But he pointed out, if he passes it on, as a trader he's legally bound to provide it with a 3 month warranty.
I can't believe there are people still saying this.Amused2death said:
I thought the Paypal thing didn't apply to motors? Can anyone confirm this?
Yes, sorry, you're correct. There is an exception in their rules for the category.Cheeky buggers still auto-select it by default if you create a listing though, so I suspect a lot of people wouldn't spot it.

No, he isn't.
I was under the impression that under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, any trader selling a car had to provide a 3-month warranty. Mr Taxpayer said:
Not all of it. But I have read s20(8).
Just to be clear, do you mean Section 20, paragraph 8? Which reads:"Whether or not the consumer has a duty to return the rejected goods, the trader must bear any reasonable costs of returning them, other than any costs incurred by the consumer in returning the goods in person to the place where the consumer took physical possession of them."
I'm not following how that relates to having to give a 3 month warranty on a used car?

With or without a 3mo warranty...
But that's about the process of a return, not your right to do so, or a warranty etc.
It just says that if you agree or are entitled to return something, the seller should meet any costs of doing so outside of you just taking it back to where you got it?
So if you collected the car from a dealer chain's local branch, you are entitled to return it there, they can't demand you return it to a different site 100 miles away (unless they cover your cost to do so), or charge a £500 "restocking fee" or such nonsense.
Dick-all about a warranty agreement there.

OP - What's the latest on this?
After me politely telling him where to get off, he told me by text he would "get his money back one way or another". I told him that as far as I was concerned had met my legal obligations and that if he still believed he had a problem that he should seek redress through the Small Claims Court, and helpfully gave the www.moneyclaimonline.gov.uk weblink. I also told him that any further threats against me or my property would be regarded as a matter for the Police. I had one more text telling me that he wasn't threatening me and have heard nothing since then.
