    All conversations have been recorded and I would download them and post a link if I could on here just so you guys and girls could get an idea of where I am coming from.

    He approached us, he badgered us for 2 weeks, we did the deal........ now he wants to swap back...

    his loss at the end of the day, we will see what today brings.

    I am glad that my partners brother is with her today, but is very protective over his family........

    well ive read your thread and he sounds like a chancer

    as youve sent off the log books etc the mondy is legally yours and the scooby his

    he has possibly found out that the insurance on the scooby is extremly high and doesnt want to pay it!

    a deal is a deal and him and yourself swapping is iirc legally binding now anyway :confused:

    swap back and ill swap you a nice xsara diesel for it :p:D

    anyway threats to take the car back will be classed as theft if he does, prehaps if you know some bouncer types bring em round with you :D

    anyway good luck and dial 999 if he is threatening in any manner

  • also if he calls again tell him swapping again will devalue both cars as that means more owners will be added

    Change your phone number :D

    Or get an answering machine with something amusing on it and let it pick up.

    If you have a 'BIG' mate,sell the car to him for a penny,give him a receipt and fill in the logbook to his name BUT do not send off,

    then tell the other muppet that you no longer own the car :beer:

    or to me

    Cheers guys, no show to day, lots of text messages is all, long way to come for nothing! 5hrs or so away!

    I have already thought about mucking around with door numbers or just getting a mate to answer the door and say "eh? who?"
