (beit a full on weldathon or a simple non runner) If the trader allows the buyer to test drive it on public road and/or drive it away, it is assumed that the car is being sold as fit for purpose (to drive on a public road and meet the appropriate laws for doing so) and as such can't be considered faulty/spares+repairs. " ....... seems bang onto me in my experience. I used to do a lot of collection /delivery and every garage I collected a car from gave me a sheet to fill in worded thus and wouldn't let the car leave unless on a trailer. I seem to think salvage is a similar situation? RoverFolkUs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to think salvage is a similar situation? Yeah that's it. If it's not fit or purpose and sold as spares/repairs then it shouldn't be driven away. If it gets driven away then it must be fit for purpose and falls under the CRA protection. Salvage is a bit scary because there nothing stopping a member of the public buying a Cat S car from Copart and "repairing" it to their own standard. Whilst discouraged, I don't think Copart actually stop people driving their cars away. Obviously a lot of the time it doesn't work as the car is bent, not holding coolant etc but people still try!

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.

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...
