It sounds like you can formally reject the car and issue a legal claim against the dealer for a refund if you wish.

It is quite easy to do.

However, as the value of your claim would exceed the £10k small claims limit, you would be liable for the dealer's legal costs if you lose (though he would have to pay your legal costs if you win).

If the dealer is correct in saying

" i sold this car on behalf of someone a you know already, the car you purchased is a contract with you and him, the contract clearly states the sale is between you and him, "

and the paperwork reflects this, I would have thought he's going to have problems in claiming against the dealer. Did he pay the dealer or did he pay the mystery seller?

thanks for for replying, will answer all questions but yes i did transfer the money 20k to this dealer and he also took the remaining cash he also signed the contract which states as described on eBay.

If the identity of the mystery seller was disclosed at the time, the mystery seller was in legal terms a 'disclosed principal', and you would have to pursue the mystery seller.

If the identity of the mystery seller was not disclosed at the time, he was an 'undisclosed principal', and the dealer would be liable.

The key thing would be what the paperwork says. There should be an invoice saying who the seller is. If there is nothing on the paperwork, the Op's contract will be with the dealer.
