Hello, I’m looking for some advice. What makes a person a car trader? I bought a Nissan Qashqai in August, 2 miles from the mans house the car broke down. We contacted the seller straight away and he said sold as seen. No refund was offered or any help. I had the car looked at by a mechanic, he told me the car has been topped up regularly with oil to hide a broken turbo. I have taken the person to small claims court. I have since found loads of adverts of around 20 different cars all over Facebook and market place. The total of around 21k. I had mediation and the man is denying him and his grandsons are traders. (These are the people who were involved in the sale of the car). I am due to go to court and wondered if anyone had been through anything similar? And have you been successful at court ?
