|

I bought a GSX-R 1000 K5 (2005 reg) off of a friend that needed the money. I bought it super cheap as he had used it as a track day tool. It had 9k on the clock as the clocks had been removed for track days. Anyway, I paid him £2200 for the bike as the engine was tired. It had 9 months mot as it had been put back on the road last year.
I advertised it, a dealer phoned me up yesterday, sent his van over with driver to collect. The driver was a plum and did not even check the frame engine numbers or even look at the log book. He sat on bike, started it up and about 200mm of oil shot out the breather pipe, blasted out about a good 3 foot onto the grass. He missed that, he was literally looking at the clocks.
He rang through to his office who transferred the money into my account, he took the details off of my debit card. He had them on loudspeaker and woman confirmed details were a 'match'?
Paid me £3900, put bike in van and shook hands and off he went. The bike looked absolutley mint, the dealer phoned me today saying it's got a krank pressure issue and it's blowing oil past the rings, also states log book was not in my name. Bottom line, he wants a refund.
This leaves with 2 issues. 1 can the dealer extract any money back from my account?
2 will the dealer go after my mate? his name on the log book I never changed it over, literally span the bike around in less than 4 days.
I've not mentioned it to my mate. |

I'd tell him it was sold as seen and his agent accepted it in the condition it was presented on the day.

I notice nobody's questioned what sort of dealer this is; who's been stitched up like a kipper and presumably has the OP's address. Is he the law-abiding sort who will just shrug his shoulders and say 'ah well, you win some, you lose some'.
Or maybe he isn't? ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |

Really? Half a day max? Half a day to disconnect everything, remove the engine, strip it down and clean all the parts, old gaskets off etc. Then take meausrements of everything to check what needs replacing. New parts, rebuild (presuming it won't need a rebore), reinststall, conect everything up and test. in 4 hours (half a working day)
Mary Poppins might be able to do that while singing 'A spoonful of sugar' and snapping her fingers but I doubt most bike mechanics can. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 2 years, 97 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
