The contract he has signed will need to be read by a legal expert first, it may be a trade to trade agreement where he has signed to state he is a trader and the sale is a in-trade transfer.
If he has and he is not a trader it will take some serious explaining as to why he would sign a contract that says the contrary.
He should not have signed anything.
I know this is hard with young people but you need to drill it in to him that it is possible to sign 1 bit of paper and spend the rest of your life in jail.
If asked to sign anything, it is a contract and needs to be carefully read.

Before firing off I would have a damned good read of this contract, it is NOT a receipt.

its just a piece of paper with the car details and name and addresses on, just a receipt. nothing to do with being a trader, they took his old car as a trade in

Do as I suggest in post #5. The 'receipt' sounds to me that the seller has attempted to reduce your son's statutory rights so he has nothing to worry about, its potentially a different story for the seller. You may wish to give CAB a quick call to clarify.

Have you seen this receipt you insist on calling a contract?

If he'd signed a piece of paper from the dealer saying he would instantly become a babe magnet and his life would change for the better because of buying this car would that make it a contract?
You cant form a contract from something that isnt even legal!!!

"only 23"?

At 23 he could be a qualified doctor! He's not a child! If he isn't savvy enough to know what to look for when buying a car, perhaps he shouldn't be on the road.

That's a different driving test to the one I did then.

We've all done stupid things at 23. I once bought a Daewoo lanos.

hi my son brought a car tuesday,from a garage, but the dealer offered him a lower price if he didn't give him a warrantly, hes only 23 and said ok, on the receipt the dealer has wrote no warrantly and sold as seen on it.
but now 5 days later the electric window as stopped working and when first starting it cuts out and revs to high.
would the garage beable to do anything or not with them writing no warrantly and sold has seen on receipt

i usually find its the buyer not the seller trying to reduce the price, simple fiestas are easily warranted for example the electric window not working will simply be the broken wire between door and door pillar, a ten minute fix, the seller not wishing to loose a sale may have informed the buyer that to go down to the buyers asking price would mean he would have to buy it a different way to normal ie no warranty, he could use the money hes saved by getting it fixed elsewhere and may still be in profit.
