Think your quest will be a bit more credible if you give some details, make, model, age, milage, price paid, how long since deal done, what's gone wrong etc.

Paid 3500 for a 2000 vogue with gas conversion 6 months ago. Bought of a trader on ebay who had 100% feedback.. Stupidly i never viewed the car as i couldnt get down there. So phoned him and he assured me car was absolutly mint and sailed through recent mot, so i agreed the price with him. Anyway when i was due to pick thr car up i couldnt get a lift down so he said he would deliver it in the week for me.
Great i thought!
After letting me down twice it finally got delivered by 2 lads who worked for him. This is where probs really started. Cars condition was not as good as he said, a few rust scabs some dodgy paint work. Anyway my fault i thought i should have viewed it ;( then the guys said they didnt have the paperwork but would post it up along with the spare key!
Well after countless phone calls and promises the history and mot log book etc never came!
Then they just stopped answering phone and now its not in use anymore.
Applied for log book and got it through.... Checked mot history and was shocked as the most recent one had a fail sheet and an advisory sheet as long as my arm.... And im 6ft 3! Including advising engine was running rough, which to be fair i didnt notice it was untill last week! So basically ive been done and im not happy

or go and see him with a car full of your biggest mates.
I went alone once to sort out a mechanic who had fooked up a job back when I first got my first range rover, got £200 of £500 back - not bad but could have been better if the odds were in my favour me thanks
i had to do the same when i was 19 i bought an e30 bmw 325i off a local trader had it a week and there were loads of problems mainly the fuel tank dropping on the prop shaft! i rang the guy who at the time was my dads mate and told him and he wasnt bothered so i said i dont care who you are ill come down with a torque wrench and the guy phoned my dad and said i was threatening him and my dad said if i didnt have my money back in 5 days he was coming down to sort him out and so next day i got m money some of these bastards who make a living from others mis-fortune need a good pasting and 9 times out of ten they wont go to the police because they dont want the attention from them

This one used to be owned and raced by our local gsf car parts branch it had certificates for best handling in class at silverstone and several others along with a couple of a magazine features it was a bit of a beast and was only doing about 9mpg so i was glad it broke really
