Help please re legal action

[Cosworth50]

All sound advice gents thanks.

The issue is that sometimes, just sometimes, cost and logic go out the window when someone annoys you so much.

What more did the chap want? It went on pistonheads and within an hour or two of the advert going live he had a deposit in his bank account. The very next day I spoke with James at a redish and booked it in for the very next slot they had free. I confirmed this with Ben, the seller, and he agreed and okayed everything.

I was then due to go and pick it up this coming weekend or, as I told Ben, send a trailer down for it this week.

I did not quibble or ask for a 'best price' I offered to pay full whack on condition he was a gentleman which, he assured me he was.

A seller can't expect much more than that.

I will speak with a solicitor tomorrow because I feel so passionately about it.

If anyone has a lower owner, decent example that is a gent and wants to deal with a fellow, no nonsense, cash buyer please get in touch and restore my faith in humanity

I agree with you when someone annoys me then I will pursue a matter if only for nuisance value.

I went to see this car last night and had a good look around it, seller said he wasn't overly fussed about selling as had a friends garage he could use.

I didn't bother to ask for a test drive as for some reason it just didn't all add up. This was purchased to be kept for investment but then space became a problem then it wasn't a problem etc.

Has definitely had some serious money spent on it I don't know if thats a good thing or bad, by that I mean whether its had a harsh life which is why the money has had to be spent on it.

Also no paperwork to back up the work done to the floor just the dealers 'word'!

If treats you like that he got no respect for you or his car
shit man shit car lucky escape (buy from someone on regester)
Lifes short

[Matt21]

Never had a warm and fuzzy feeling on this car. Always seems for sale!

Fate must have meant it wasn't yours. Move on and get ready for the next one!

Time waster.

Fuck him off, plaster the reg plate over here and cutters to help any future buyers.

Draw a line under it and move on. Life's too short.

Part of the pleasure of the buying process is securing a loved car from an enthusiast...not a chancer.

Be patient and procure the right car from the right guy (or gal).

Yanto has summarised your situation.

I know you want a csl yesterday but come September they'll be at least one or 2 forum members saying goodbye to their car's.

This spring saw a couple of cracking forum owned cars change hands.

Plan for Spring 2016......

When buying a car go see it pay and drive home dont give them the chance to change there mind os sell to someone else

The 1 for you will still be out there

Same thing happened to me earlier this year with a dealer SOR car and it was quite frustrating. One of the reasons given was that 'the new buyer doesn't insist on a inspection', so either they wanted to avoid the hassle or there was something to hide.

So I would assume in your case the new buyer is paying more and/or they do not want an inspection. If they are paying the same then perhaps they should get it inspected

As others have said this happens all the time unfortunately. I'd sleep on it and I'm sure that tomorrow you won't want to spend any more time/money on this chap.

Walk away and forget about it, (it didn't have your name on it) put it down to experience and save yourself the hassle and expense, not to mention the aggravation, frustration and headaches.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the seller was a closet car dealer.

The car was Mr Sagmans aka Ian, who was completely OCD when it came to his CSL everything that didn't meet his expectation was replaced eg. Screws, bolts, clips, sill trims etc... It was polished more than it was driven, all the invoices illustrated will be his. I've met Ian (Smashing Lad even though he was from Liverpool) although he wasn't in his CSL (I was) and if he's reading these posts he will be more than a little annoyed.
