A foolish friend bought a car from an individual who sells used cars from his house. Within about an hours driving the engine developed a major fault and after a visit to a mechanic he was told the car is a heap, in terrible condition underneath and shouldnt be on the road. To make matters worse the car is UK reg and my friend was to sort out the VRT.
Does anyone know if he has any comeback on this, the "dealers" line is it was fine when he sold it, and claims not to be a dealer although he has a sales website and a registered business name. He has become quite agressive and hangs up when contacted.
The guy is impulsive and was foolish to buy the car but can it even legally be sold on without having the VRT paid.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated on how to handle this or where to go from here.
