Can't win.
Was gonna buy a much newer Super Duke 390 for a grand less and everyone on here told me not to, that it was a stupid idea and that I should buy a bloody DR-Z instead!

Magic. Thanks!
I'll email them politely requesting to reject the bike for a full refund. It won't really be a request, it'll be a demand, but I don't want to come across as trying to be a c**t over it. I'll start off softly softly. Probably gonna ring LBC consumer hour tomorrow 9pm 'til 10pm just to reaffirm what you've said here, I've no reason to disbelieve it but confirmation from a legal beagle would be nice before I start playing hardball. I may not have to, they may refund me without a battle, but for some reason I doubt it! So tune in if you wanna hear my goofy story and promptly take the p**s out of me on here afterwards. ____________________ 2023 DucAudi Mehrstraße V4 Hechte Gipfel - "Objectively the best motorcycle ever produced" - "You can have any colour, as long as it's red"

If the dealer falls back behind the "sold as seen" defence, they are going to pull a surprised Pikachu face in County Court when the Judge tells them their own policies don't override the law.
Traders try to remove their liability, but they can't when dealing with a consumer: these disclaimers only really work in business to business dealings and even then can be challenged.
Don't take my word for it, see blog here by a solicitors firm:

Well if I'm honest, it wasn't 100% instant. It did start rattling faintly for a few minutes beforehand (may have been louder than I realised, bearing in mind the wind noise and VERY loud exhaust, the rattling didn't seem that loud to me while I was riding), I got off and checked the chain as that's where it sounded to me like it was coming from, chain was fine but then realised the rattling stopped when I pulled the clutch in and the revs dropped and was still coasting along (so obviously the chain still going round but no longer making a racket) so became obvious it was something internally wrong with the engine and not the chain... Then shortly afterwards it started clattering and banging around very loudly like there was a load of nuts and bolts in a tumble drier, quickly pulled the clutch in and turned the engine off, rolled to a stop, tried to re-start, engine seized.
That's the best way I can describe it really.

Yeah that's what I thought. I've been sold perfectly good cars in the past with NON RUNNER, or SOLD FOR SPARES OR REPAIR on the sales invoice, not because there was anything wrong with the car just so the trader can get round their statutory obligations to me after the sale, which I have since learned isn't strictly a warranty or guarantee as such but is protected under the consumer rights as others in here have pointed towards.
No such disclaimer on this sale, however. Only a bit that said:

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 2 years, 17 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
