Thread: Legal Question

Right , i dont know if anyone can help me here but i need some advice and help.

Basicly last year in October i sold a Old Honda Civic on ebay and i listed it as a CAT C Damaged Car.

which means that it would be not economical to repair it
(Correct me if im wrong)

Ok anyway the chap i sold it to has got back to be a few days ago and said
"blah blah blah i've just spent 6k doing the car up (Chav style) and now i have found out that you sold me an unfixable car because the chassis is bent"

Basicly i need to know if im in the wrong ?

I dont really think i am because i listed it as a CAT C....

Hi,
If you advertised it as Cat C you have done nothing wrong, if the chassis is a bit wonky they can put the car on a jig and straighten it out.
If the chassis was dangerously bent then it would be a cat B or A in the worst case.

I would tell the buyer you have advertised it correctly and it was up to him to get the vehicle inspected before buying it.

Then again if he's a chav he's probably trying to reclaim some cash for his "modifications" will they never learn...................

Thanks
Simon
