Hi guys - I’m not sure I’m in the right place but here goes anyway -
I saw a Range Rover velar for sale on eBay and took interest. The description and photos off the car were both 10/10 and the guy selling the car for 37’300 accepted my offer off 35k.
the car was 3 and half hours away from me and I couldn’t collect it until the following week so i asked if he would hold onto it. He requested a deposit (£1000). I drafted up a contract between him and myself via email and had us both sign before I transferred him the deposit - so today I was due to collect the car - I rang a garage in the area the car was in advance and paid for one off their technicians to go and do a thorough examination off the car - this examination proved the car to be in a not so good shape. There was plenty off cosmetic damage which could indicate the the mileage on the car (32k) is not in fact true. The car has only ever had 1 owner so surely he would be aware off selling a clocked back car? Also, under the bonnet there seemed to be plastic welding in placed it shouldn’t, the bumper was out off line, the break pads need replacing, and also the rear tyres are on 2mm.
the car was advertised with having 12 months MOT, how did it pass the mot when the rear seat belts aren’t even fully funtionable? Anyway my question is - where do I stand on getting my deposit back?
