Today recieved a letter from the credit card company:-
"The retailer has informed us that he feels that you got a good deal because he claims a vehicle of it's age could fetch over £10000 and the price did reflect its condition. The retailer also advised the bank that a car of this age was bound to have problems and was not advertised as being in perfect condition.
I appreciate this is not the response you were looking for. Should you wish to pursue the matter further, I would suggest you seek your own independant advice as to your position and any action you may take."
Well I am not saying a very good RS2000 isnt going to fetch over £10k but I am sure I wouldnt have paid 5K for mine if I had seen it before it was delivered, he described it as being sound underneath, stating he had replaced parts so I believed him.
I knew it wouldnt be concourse but expected it to be sound, it does need work and some parts replacing/repairing/sourcing to complete. This I was willing to accept for the price but not to have to do a major re-build!
What I need now I think in case Ian cant convince him to be fair is for someone that can give a proper valuation on my car that the credit card company will have to listen to, dont know if they have looked into valuations or have just taken his word for it (they have plenty of pictures showing the condition of it)
Any suggestions for such people or volunteers?
Thanks,
Peter.
