Sold as seen, but buyer wants to return car..

The red V5 is the same as the old one, just a different colour.
If he's told you that he has to send the V5 off and taken it with him, then brought the car back after 2 hours...... I'd be banging my money on the fact he's taken something off the car that he wants / needs and now he's trying to pull a fast one.0 -
there is no such thing as 'sold as seen'. He has a case if the car is unroadworthy, if you have sold an unroadworthy car then you have acted unlawfully.
If the car is roadworthy and your advert stated the problem then he has no recourse.
If the car is roadworthy and you did not state the problem in the ad then he can ask for a refund/repair.0 -

he has no rights at all. except the right to f*ck off and take his car with him.0 -
His problem, not yours.
Your big mistake was not sending of fthe V5, so write a letter telling them that he bought it.
It seems odd that he would discuss the problem, say he knew what it was likely to be, hand over cash and THEN drive the car away before changin his mind.0 -

Yes he is, the car does have a problem but he bought it knowing that.0 -

There is a problem with the gearbox and the buyer knew this when he bought the car.0 -
