Sold a car cheap, the buyer is now complaining about problems very much in keeping with the age and price paid. Offered him a flll refund but he doean't want a refund. Can I get him to sigh something that he has turnded down a full refund and he has no right to complain because he refused a refund!

What car was it! and what are the problems! at the end of the day, as long as it was a private sale, there is nothing the buyer can do about it. He should have inspected the car properly before he bought it.

If you have email messages that show what you offered that will be enough.

You shouldn't have even offered a full refund.
If you're happy that you didn't grossly misrepresent the vehicle just tell him the vehicle wasn't sold 'as new' and to just stuff off.

Just tell him to go away.I ran into this problem and it went as far as disputes.Offered to refund purchase price on the spot as long as car returned in exactly the same state as when driven away at purchase.He lost i won as obviously he could not return the car in the same state.

lol such people crack me up "I paid $300 for this car and it's not perfect, fix it!". Of course if the car was completely different to what was being told/advertised then that's a different manner!

seriously, we were having this discussion at work this morning. no wonder so many "running" cars are headed to the scrap metal yard. You know the car goes, you know it has some quirks, and isn't perfect, but its been good to you. then you sell it and get handed this. the "oh the car has issues, fix it scenario". The workmate i was chatting with commented - yep, their worth $250 at the scrap metal yard. Its worth draining the oil and water out, have a party, take friendly bets, start it up, brick on the loud pedal, and see how long it lasts. Dereg it and sell it for scrap metal. It got me thinking how often we see these threads "sold a cheap car, now they want it fixed." Im not one for wanton destruction, but it does make yoiu wonder - we live in a "disposable world", is the car going to be a "classic"! and is it really worth all those hassles.
