Hi All,
Just looking for some advice. I recently sold my car privately. The person who was interested in the car called and asked could we meet so they could have a look at it. We duely met up and the buyer brought their mechanic to look at the car as well. I produced the service history and also a receipt for a service that I just had done on the car. They were delighted with it and made an offer straight away which I accepted.
We met the next day and signed all documentation and exchanged money and keys. Later that week I recieved some text messages asking me about a noise in the car. I assured the buyer that I was not aware of a noise in the car in all the time I had been driving it.
The buyer subsequently had the car checked and claims that the engine mounting is gone and needs to be replaced. I received a phone call basically telling me that I had to pay for these repairs. I dont believe its within my remit to pay for repairs on a car that is no longer mine. Should the "mechanic" who looked at the car not have spotted the fault and recommend that it be fixed before their client would purchase the car..?
Any advice much appreciated!
