Someone to give some c**p to
I sold my car on wednesday to a guy who wanted it for his girlfriend. Well it appears she doesn't want it as it's
here!
So not only has this guy lied to me, he's now lying in the advert. Service done a month ago? No I did not! Cambelt changed at 75k? I know it
wasn't changed at 86k! New tyres fitted (so he posts a picture of the old cheap ones, not the new Contis) AND the cheeky barstud is asking more
than I was

Sorry mate but that's business I'm afraid.
You sold it he bought it and now its his to do with as he pleases ( regardless of any lies he's telling )
caveat emptor in this case.
BUT I DO Feel your anger.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

I was going to contact them myself, but as it's your advert you are probably the best person to report it. There is a fraudulent advert section
here
It's one thing making a few quid on stuff, that's the nature of the beast when we sell cars, but out-and-out fraud ain't
acceptable!
Go get him chap 
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Yeah I was expecting him to sell it on, which is why I went looking for it. If the advert checked out I'd have probably grumbled and left it.
Heck he might have actually done the work anyway, just made it look like it's not been done yesterday

I took my company Volvo T4 to the auctions, high mileage, poor service history, iffy turbo, and got what I expected, not a lot!
A week later it's on a 'reputable' forecourt for £4k more, with a very twisted description, local company owner, FSH, etc etc.
But it's theirs, not mine, buyer beware and all that....

Personally lying about the cambelt is unacceptable. That makes a massive different to the value of the car so is fraud!

You sold it, it's his to do as he wants with it, and you really have no right to do anything.
If he's making a profit at that price, you sold it way too cheap!

Granted its not your problem, but is it not iillegal to willfully lie about the condition of goods? If you know the claims are false you should
report it, probablywon't make a difference.
Always best to try and avoid seeing your old cars after its been sold, though when i sold my last car i kept getting bothered by someone I think was
trying to do the same.

Just e-mail scam@autotrader.co.uk and let them know. It's fraud and I suspect Autotrader wouldn't want to be associated with it.

Lucky you didn't post the numberplate 
as someone buying it might be disappointed when they do the inevitable google.

What MC04KWW? Good job MC04KWW didn't get posted to this thread as it would be bad for the seller on AT if a potential customer was to search
for MC04KWW and find this about a Peugeot 206 2.0 HDI with the registration MC04KWW.

Yes, but if he sells multiple cars and gets a number of people saying the same thing it will start to stick.
If you know someone is breaking the law then staying quiet is, in the strictest interpretation, also committing an offence.

AT are pretty good at dealing with dodgy ads, though most Of my dealing was with intentionally wrong pricing.
Might like to ad that you believe him to be a trader posing as a private seller, they really don't like that.
