When you sell your used car then it is must to take care of some vital pointers. In your case of you are facing such a problem, the only thing that will work better then anything is one very humble & polite conversation. Try to explain them it was not a part of deal and they must do a cross-check at the time when they are paying for that used car.

Yes, I'm having a bit of a slow day too.

Best I've come up with so far is a two year old thread about a kitten that's refusing to use a litter tray grumpy

Given 'she' has a link to a blog site in 'her' profile, and it makes little sense, I'm calling spam.

Not answering the thread as well its really old but this advice may help

I sold a car last year and when i sold it i wrote out an invoice detailing the new buy has seen the car and is buying it sold as seen. Then i got the buyer to sign the paper and date it.

A few days later i get a call from said buyer who said there is a fault with the tracking as it it going sideways ( i knew there wasnt as it was motd and services just few days before and even on the test drive it was fine) lo and behold a letter arrives from thier solicitor demanding i pay towards the repair ir refund thier client, to which i emailed a copy of the letter i made the buyer sign stating he declared all was well at the sale and well ive not heard anything since.

Yes the thread's old but this is what I do when selling a car:

1) Download this: https://www.theaa.com/~/media/the-aa/pdf/motoring-...
2) Print 2
3) Fill out both
4) Buyer fills their details out on both
5) I keep one, buyer keeps one

Friend had this....

He sold a cracking but old RAV4 diesel to a bloke who ragged the thing ... Turbo variable vanes stuck and he wanted his money back. My mate like a mug paid for the turbo. I wouldn’t have.

From a legal standpoint the buyers have absolutely zero comeback.

Commonly held belief, but not completely accurate. The wording of a private sale ad should be accurate, so if you say it's in perfect condition etc etc you could be taken to small claims court.

This.

Better just sticking to the facts.

For example.
