Good luck

I remember reading this but can't remember the details. Something about a cheap big merc IIRC, can't summon what went wrong though. Will the original thread be getting re-posted or is it gone forever?

Clocked wasn't it? Or a dubious service history. Do report back tomorrow, I was wondering how this went.

Not clocked, it was missing service history IIRC, so the OP rejected the car, bloke on eBay resold it for a much lower price to someone else and tried to sue OP for the difference in price between OPs winning bid and what it supposedly sold for to the other bloke. Was a while ago though so I might have got it wrong.

Missed this, but interested to know the outcome.

Looks like the chap has his own entrance at the court, so be careful!

I think the basic premis went like this:

Op "wins" car on e-bay, bid based on advertised details of the car. Asks seller to supply information regarding service history (having made his own checks and found a discrepancy), seller wants money before Op is given this information. Op eventually pulls out of deal.

Seller then claims to have sold car at a lower price, and is chasing the Op for the shortfall in the SCC, claiming e-bay contract is binding.

There was more to it, but I think you get the idea
