Thing is if i bought a used car and something went wrong with it i'd never dream about going back to the previous owner to complain unless it was blatently obvious they'd bodged it to sell.
At the end of the day thats why you go to view a car first and thats the risk you take. If you dont want the risk buy a brand new car or used from a dealer with warantee but then you pay extra for the privalige.

If you buy/trade/swap/buy a car privately you have no come back unless you can prove some sort of misrepresentation at which point you're looking at very costly civil court.
He's not got a leg to stand on - the same as you wouldn't if it were the other way around.

glad to hear you have got it sorted, but it is one risk i suppose of doing a swap or even a private sale, if the swapper\buyer becomes a PITA

Just goes to show that there are still naive buyers out there who do not have a clue when it comes to such transactions.
Then again he may be a scam artist who preys on weak minded people and either swaps parts over from 'swapped' cars to get another one sold and then attempts a claim back from the original deal. The Prelude just smacks of underhand dealing and I guess he is a scammer of sorts.

Nice one mate glad its all sorted. One things springs to mind though. He's went from a ZS to a corsa, what a fooking tool lol. I must admit I never had and threats when I swapped him for the prelude. He got a good deal though, he got a good car, not a flamming vectra
