Taking a private seller to small claims over not as described.

[des8]

Basically yes, but are you seeking damages or rescission of the contract?

Cheers for the advice guys. So I should still have a leg to stand on so to speak as the description imo is inaccurate. I was just given the wrong law by cit advice.

Yes, but the key phrase is 'in my opinion' and the thing with court is that the opinion of the judge might not be the same as yours. Only you can decided whether the fees are worth the risk in launching a claim.

A puzzle I wonder if this man is privately / dealing as he states Car taken in part exchange? So it is worth be looking if he has been selling other cars previously.
