Advice on specialist PPI
Discussion
Can somebody advice me the situation with regards to a close friend of mine.
He recently purchased a used Porsche privately following a PPI via what was supposed to be a reputable specialist.
He arranged for the seller to organise to get the PPI done and the air conditioning fixed by a specialist and then if all okay he would buy the car.
Seller produced an invoice claiming system repaired & charged up & a PPI, indicating nothing untoward for a relatively old 911 (51 plate)
He has now got the car and not done many miles (150ish) & found the AC to be blowing hot air.
He has made contact with the specialist to ask what they did to repair it and they claimed they just topped it up with gas before the PPI was done as the seller had asked them to.
They also said that it needs a new suction line and cant be repaired its an engine out job basically.
Why didn't they mention such an issue on the PPI then?
They also claim that, as he didn't organise the PPI or the AC repair it has nothing to do with the buyer as the contract was with the guy selling the car at the time.
My friend has produced an email indicating that he had asked the seller to do the PPI and get the aircond sorted as part of the condition of him buying the car.
Surely they should have mentioned in a PPI that the AC needed a fair amount of work carried out?
The garage has "apparently" spoken to trading standards who have claimed that the buyer has no claim as the contract was with the guy selling the car.
Sorry for the waffle but does he have a case, as he would have probably bought an alternative car if it had been indicated on the PPI.
