hi all, 9 months ago i bought a 200tdi to break for spares, and lost for time i sold the shell with axles and engine with all bits bar from diesal pump, for £100 the guy i bought it from drove it to my place so i no it drove fine. the guy bought it left it in a yard for 9 months, putting it in this week he said its making a funny noise ad its smoking, which i wouldnt have paid £450 for a broken engine, now hes asking for his £100 back, im not giving it back if it had of been a wekk or so i would of but not 9 months, what are your views, cheers guys
-
tell him to go and swivel :lol: [-X
Seriously 9 months is along time, as you say maybe a week.. maybe.
-
What a complete plank. I wouldn't dare ask for my money back after all that time [-X Send the bloke packing.
-

It would fetch more than that on the scales (scrap) so tell him to deal with it. (polite :shock:)
-
I'd tell him to cover it in WD40.
It'll be easier to shove up his @r$e! :twisted:
-
Are these people for real? What he wants a warrenty on a vehicle he is buying for spares! :clap: good try!
-
I can't remember the Latin phrase off hand, but the translation is somewhere along the lines of 'Let the buyer beware'.
In true Anglo Saxon, the translation would be 'Sod off'.
Tell him to poke it! If he wants a something with a warranty, buy it from a dealer.

So he bought an engine with no fuel pump, axles and shell for £100 :-k Have i got that right? if so he was a fool to assume they even worked, a TDi has to be worth that after it's blown up :doh:
-
Oh yeah, he's probably put the pump on wrong :roll:
-
it was working fine, b4 i started stripping it, i wouldnt try and rip some 1 off i just had to get rid, the guy whos fitting it is a good landy mechanic, if i had £100 spare i might of thought about it coz il make more stripping the again, but out of principple im not going to give him it back,
-
If you took a brand new motor back after nine months ~ with no previous complaints ~ they wouldn't give you your money back. Tell him to go take a long walk off a short pier :lol:

Thats the one! Damn dangerous creatures, those Caveat Emptors! Shot one once in India. Surprising really, as I could have sworn I was in Africa.

hey rob,
the black paint has chipped :^o on those steel wheels you sold me a couple of months ago.
can i have my money back aswell please,pretty please :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
lol, how they going for you mate, ive used my new tyres once since i put them on, wheel bearings, dodgy caliper, then a prop, now the cambelt is been changed,
i cant belive this bloke, i really think he thinks il give it back, my mate said he will give £100 for engine and axles, he will make more breaking them,
but it did sound like a threat the way he said just so he knows where he stands,
-
Knows where he stands? ask him what planet that might be then :lol:
One guy in the wanted has just payed £70 for an axle with no diff in it, which is probaly fair TBH, so I think the guy ripped you off.
I'd be surprised if he's still got all the bits you sold him anyway.
-
In this situation i think i would give him his £100, take the disco, sort the engine (even if i had to buy another engine) all super fast, then drive it round to his house the day after and say the fuel filter was clogged and ive just sold it on ebay for £800
-
I did something like that with an eBay pug 106d, listed as good, but had knackered cogbox..... left feedback saying how cool and quiet and nice to drive it was and such a bargain, but that the seller could have told me that there was a loose bracket that rattled sometimes..... the reply/email was amusing... :dance:
-
Ask him if he's got any better jokes than can i have my £100.00 back,what a clown.
-
I would just turn around to the chap saying how do you know and how can he prove that he hasnt gone and changed various bits on the engine or tweeked the engine since you sold it to him. Let him prove he hasn't fiddled with it.
-
tell him that you will give him the money back on condition that its all returned in the condiition that it was sold in
:lol:
-
Even breakers yards only give between 1 / 3 months guarantee, depending on if they have another unit to swap. Just tell him to turn round when he is talking to you, as hes clearly talking out his a*** and you can,t hear him through his underpants.

I`d say he got a good enough deal to start with!
i`d happily give you £100 for it as a non-runner... and i`d run off with it too!
scrap value = £80/tone (based on light iron) gives you nigh on £160....
if you strip it, sell what you can, and weigh in the rest (aluminium, wire, scrap iron) you`d get your money back easily.. with profit to buy another non-runner!
tell him he failed to apply for an extended warrenty, at £100/year... but he can buy it now for £150!
seriously, how many dealers sell cars with more than 3 mths warrenty?
next time he rings just stop him mid-speach and say "can i talk to your carer please?" lol, `tard :roll:
-
Can he
A) proove when it was bought from you, ie by way of reciept,
B) proove the car is in EXACTLY the same condition it was in when it was sold
Finnaly the advice I would give you is ....... Kick him straight in the N*TS
-
dont forget to put his details on here, so we all know who the hell he is !!!!!!!!!!!
and whatever he,s smoking ask him if i can have some.
-
I've just re-read this, he got the shell as well as the axles and engine? and he wants a refund?
He wants his bumps felt, as said he's got more than £100 in cash sat there, give him his money back and tow it into a breaker's just to spite him. you'll walk out in profit.
-
il keep you all updated , hes gona call me on wednesday to see if im gona give him his money back, ?
-
If he lived closer, I'd give him his money back, you did him a right favour and he's being a numpty.
Best of luck with the numpty ;)
-
Don't worry, there's nothing he can do if its a private sale. If its a trade sale as in your a car trader its still only three months that you have to repair it or refund the unhappy customer.
So in short tell him to get lost ..........politely though........lol
These people take the mickey!
