Whilst I've every sympathy for the OP I can't understand how someone would want a specific model without knowing why ie. what equipment it does or doesn't have!

That' s my thought exactly. If you knew exactly what trims the Priviledge included - and indeed wanted a Priviledge trim car, you would have noticed it straight away if it didnt and would not be looking at cars without the said specs. I am confused

o.k all
i think i will get some legal advice it seems used car sales men have it all on their side and the buyer has to have as much knowledge as the seller
my only mistake is trusting and (buying from the wrong people)
so thank you for all your replies i am now going to drown my sorrows in a huge glass of wine in a nice hot bath

Hi Michelle
I am sure that a nice glass of wine and a nice hot bath will do great in unwinding you
Unfortunately it is true that you cannot carry out business by trust. I have learned this in first person. My policy in buying is research/research/research and make sure that whatever you expect/want or dont want it's in writing!
Best of luck!

Mikey, we're trying to help.

If the garage has a get out on the autotrader add.
ie Autotrader made a mistake.

The OP doesn't have a reciept for a privilege model. Where is her evidence she was missold the car?

Or do you wish to expand on that given your legal training?

Sadly, all your help ever consists of is several questions, a bit of self graification, then "advice" that normally points out how it should have been, and suggesting that the op give up.

If the op has a print of the advert, that's the car she should have received. RAC legal advice is what she should be taking, not the opinions from here.
(if you haven't printed the ad, get a hard copy now)

sorry If Im going to be the devils advocate but this thread is getting interesting...:D

... can the dealer say that the buyer was verbally made aware of the discrepancy when they viewed the car and subsequently bought it? Wouldnt it be one word against the other?

I would say in this case yes given the buyer had plenty of time to view the car, and the receipt has the correct car details on it.

Possibly, but then it would also be reasonable to expect him to put that on the receipt, otherwise he leaves the the buyer with the (incorrect) advert as the only written proof otherwise.

he did though didnt he? He stated in the receipt that it wasn't a Priviledge
if they both signed it the OP acknowledged and accepted it.


Ohh I dont know! It's such a grey area I think that the OP will have a lot of hassle and expenses proving that she was mislead.

on the reciept is the reg no only, no model
i only want what i thought i bought is that to much to ask!!!!!!!

This is all I've seen.

michellep45

all that was stated on reciept was the reg of the car and the amount paid no mention of model....
all i need to know if i have a case it was advertised as a privilege on auto trader perhaps i should have questioned more but used car sales men seem to have the gift of the gab, and get around most questions anyway!
does any1 no the where i go from here i have sent a letter recorded delievery stating sale of goods act and i know i have to wait for his reply he stated noway was i getting money back i even offered a reduction of £50 for any mileage id put on the car, saying his lawyers will deal with it...(law data)
is a civil case a hard thing to prove?
