Sold My Car Private And The Buyer Is Threatening Legal Action
I recently sold me car. It was in perfect working order with no faults. The buyer even tested the car and signed a 'sold as seen' receipt. The next day he complained to me via email that the car keeps intermittently cutting out. I told him that I have never experienced any such problem with the car, as I never have. He has now told me that he has seeked legal advise and that he wants me to get the fault repaired, as his expert tells him it is highly likely to had been an old/existing fault.
Can you advise where I legally stand with such a situation?

he probably has a mate in a garage who will fake receipts for labour and parts for this 'fault'
as others have said, he should have had it checked before, not after
if he hasnt got a mate, he may even be trying to get you to buy a replacement part for anoteher vehicle ... hes put the dodgy part in your car, and put the good one in another identical car... presumably an expensive part ... who knows

It could also be that it is a 'new car' to him and he is not driving it properly, we tend to get very used to how our own car drives and it could well be that your style of driving has not highlighted this problem but he is driving it differently and it is cutting out because he is not driving it the way you got used to driving it, sounds daft but it is a truism
