private seller or dealer?
please can some1 help me..i recently purchased a 2nd hand car,i asked if it had been involved in an accident and i was told no,on checking the v5 b4 i signed it there was no mention whatsoever about accident damage..on receiving the v5 back from dvla it clearly states this car was accident damaged..i know i wouldnt have leg 2 stand on if this was a private seller,but this is where is gets suspicious..i contacted prev owner and to no avail..then i received a letter from him yesterday stating he is not a car dealer(i never mentioned this 2 him)when i went 2 view car it was a lady who i delt with as she said he was away working,he stated in his letter he gave her �200 commission through the sale of the car..they are also selling other cars,which to me makes him a trader..he also said it clearly stated on v5 it was accident damaged when i signed 4 it..i know for a fact it was NOT..i have witnesses to this also.the car was also advertised with new exhaust and working air con..no new exhaust and the air con doesnt seem 2 work..where do i stand legally with this
