Why do you assume that? I am sure that Discogal would have been honest with the new buyer and explained exactly what was wrong with it. The buyer may have bought it for spares.
lets hope so eh

some ott comments above, it was obviously sold without an mot.....cos failing it was what started this thread in the first place, so anybody buying it should have known it was unroadworthy, how much the vendor pointed out to the buyerr is basically irrelevant. or are lot you trying to tell us we aint allowed to sell our wrecks anymore.
read the op again mate

Precisely. I have been in exactly the same situation as you Discogal but yonks ago and a £400 metro, lol!! Still that long ago would be about £1000 in today's terms, maybe more. However, I fixed her up and she ran for years but I didn't have a leg to stand on with the seller. To start going into it deeper for £400 I was told not to bother.
Still, at least you've got some of your cash back...better than nothing and at least your partner is no longer driving a death trap.
Onwards and upwards!
i have conned nobody fyi i advertised it thru ebay and listed every damn thing that was wrong with it . are you one of these do as you have been done by merchants , coz im NOT.
For everybodies imformation . I sold the vehicle thru ebay with a description of everything that was wrong with it from the mot sheet. He is exporting it to africa where he says that spare parts are rarer than rocking horse **** and will be broken over there . I would not have sold it to him if i thought for one minute that it would be endangering lives. Some of you hotheaded t**ts on this site obviously have nothing better to do with your time than pull apart people that are worse off than yourselves both financially and knowledge of vehicles. I bet if you had saved for 2 years for a vehicle and some b*****d ripped you off you would feel a bit p****d off . Its t**ts like you that give this forum a bad name .

Thank you for your understanding words silverlandy . it really is good to see that there are some decent folk on here . ive met some already , but there seem to be far more that are not .£1000 is a lot of money when you've got bugger all!Precisely.

see why you're called dr evil ,not noted for your tact and diplomacy are you , read some of the other posts i asked a perfectly reasonable question and it seems to me that a third of the replies on here were stroppy , including yours . some of the blokes on here seem to be bitchier than women are porported to be. those of you who are continuing the thread are all:5bbeatdeadhorse5:now.
