So you bought a really cheap car, without checking its status, in order to get some money off a car you actually want. In answer to your question as to whether they can cancel the sale - answer is probably yes. Read the small print of whatever it was that you signed.
|
|
do you have the green slip from the V5?
|

Question Author
i have the slip for the car i swapped his for but he has the slip for the car i bought but i do have a reciept for the car i bought
|
|
Well without proof of ownership of the car you've bought I'm not sure of your position. Might be worth asking the local police?
|
|
Question Author
i do have a reciept for the vechile is that worth anything?
|
|
The V5 Registration is not proof that the vehicle belongs to anyone, The receipt for the vehicle is proof of ownership, As you say you have then it is yours.

i actually worked for a dealership where a car had been traded that had been poorly repaired we actually went and seized the sold vehicle back cancelled the sale and gave him the pile of c**p trade in back.
what you have to remember is the sales guy who does the appraisal is not a qualified mechanic or bodywork/chassis expert..hes a 'salesman'.
|
|
The log book for the car you swapped had it not got a category on it IE cat 1,2 or 3 on it indicating that it had been damaged and then repaired ?
|
|
They would of done an HPi check but just because its not on there it doesnt mean it hasnt been a write off, it may only come to light when the vehicle is looked at closer
|
|
sounds like you got shafted the 1st time around...
|
|
Yep, looks like it to me Chas.
