There is no 14 day law. There is no difference with issues whether it be a DSA or in person.
View it then buy it online or if the videos, spec and costs are right, arrange a ppi. Then buy it online. What's to stop you doing that? As long as they don't know its youHow much better would someone do viewing a car in person?
No 14 day protection.
Rose tinted specs.
I'd say you're more likely to end up in a pickle, yet the difference might be, people not communicating it clearly.
Given your website implies you sell cars, I hate to call this one, but are you sure? Distant selling regulations were disbanded in 2014, but replacing them is consumer contracts. You cannot be in person for any part of the sale (almost) and as long as it is internet only, there is a right to return for a full refund within 14 days. No quibble....
Or are you referring to sale of goods act and fit for purpose?
And even then; when its your car, and you were the one to completely disassemble it, and it's a Maserati....even after all that, you are a little, just a very little mind, but still a little relieved !!
Pointless post deletedI may have misread your penultimate post to this one, hence trying to word the prompt hopefully with the appropriate respect given your experience.
That may not be taking into consideration the issues with MOT for example. This might cause them a little bit of aggro, however, got another call in 5 minutes.
I am to the despair of everyone attempting to keep the car. If the amount of money offered is right, then getting the car up to scratch is doable. That will be my decision at that point and if it backfires, then so be it.
I'll keep you posted.

That said, how sure are you that this car needs a new subframe?
At the end of the day it is up to you if the deal is right. If you are spannering it yourself then cost will be significantly less although parts won't unless you find alternative sources ie fiat alfa etc. or used.I may have misread your penultimate post to this one, hence trying to word the prompt hopefully with the appropriate respect given your experience.

That’s a pretty unfair comment in my book. I had a third party PPI done by a reputable company (Nuvola) The above mentioned items were flagged up, a deal was struck with the private seller based on the red flags, and I then took the car to AV for a second inspection and to discuss what work was required. AV already had my 360 Modena in the workshop for an engine rebuild.. I know Aldous very well and he would in no way pressure you or give you resale value anxiety.I wouldn't expect anything less. Dealers and specialists feed off of resale value anxiety.
I could write a list like that now and I'm not a specialist or a mechanic.

I was merely trying to show you potential expensive issues on what was in general considered a decent car.
Good luck with it and that’s the end of my comments on this thread.
I think we should all applaud Mr Spoons, he’s doing a very honourable thing, sacrificing himself to keep some unsuspecting punter from buying a lemonI may have misread your penultimate post to this one, hence trying to word the prompt hopefully with the appropriate respect given your experience.
