They are officers of the court. They have total unshakeable integrity.

If you really want to give him a fright tell him you are going to let the IRD know. the powers they have to crawl up you and investigate are rather powerful

Be weary of what lawyers tell you. They are more concerned about how much $$$ they can make off you more than anything else. If the CGA does apply to him then take it up with Disputes Tribunal and also give a call to IRD and give them a heads up about their activities. Also be sure to keep a record of all communications you have had with them.
Btw, did you get a full proper independent mechanical inspection done on the car prior to purchase!

The lawyer was from community law she has no reason to lie as they are a free service. The car was brought at a fixed price no auctions. No we were stupid and trusted the scumbags word that the car was in perfect condition also we couldnt really afford to get it checked we obviously now realise we should have just done it anyway. Him and his family are all lieing one minute its his gfs dad that is registerd then she quickly deleted then comment and says its nothing to do with her dad then hes saying the car was in nobodys name. VERY dodgy

Unfortunately most dealers in NZ are not registered dealers! And worse still, no one enforces the rules. Most are the dealers who masquerade as private sellers and you would never know, but I personally know of atleast one major car yard who are not registered as motor dealers. Again, the powers that be are not interested in doing anything about it. Just look at t he 'list' of banned traders on the commerce commission website. I think there's 3 listed for the whole of NZ right now.

OP lets see if I have this straight. YOU failed to get any form of mechanical inspection carried out on the car. You failed to take the car for a sufficient test drive Now you have realised that YOU made a big mistake its time to wriggle out of the situation. Why are you accepting NO personal responsibility for this!

Sounds a bit harsh from you Kaz! He bought if off a dealer (whether registered or not, as you know the law does not discriminate) as a classified sale, and it had a catastrophic failurethe next time he drives it, almost certainly from a pre existing fault. Sounds pretty clear to me. I'm sure you have many customers (as I do) that do not get pre checks or sufficient test drives conducted and we have to stand by our cars. If his story is correct, it is a clear case. The problem is getting money out of people like that.

Toby you are entirely missing my point. Read the whole thread and at NO point does the OP even hint that THEY made an error in judgement. I'm not saying the guy that sold the vehicle wasn't a crook. What utterly frustrates me is people accepting NO personal responsibility. When their error in judgement becomes clear its everybody elses fault. If the OP had just once admitted they made mistakes I'd take a different view. But near as I can see its "I stuffed up and need someone else to blame" but not actually admitting any fault. If I make a mistake the buck stops here.
