    So just to clarify your BIL wanted to sell a better, higher spec, more valuable Clio with no need for repairs and replace it with an inferior ned mobile saxo which needed loads of repairs.

    Simply ludicrous.

    Take it to court at your own peril as a judge is going to think something is decidedly dodgy about the car or your BIL.

    just to clarify this point yes the clio is in better spec and condition but my BIL wanted a saxo and as no one was offering to buy it (was reasonably priced and was below the valuation of £850 as he marked it up for 720 ono) untill the offer of a swap came allong my BIL dont mind doing repairs he has access to a proper garage and tools and i get discount from my previous works in a motor factors.

    the inferior saxo would have been brough back to good condition in the summer as my BIL planned to repaint it and repair it properly. its his thing i think he has ocd when it comes to cars it has to be perfect he cant stand things being broken or not working it has to be right, hence why he keeps the reciepts too just to say i spent this that and the other on it. plus yeh he's too honest when comeing to sell his cars as he get too enthusiastic when talkking about them. i trhink he puts them off many people dont share his view on cars tried explaining that but in one ear out the other.
