At least you're gettin your money back mate! Should have got him to pay for a forged engine!!! Car looked nice!!

[Kieran_CTR]

Seriously bad luck dude but better to have that happen when it did rather than 1 week after buying it.

Yeah I thought the same, just can't believe it but getting my money back so will be looking for another one but haven't got a car now

interested how your "solicitor" mate thinks you are entitled to your money back regardless assuming this is a private sale, trader yes but private seller without warranties or guarantees with a proper receipt i'm not sure. Only legal side to private sale is being the owner, car being as per title, be as per description and also be roadworthy ( legal to drive roadworthy not tyres are close to limit)

once you drive off thats your lot,

So by rights the seller could have told him to poke off? Any idea what actuly caused the head gasket to fail? Waterpump died? No water?

[J@mes]

Rights are minimal in a private sale. In the real world they're quite minimal in any car sale unless a new purchase.

[160mph_boy]

Seller could have been a cock. i don't even know what you could have done if he had been tbh.

Luckily for you, he done a commendable thing and refunded you, even offering to fund toward the repair was good spirited of him. things like that can happen at any given time with cars and could be down to many different reasons for a failure to cause overheating and head gasket to go.

He could of played that card but again... seems like a good bloke to me.

Your extremely lucky to get your money back.. Just goes to show there is some good guys left in this world

[bluntcap]

On one hand it sucks, on the other it's sweet as you can start from square one again with the same amount of money. What's tickling your fancy?

[Stevo M81]

Unlucky matey but as blunty says now you can have some fun looking again :bigthumb:

[Kieran_CTR]

Yeah very true blunty, still scooby hunting, they is one perfect one but it's over 6 hour drive away sadly so it's way too for far to travel for I have been mega unlucky but like some say was lucky he gave me my money back without a fight, so if anyone can help find me a impreza wrx blobeye in blue [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Told you the 2.5 was weak and the head gasket is one of the main problems with it.the head studs stretch over time with boost hence blown gaskets.

Get a 2005/2006 widetrack blob eye.much better and stronger car/engine.
