Re: Ripped off, what to do?
read into that what you want.
that said, if I believed everything a car dealer ever said, then there'd be zero need for a PPI ! - unless the car was sold unseen, surely an untrained eye could tell if a car had been restored or not. and if so, surely you simply walk away from the purchase.?
I mean I don't know the specifics, but unless there were pictures of another car... buyer beware, no? also 40k for a restored Porsche? - not many at that price - which one was it, a 944 ha ha ha. if something looks like a bargain, it probably isn't.

£40k was probably a fair price for something restored and sold over 10 years ago????
Talking car prices in general here for a 911, not the car in question, whatever model 911 it was.

No. Very much no.buyer beware, no?
Any seller has to accurately describe a car.
A dealer has to accurately describe it and make sure it works properly for at least 6 months.

Re: Ripped off, what to do?
I am being cautious, as not sure what I can say. If it is the case I know of, it was a SC Targa and the 40k was for a finished, functioning car supplied by the dealer.
Note I am not involved in this in any way.

Re: Ripped off, what to do?
Then it would be a case of careless statements by the vendor. It sounds like in NI law you have to be careful not to oversell your product or else be guilty of the crime of fraud. That might be a good law for consumers, a bad one for overenthusiastic sales people.Disco wrote:
