Hi all. We are new around here and looking for any useful information. Cut a long story Found car on ebay david drove to us "for a look at it" before I knew what was happening I was in the bank taking £1250 out I got home to hit the "buy now" to find the Renault Laguna had changed into a Saab (yes same item number) Sorted insurance out, went to car next am & a Tyre is flat, had that sorted then could not engage any gears. called T/ standards (as most know it is the CAB) They advised to reject the car & get an engineers report. After a few Emails I got " see you in court chappie sold as seen" etc. I can prove he is a trader as the same item number has 70+ alterations to it, as in the Renault became a Saab, so a citron turned into a cavalier etc etc. Engineers reports says it is basically scrap. (£200 for the report) Also the VIN numbers are missing, gone from under bonnet & gone from inside widescreen, a sticker inside the b post shows all ok but you can have them made for £10, told police I could have a ringer & they were not bothered (actually said I should have spent the £200 on an engineer before I gave him the money !!! HUH The V5 is in original owners name & complete (ive written to DVLA) I managed to speak to prev owner telling him he must tell DVLA but im not sure if he was BSing me or just did not understand. 2 X registered letters were returned to me saturday last, a Miss Jones says please stop sending me these letters I have no knowledge etc etc etc. A search shows that Miss jones had David Jones living with her at last address, so this is BS too. My GF knocked Miss Jones door & he answered saying no david here & miss jones is out. I have a photo of him so can confirm it is him. I have sent 3rd & final warning to pay up or court action etc (no answer yet) So I can prove he is a trader, a simple google showed many cars sold (but never a feedback on ebay for any of them. So as to yet I have his name & address. a photo proof he is a trader proof he has lived with "miss jones" for a long time at 2 address (brother & sister or married ?) What are my best options next ? Do I have the car transported back to him with proof of delivery (I need it out of the way) Will TS ever get back to me & do what we pay them for ?. Will I get an order for my money (& costs inured & interest) Or do I just drive it through his from door & let "the lads" deal with him ? OK only joking last 2 lines but I feel like doing it Advice & opinions please. Chris (( I was going to add an icon but could not find a mad axeman chopping off the head of a rouge trader))
