Hi I bought a Discovery around 6 months ago and a nice one it was too (54 plate ). Top of the range ES and paid cash from a guy on Autotrader. Decided after about 4 months I needed a Defender again and found a Truck Cab at a garage and we did a deal on a PX plus cash for the Defender.
All has been rosy for a month or so until yesterday I had a call from the garage to tell me that the Discovery had come up as a CAT D damaged ( SEPT 2010 before I bought it ) and they can't sell it to someone on HP as its a write off. Obviously I didn't know it was CAT D and I can't find the number of the previous owner ( the garage asked me for info). They are a bit miffed and starting to sound a bit arsey towards me, obviously thinking that I knew it was!
I am still waiting for the log book on the new Defender ( I have new keepers supliment anyway )but I have had a confirmation from DVLA that the Discovery is not mine anymore.
What do you think I should do, can the garage come and take my Defender away or is it their fault for not checking ( said first HPI came back clear but 2nd didn't)
Any help appreciated.
