Solicitor recommendations to pursue a car trader
Discussion
It's a 2005 costing 5500. I done all my usual checks for insurance Markers, mot check, spoke to audi and firmed up the stamped book.
I have a feeling it need's 6 injectors... search pre 2007 audio 3.0 v6 tdi smoke cold start up.
I spoke to a solicitor today that told me to do the donkey work, wait for the audi report and he'll sort it
Guy told me he was a trader and currently has several cars for sale on eBay therefore, I assume Mr taxman knows of his trading status.
Comedy of errors for sure.
Edit; fkin predictive text!

Can you contact the previous owner on the V5C? 2 things - they could give you the name and address of the trader if they sold it to him (maybe he bought it at auction or similar so maybe not) and they could tell you whether they know anything about the fault.
If this guy is dodgy he may well be wise to people trying to turn up to his home so you might need to extra clever. Maybe be there are 2 cars in his stock that interest a friend - he won't be able to drive them both to somewhere they can be viewed.

I think I saw the previous owner still wandering round the station car park looking for where he left his carIf this guy is dodgy he may well be wise to people trying to turn up to his home so you might need to extra clever.

Be careful, the solicitor costs could quickly exceed the repair costs. I would not use a solicitor for this kind of claim. You would be unlikely to recover any of your legal costs. I have a feeling it need's 6 injectors... search pre 2007 audio 3.0 v6 tdi smoke cold start up.

IANAL, but I would make sure that you have it in writing to the seller that you have offered them the chance to repair the car before you get anybody else to repair it.
I can't see the sums involved here making a professional solicitor worth the investment.
Just how bad is this smoke - its a 10 year old car. Enough to render the car unfit for purpose? Unless its MOT fail, then I'd say you little chance.
