I bought a 2 year old diesel auto estate car at an auction which at first turned out to be a real bargain, £5000 cheaper than the book price. In my rush though to buy the car, I failed to notice that the car had on its ticket that it was sold as seen and that it was an insurance total loss. I know I am an idiot, believe me I dont need reminding, I parted with £3400 for it.

The problems so far is that the auto gear box needs replacing at a cost (for a reconditioned one!) of £2300 including tax and the mechanic that looked at it told me it wasnt worth fixing the gear box.

I tried to put it back in the auction but no one bidded for it. I am thinking of putting it into a different auction but I would feel sorry for the next sucker that buys it, and an insurance job wouldnt pay out the money I’ve paid for it I was told reliably. I am so gutted, but there must be a way I can recover at least a bit of my money back somehow. I can’t take it back to the auction, I bought it sold as seen.
My mechanic told me that repairing/replacing the gear box would be a total waste of time and money. It goes forward ok, but doesn’t go backward at all. It’s due its first MOT in May, and it would never pass it.

Ok so my car was repossessed about 2 weeks ago, thankfully i managed to get enough money to get my car back tomorrow from the towing yard about 1 hour away from where i live.

BUT the original towing company that towed my car before transferring it to another towing yard CLEANED out my car of all my belongings and other items. They told me it costs per bag per day. I had 4 bags of items and it’s been 28 days so total is 280+ invetory fee is 0.

Can they legally do that?? I pretty much went through hell to get the funds to get my car back.. i can’t afford this. And if i wait any longer i will NEVER be able to get my stuff back. I had a 0 video camera plus clothes and other things in my car.

Can they legally do this? OR any help/suggestions on what i should do?

Thanks,

I bought a used car from a dealer in Syracuse, NY with a bad transmission. It is a 93 LeBaron with 135,000 miles on it. It drove off the lot OK then the transmission went a few miles later. He’s been "working on it" for OVER 2 MONTHS!! He continues to delay me with new excuses every week. He won’t give me my money back and yet he won’t admit the car is no good. Other than the NY State DMV, Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau are there any other sources besides a lawyer to ask for help?
