im not out after sympathy im just putting my word accross as you wouldnt expected a trusted member to rip you off !!

When I joined I didnt have to pass any character reference check from what I recall ? ... just cos were on here it dont mean were trusted

however I think you need to lock this thread and speak to guy directly ... no answer to phone call then get down to his home address but think u be pishing in the wind ... put it down to experiance and move on.

btw I think he has stuffed you but you allowed him to do it ... from what you have posted.

good luck !

I bet your wife loves you.. Mr interesting saying the same sentances over and over.

you are protected under the sale of goods act 1979, vehicle must be free from fault (asides from declared or known faults) any subsequent mechanical fault discovered within six months of the sale is deemed to have been present and undeclared at the time of sale and therefore is rectifiable at the expense of the seller.

You must adhere to procedure. Give the seller notification and opportunity to rectify faults, if no contact then you can have them rectified and pursue the seller via the small claims court for costs. Cost of doing this will be around 50-100 pounds. In my humble opinion your case is quite strong as the seller published his/her opinion of the vehicle on this forum and is therefore in the public domain rather than being merely a verbal assurance.

Note though a justifiable claim against the seller is only as good as his/her status, should they be bankrupt or"of no fixed abode" this will be a pointless exercise.

The Sale of Goods Act won't cover him on this as it was a Private Sale. And that means that the part where it says ..goods must be of merchantable quality .. or fit for purpose.  Don't count.
Buyers Beware.
This is the reason that there is a diferance between Trade sale and a Private sale.

Im loud and proud,possibly a Muppet at times,but how do you define someone who hands over cash for a van they don't test drive in the dark?

[paul marshall]

why hasnt krave come on to stick up for himself , if hes inocent you would think he would be defending himself , not hiding , and ben i tend not to trust many people , but on clean it up i would expect the person to be decent as you did , unlucky mate hope you get a decent break soon 

[gary999]

does he still come on here! he might not even know this post is running

[Roy Harding]

He was on here twice last night.

[gary999]

says it all then really

[geefree]

Sorry To heary you have been ripped off,.... its his fault for selling you a pile of poop , and your fault for buying it without checking anything out....

You have v5 documents, so you know where he lives... call and see him and discuss the issues rather than waste time on here moaning about how you were ripped off.

[mark dew]

don't listen to anyone who tells you to lock this thread. Putting it up is a good thing and it would be good to know how this plays out.
Good luck.

Av already said Ben has been naive.You hear about con men conning people out of money with various scams,would you say to these victims that "it is a fact,you ripped yourself off". You being loud and proud the answer is probably yes.

[GoodFella2006]

Just out of curiosity, you drove halfway to meet him at a service station with your 2yr old ?
How did you get the van back to your house?

If you dont understand the question - He must of took someone with him? Or the 2yr old drove his car back while he drove the van?
If it was his wife/partner, there's no way mine would of let me part with a wad of cash in the dark

He has not been conned though has he?,he done the deed,he didn't check things out ,no one stopped him,I don't. agree with con men who plan to mug people off by being devious ,I stick and stand by that he ripped himself off.......not nice but true,

Well in my eyes the seller was devious,as the false description of the van proves.A hope you have read the opening post properly this time,you made a real James Hunt o yersel the last time you tried to get wide.

Exactly, another mouthy moron. Lots of them around it seems. Magic moments and mick Kent both sound very loud indeed! Also, they are morons.
