Emm...he has literally been sued for damages. Read the OP.

Then read s51 of sale of goods act (if indeed you can read, i have my doubts)

This is a private sale you thick moose.
You seem obsessed with SOGA and CRA etc, like you are some kind of expert.
In what I do not know?
"Car is no longer for sale, change of circumstance", end of story.
The OP does not need to do any more than this.

[quote=ging84]Car was advertised to the buyer on a site which clearly states

for motor vehicles and real estate (property) listed in the Classified Ad format, a bid or offer is not binding, but expresses a buyer's serious interest in the item

Give me a reason to believe it did not apply to this agreement.

Even if it did, so? He accepted the offer!

And? SOGA S51 is not limited to consumer contracts.

I am literally a lawyer who has read the legislation just this morning. You are a car salesman who hasn't and doesn't have a clue what you are talking about.

Oh and "car is no longer for sale' is not going to cut it as a defence to a claim for damages before a court. You 'thick moose'.

Tell him the gearbox has just let go, or the engine is now knocking its tits off, does he still want to go ahead and complete?
Err, I bet the answer will be NO.

Err, it's a bit late for that.

Try to keep up.

Now you are contradicting yourself.
Jeeeeesss.
"Loss of bargain"
What a load of dribble.

In an ebay auction. This aint an ebay auction.


Keep. Up.

You're making yourself look like a halfwit.

Err, I bet the answer will be NO.

If the gearbox had very conveniently let go, why would buyer B have bought it?

Mexman, you deal with messers day in day out as part of your business, it's an accepted issue with "being in the trade" as no one in it ever pursues as messer, probably they could in some circumstances, but I suspect everyone has felt it's too costly to do so.

Literally a lawyer, is that a real one or a literal one?
Perhaps you should represent the "buyer" then and see if this Mickey Mouse claim for "loss of bargain" is a goer then.
Yeah, Good luck.

As I said, stick to selling cars.

Err no, the OP still owns it,
Anything could happen between now and the "sale"
Keep up at the back.

You don't get it do you. HE ISN'T SUING TO COMPLETE THE SALE.

Put your pathetic expertise where you gob is then.
I'm sure the OP will pass on the buyers details for you to represent him.
Brave enough?

errrr no, keep up at the back............... this was all 3 months ago and the OP sold the car to Buyer B having already accepted an offer from Buyer A.

As far as we know Buyer B has been happily driving around with the wind in his hair and the roar of the exhaust in his ears all summer!

Why don't you represent OP then. You'd lose him the case in an instant.

I'd stick to selling cars not giving legal advice.

I don't needs any advice from you thank you.
If you thing you can "force" someone to sell something then you are a bigger fool than you make yourself out to be on here.
Just the same as the "buyer" pulling out on the OP.
st happens, dismiss them as an idiot and move on.

You always come across as a bit of a bell who just likes to ignore legislation that’s relevant to car selling.

You are also advocating lying to get out of a contract.

I pity your customers.

You need to read the thread and understand what is being sued for. It is not completion of the sale.

Your other thread is very helpful and genuinely adds to PH. Your thoughts in providing legal advice here are way, way off the mark.

The ebay listing had expired, according to the first post, so the subsequent communications would not be party to that?
Anyhow, the comms after the listing finished culminated an exchange of comms that would appear to have formed a contract, so I would suggest that any reference to ebay is a red herring. IANAL.

My legislation is totally different to a private eBay sale.
I'm not asking you to buy from me, am I?
