What's a TVR?

Where was the car "sent off" for MOT?

Who told you the car was a write-off, and do you actually mean write-off as in insurance write-off?

Who said it was sold as seen? Does it actually say so anywhere?

Who said "you're on your own"?

Please be a bit more specific so WE know what's going on, at the moment, we'd just be guessing.

There's quite a few things I believe can be done here, but I won't say until you answer the above questions.

[happy old boy]

all are know son brought car from dealer ,then ,it was sent some where to be done up and mot it was them who said that the chassi was f///.went back to garage,they said sorry,company policy is car sold as seen.he did not even touch car keys

TVR is an independent British manufacturer of sports cars based in the English town of Blackpool, Lancashire

Does he have a receipt? No such thin as sold as seen.
He is entitled to complete refund under SOGA.
Where is the car now? has he got anything in writing from the dealer or the testing station about its condition?
Once you have something in writing from MOT tester or garage then you can claim refund from dealer.

[Bookworm]

Ok, then.

Your son needs to write to the dealer stating that he rejects the car as unfit for purpose, not of satisfactory quality and not as described under SOGA1979, and demand immediate full refund. Also to tell them that it is their responsability to collect the car at their expense, and remind them that "sold as seen" has no basis in law and is in fact an offence as it is an attempt to deny a customer their statutory rights.

I wish all car cases were that simple.

Hi All

I already got told off about replying to this thread, so I have to be careful, but it's a double post from the Vehicle Retailers and Manufacturers section.

There is something distinctly odd about the whole thing in my opinion.

Quote "The chassi is F/////" Is this a new technical term I've never heard of before?

Be careful

4 wheels, an engine: It's a car. Ok. There endeth my interest in the thing.

	Are you letting your bank keep your money Are you giving away thousands of pounds?? Many people aren't claiming all of the money they are entitled to when they make their bank charges claims. You have been forced to pay unfair bank charges. Have you forgotten that your bank has charged you inteest on those charges? If you are overdrawn and the bank owes you charges - then your overdraft is made up of charges - money which you bank owes you. Yet you are paying interest to the bank - on your own money!!! Follow this link to see the discussions on this. You might even double th size of your claim.

But you have to have the right colour!!

When you mentioned that your son never even touched the keys, I assume that you meant that he bought the car, paid for it, then the garage sent it off for an MOT/check-up and was then told that the chassis was knackered and the car was written off?

If this is the case, the garage is obviously trying to pull a fast one. Don't put up with it. Like Bookworm said, 'sold as seen' is a load of cobblers. £7,600 is a lot of money. Your son needs to make it clear to the garage that he knows his rights and won't have any qualms in taking them to court. When they figure out that they've been rumbled, I doubt they'll stand their ground.

Let us know how it turns out.

Hi There HoB

Are you deliberately trying to wind us up, or are you typing this on a keyboard with half the keys missing.

Seriously though, who buys a car from somewhere called Douglas Valley Breakers, and how many breakers yards have salesmen.

[Bookworm]

And has he followed the advice I gave in my first post?

If not, why not?

If yes, what was the response from the dealers?

His £7,600 is not down the drain, it is very secure and wrapped up in regulation that says "They must give you your money back".

Have you spoken to Valley Breakers yet ?
