I think the eBay reference was regarding leaving positive feedback - not that the vehicle was only available on eBay.

Him getting the sack isn't your problem. You both agreed a deal for the car. You even double checked the details.

You have the car you wanted, at the price you agreed to. I'd probably ignore them from now on, they aren't going to try taking it to court as they've already paid the finance on your old car off, so they can't undo the contract now.

That what I meant. If you only sell cars on ebay but you have a dealer principle, and a boss. but you cant send them a positive review, only on ebay....calling you pal...naaaaw! well fishy!

Assuming that the screenshot in the messages was actually for the OP's finance contract - OP should check with the finance co. that the account is actually paid up.

It's nearly 2 grand, that's a big enough incentive for them to take it to court - we're not talking pocket change.

Except the OP has the car and has (currently) paid buttons for it.   What's the con here?  Sell people cars for significantly below market value and then try to guilt/trick them into paying more?   Doesn't sound like a particularly good plan to me.

Well if I were the OP I think I'd take the view that I've got nothing to lose by letting them sue me.

Surely the whole point of a unilateral mistake potentially voiding a contract is that the person making the mistake has inadvertantly put themselves at a disadvantage because the other party is aware of the mistake, but they aren't.  If the other party actually says to them "Have I understood this correctly?" and they get the reply "Yes - you have", then it begins to look a bit different as they've in effect been put on notice to check the terms

If I were the OP - and I were confident and sincere about what I'd done - I'd let them sue me and my defence would be along the lines of:  "Well yes your honour - it did cross my mind that it was a remarkably good deal and might be too good to be true, but that's why I double-checked the details of the deal with the trader to make sure I'd understood and to give them an opportunity to correct it if necessary.    The conversation went as follows: [see messages exchanged timed at 19:40 to 19:42 in the OP's second post on this thread].  I accepted in good faith what I was told as I particularly wanted to make sure I understood the terms of their offer.  They confirmed my understanding was correct".

A court may or may not agree with my view, but if I were the OP and thought I'd done what I could to confirm the deal was correct, then I wouldn't just roll over and pay up.  I'd defend it and at least make them work for their money.

tell them to return your car and all monies paid and cleared into your bank,this will add another owner on v5 and be worth less.
Also let us all know where in the country you live,someone will recommend  a good dealer,you dont need to pay for warranty they need to give it free. Insurance warranties are a joke.

Just to pick you up on this, what do you actually mean? If you are referring to the Consumer Rights Act, it's certainly not a warranty and does have caveats.
