I'm feckin ticked off to say the least! I sold my BMW a week and a half ago to a local guy for the sum of £400 as seen. He even got his mechanic friend to have a look around the car on a ramp for a good hour or so and he even confirmed that it was a good car for the money. I mentioned about some small problems with it that will need sorting eventually and thus why the price was as cheap as it is, on this basis he handed the money over and we done the old signatures and details bit on the V5 docs, sent them off, done!
Today the guy stops me in the street and says he's not happy with the car, it's a piece of ****, the battery keeps on dying on him when he goes to start it! I told him before he bought it that the engine needed a good rev as soon as you start it to get charging system going, no idea why but hey, I managed to live with it for months on end with no problems. I even mentioned to him that maybe the alternator belt or alternator needs replacing to which he said, "No, it's just rubbish, I've only done 32 miles and it's doing this, I want my money back!". Tough tits I thought, a deal's a deal and for that price who can complain FFS!!? I said to him that it's only a minor issue and that he had a guy go over it before he bought it to confirm that all was well, so he wouldn't be seeing his money, at all! At this point he rode off and just said, "I want my money back if it does it again."
What a cock. Who would return a car over such a superficial problem, mainly caused by his own stupidity of starting the car up (2.5L), going 500m down the road and stopping, repeat 2-3 times daily, what do you get... Not very many miles for your battery, dumb ass.
Obviously I am not just going to hand the money over to him as the car was sold as seen! Would he have a case against me seeing as though he's not going to get penny one from me the slag!
