Bad news Mike. I had sent you an email but don't know if you got it with hotmail probs. I suggested a couple of other places you could look at.
I would have thought that by taking your signed V5 and keys, etc that that would have been indication of an agreement. If he is now offering a reduced price then that car is still yours and I wouldn't have thought you would have to pay for any work done as you (the owner) did not authorise any of the work.
As a by the by, when I sold the Audi to a dealer a price was agreed just by looking at the car. When I p/xed the bike a price was agreed over the phone. The bike shop did try and knock me down when he saw it but I reminded him that he offered a higher price and he stuck to it in the end. I think the thought of losing a sale played a part in that though.

My thoughts are two
Option 1 : he agrees the sale when he takes the V5 - therefor enow the owner and can do what work to it he (as the owner wishes)- therefore MUST pay the price agreed at time of "sale"
Option 2: Hes not the owner and was merely carrying out a preparatory act by taking in the vehicle - doesnt yet won it and therefore YOU are still the owner
Works carried out to YOUR vehiucle without your consent are therefore not your liability

I remember getting made redundant about 10+ years ago. Just bought a Car and a House. Was a total downer. My point being that it turned out to be the best thing that happened. I had the oppertunity to go freelance or get another job. So went freelance on a very good contract, got a bigger house and a Maser. Been doing it ever since. Not trying to rub anything in. Just hope you find your better job
