'Trade' sales invoice

[KarlMac]

Quick one chaps.

Just bought a car (£2700 purchase) car is straight and fine, but on getting home I've noticed I've got a trade sales invoice and he's written 'motors' after my wifes name. I'm assuming this in some attempt to exempt himself from some warranties or a tax fiddle?

Anyone provide any more reasons?

(Editted for speeling).

attempt to wriggle out of the responsibilities of a trader pure and simple

That doesn't look good if you experience any problems. He's trying to wriggle out already........

As above-he's trying to get out of any liabilities should the car develop a fault.

My next action would be to highlight this in writing to him (so you have a record too) and ask him to "correct his error" by providing an invoice made out properly.

So he gave you the full logbook then?

The trade sale is because he doesn't want any comeback, and the ridiculous 'motors' after your wife's name is because a trader can't sell to a member of the public as a trade sale. Give him a chance to put it right. What a dick though.

I would hazard a guess that he already knows there is a fault..............

I was just about to post the same thing.

What he has done is quite naughty and your local trading standards could be informed as he is miss informed on his obligations.

Best I have seen was when I bought a late plate van with a mate from what turned out to be a travellers site in the middle of nowhere in Scotland...

Paid for it, he wrote an invoice, I read and signed it, he then wrote all over it sold as seen and all sorts of nonsense on it afterwards.

Had a good look round the car, driven in 45 miles home and had a decent test drive, nothing seems to be immediately obvious in terms of fault. Got back home and found the car is missing its log book/instruction manual (V5 was completed at the dealers). No previous receipts other than the MOT cerfificate and service book. Guy was quite honest and said thats how he picked the car up at the auction.

Fingers crossed theres nothing major but might take it to my local garage to have a once over.

Unless it was very very cheap you must be mad.

From his point of view I can't believe he bothered as it's not as if any normal person would buy from a ***** (member of the travelling fraternity) and seriously expect any comeback if the wheels fell off half a mile down the road and the engine blew up and the police informed you it was stolen.
