Do your checks on the car & buy on condition, treat it as a private sale & go from there.

Anyone can 'check' a vehicle, do an hpi search and 'partner' with finance or warranty companies (otherwise known as filling in applications on behalf of the buyer). Forming a limited company can reduce an individual's financial risk and liability compared to registration as a sole trader. A company can be registered anywhere and many are registered at home addresses and there may be tax advantages for doing so. Many addresses have multiple companies registered at them (a service accountancy firms often provide). There is no a priori reason for the operation to be more or less reliable run from a residential address than a nearby portakabin.

It's all good, I messaged today and asked him the question but he gave a roundabout reason without a direct answer, then messaged me this evening to say someone had put a 1000 deposit on it which holds the car for 10 days so that made me even more suspicious as most places are 100 refundable, so looking elsewhere now 😀

Car sales has changed, it is tough to run a big show room that people don’t visit….people shop on line then collect.

Lots of traders work from home.

Why only a 3 month warranty ?

Consumer Rights Act 2015 faults within 6 months of purchase are usually "pre existing" and your (the seller) responsibility to rectify

It may doesn’t have to be limited so may not have a company number.

3 Months is standard across the board.

A dealer does not have to give any warranty. Many give 3 months, others 6 and others more.

Just looked up one of my favourite traders and under warranty it just says "we don’t have unhappy customers, we promise the car will be great". No other warranty listed.

Your consumer rights and a warranty on a vehicle are two different things
