I'll take that bet.
Actually, no I won't. That'd be !!!!ing ridiculous, because we all know it's true.
Eventually the OP will cave in and give this joker a refund or something, thereby encouraging others to try this in the future.0 -

Legally, no, you don't have to.
You can find this out very easily by googling it, rather than just saying you disagree. Not very helpful when people are looking for advice.
Actually, I reckon if you could prove someone knew that their vehicle was a Cat C or D, and they didn't declare it, you could legally win in court.0 -

Only if the advert stated that it was HPI clear and the damage occurred during their ownership or if the seller HPI'd the car before they bought it."Dream World" by The B Sharps....describes a lot of the posts in the Loans and Mortgage sections !!!0 -
I have again considered all options that I have in current situation (as you refused the return of the vehicle). We have decided to take a legal advice as we do think that the car that was sold to us was in unroadworthy condition and that is against the law. You, as a seller (same rights and responsibilities apply) cannot sell an unroadworthy car to a customer. For this reason we have pre-booked a vehicle inspection from an independent engineer who's report can be used in court. If the report proves my point I'll go to court and recover the money for the car as well as other losses (that is cost of insurance, diesel, report etc). I'll come back to you with a copy of engineer's report.
Thats a new email today followed by a text that I should check my email.
What can I say?0 -

Customer?
Are you motor trade or in any way could you be perceived to be motor trade?0 -
Ignore, ignore, ignore - if he's stupid enough to attempt to take it through the courts then he hasn't got a hope (providing everything you've said here is true)0
