its always better to communicate in case it goes further.I would reply
'As per your last message, I sold the car in good faith.
You fully inspected the car on an extended test and had all opportunities to not complete the sale if you were not fully happy.
You decided to complete the sale and therefore the car was sold, caveat emptor as a private sale. I therefore offer no refund as the car was sold with no implied warranty, fully tested and inspected before sale completion.
Yours AVFC

The buyer might be uneducated when it comes to private purchases, and think he’s entitled. He isn’t.
Do not offer any money.
Another perfect example of why I took the hit and sold my wife's car to a dealer.
Two weeks of putting up with random idiots calling, texting and visting. All of them offering well below the advertised price and asking stupid questions that the advert had already covered had they bothered to spend 30 seconds reading it..
Never again, life's to short.

I do hate selling cars. Such a ball ache. Two weeks of putting up with random idiots calling, texting and visting. All of them offering well below the advertised price and asking stupid questions that the advert had already covered had they bothered to spend 30 seconds reading it..

Luckily I’ve been used to this having been in the motor trade for 27 years and dealing with consumers and the law, so communication is important. State facts in your response, be polite, and suggest that as the buyer saw and tested the vehicle, they made a conscious decision to purchase based upon their own evaluation and that you gave no misleading information, nor any guarantee towards future use. If they persist (as in my case), give them every opportunity to “cease and desist” before they take it too far, and if they won’t, explain that you will only respond to their solicitors letters if they wish to pursue. That (usually) shuts them up.
