It was the responsibility of the buyer to make sure that what they were buying was what they wanted and to carry out any checks.

If the seller said that they would give a couple of weeks warranty/gurantee then thats up to them and if they wrote this down then yes the buyer would have some come back.

but in these circumstances let them threaten you - there is nothing they can do - they should have had a mechanic look at the car - if there was any signs the gasket was going he might have picked up on it but thats all up to the buyer.

Let them sue - see how far they will get when the district judge throws it out.
I agree ,it was up to the buyer to check the car over. Anyway when you buy a car for �250 you can't expect no problems.
You tell 'em straight up to gel on! Anyway surely legal action will cost them more than �250 so it won't be worth it. I could understand if your son sold them a brand new car for �25,000 and this happened within the first week, but it was obviously a sh1t box as it cost �250.
