Could anyone or even mod confirm this. Theres a trader selling cars in For Sale section and I have a particular urge to screw the robbing little swine.

 

Not if theyre representing themselves as private sellers. Completely illegal.

As you can see, I'm not over impressed with my dealings with him and it turns out he is a trader.

 

report him and get him to pay £400 for advertising on SN

Thanks

When he bought my car there was no mention of him being a trader. Bit of digging shows he has indeed sold a few cars - lets hope the £2K he made on my car has been declared

 

if its any concilation, he wont get 7k for it, be lucky to get 5-6k

 

The car he is selling now isn't mine. He bought mine this time last year. I sold it for 6 and he had it up a few months later for 7.5. It needed new rear pads and was a little overdue a service (I did it 6 monthly). I offered to buy it back when he claimed he was skint but came in quite low as I'd made the decision to get a Lancia - I didn't go down the small claims as it would cost more than the plate and the plate would not go on a 1992 lancia anyway.

Reading the emails, he made the suggestion I give him the full costs to change the plate but as he said he could not even afford to tax the car, I felt I was probably going to lose the money and the plate.

Not declaring profits made on selling vehicles privately (as I understand it) is tax evasion.

 

it is.

 

Looks as if the user might end up being banned for a while in any case.

 

Being a trader of course changes after sales responsibility a lot. None of this "sold as is" business.

Doesn't sound like a very experienced trader though. Have you ever heard a trader mention making a profit Rather it's "well it's going to cost me guv, (sucks breath in), but seeing as it's you.........."
