Last week I bought (from a c u next tuesday ebay trader) a 55 plate petrol 1.6 auto Touran 1 owner FSH since owning it I have engine management light on faulty PCV valve change £60 general wear and tear part I guess, today I notice radiator leak only small but thats going to be the best part of £180 to replace.
I have tried speaking to the trader and he is not interested in helping out one bit even mentioned trading standards etc still unfazed to be honest I haven't got the energy or the inclination to deal with 4rse holes like that I have to many other life things going on. If he is unfazed by trading standards I really don't want to get on the wrong side of him people are crazy
There has to be an element of well its 7 yrs old it has 80000 miles things go wrong...
I have even spoken to the original owner just for piece of mind and he says what a great car it was now he has no reason to lie I didn't buy it off him(in fact he was a nice bloke)
Now do I get the radiator changed and then sell before something else brakes falls off etc ? or keep ?
In the 20 yrs of owning cars this is the 1st time anything like this has ever happened and I have had over 15 cars (lots of golfs) so I really am p1ssed about this...
Any thoughts would be great
NB I really am not going down the trading standards route my life is way to precious to deal with sh1t heads...
