    even with bank account details?

    Paying by bank transfer is akin to paying cash in hand. It offers no protection if things go wrong.

    Also I believe bank transfers dont check the name on the account at all - only the account number & sort code. So theoretically the account may not be in the name of the person/company you think it is.

    How could you not tell there was a problem with the turbo when you test drove it? Or did the problem occur just after you bought it?.

    Also why did you not do a HPI check on the car?

    Just think your lucky it only cost you £700, it could have been stolen and then you would have lost a lot more.
