Advert stated "sold as seen". Therefore buyer beware and nothing you can do about it. Not what you wanted to hear, but hopefully you will learn by your costly mistake and in future get it checked out by someone who knows about cars before parting with your hard earned cash.

He claims on the listing that he took this vehicle in as a part exchange, he then goes on to say that he could retail it for more but requires the space. Therefore although he is listed as a private seller, his description makes him sound like a dealer, and if that is the case I would suggest you take this up with trading standards as he has certainly misdescribed the vehicle if it is as bad as you say. Perhaps if you tell him that your going to report him unless he refunds you in full, he may change his mind. Good luck with it.

my dad as said he will be reporting him and opened a depute with ebay but still no reply he did reply saying it was sold as seen etc.. and that he is seaking legal advice. i really believe i am goner have to take it up with the courts it just shows how dis honest people can be.do you think i stand a chance on this? thank you for your help any other info needed ill pm you

hi to all i wanna thank everyone for the information and my dads put it down to experience i just wanna let everyone no that beware of buying cars as some can be misleading my dad lost over 800pound due to this and if it helps people to be more cautious about buying cars off ebay then i think this has done justice paypal and ebay dont do anything so beware before handing over your hard earned cash and do checks ect... thanks again everyone
