The cynic in me says that he has swapped your decent box for the broken box in his old car and now wants a refund.

Reply that you’re sorry to hear that his car has developed an issue but there’s nothing you can do to help then block him.

He's trying it on. Seems to be more and more common these days.

Tell him you wont be paying to fix his car, and block his number.

As long as you were honest in the advert then you have nothing to worry about.

If he wanted warranty he should have upped his budget and bought from a dealer.

What was his driving like in the test drive? He's either gone home ramming each gear in and screwed it or as said swapped it out.

You already gave him money towards any future costs by dropping £500 of the price tell him to not call you again about problems with his car.
