Hi all,

Looking for some advice - I recently traded a car for a new one at a local dealership - the car I traded was a cat c (stated on v5) the dealer was aware of this when the exchange was made and consequently a price was offered reflecting it.
Now, the cat c car is vic approved and 100% road worthy so no problems there. The trouble is this piece of st dealer has now advertised the car on auto trader as "selling on behalf of the last owner" basically his way of not having to declare it as a cat c and consequently pricing it accordingly.

Does this mean I am liable if the next owner buys it without knowing its a cat c?

My main concerns are naturally copping the blame for an under hand dodgy car dealer, but also I don't want to see someone getting ripped off buying it for too much money.
As said if someone is to buy the car, I am not concerned about safety issues as it is completely road worthy but don't want them losing out

Where do I stand with this? Shall I just ignore it or should I act?
