You are a private seller so there Sale of Goods, Supply of Services Act doesn't apply to you.
The buyer has no comeback

However, you did sell the car and it wasn't even registered to you.
So I'm not suprised the garage were the ones who received the solicitors letter.
The buyer may end up sueing the dealer as they were the registered owner and the garage will pass the buck to you

It's a mess.

I don't know about a V5 but next time you buy or sell a car you post the certificate to Shannon on the day in the presence of the other party. It's not something you "forget"

And don't be a pushover. You gave into all the demands so the buyer doesn't respect you and thinks they can get away with anything.
Some people just aren't tough enough to negotiate, I'm know I'm not much good at it :)
Maybe your brother could handle your car sales in future
 
Shannon doesn't apply. The car was sold from Northern Ireland and it's the current owner's responsibility to register and pay VRT.

As an aside, do you have contact details for the current owner in Dublin. I'd like to contract his haggling services the next time I'm buying a car.

It is confusing. He bought the car a few years ago yet he leaves it into a garage to get it taxed in April this year
Sorry but I'm still confused, did he drice the car untaxed for a few years or was it taxed by the garage while he was driving it?
Maybe I'm not reading this right I don't know but it doesn't look right to me.
 
I'm one of the do-gooders who questioned the OPs motives. Given that he gave his location as Louth refers to "up north" and the UK as a foreign jurisdiction to where he currently lives this was all to my mind indicating that he was living in Louth, purchased the car in the UK and used exclusively in the Republic. I could only go on what he posted, given the length of his posting those salient points might have been included there. So I'm not going to apologise for bringing those points up.

By the way I also agree that this should be moved back to the main board so that the OP can respond.

Well said.
 
Regardless of where the OP is located, or what his tax liabilities are....

How desperately did he want to get rid of the car if he rolled over sooo many times to the arrogant and unreasonable demands of a pushy buyer ?
