Sorry, I may be venting my frustrations on you. I'm so tired of this attitude in the US: everyone thinks their owed something, and I'm going to sue at every opportunity, because it's free money right?

Did I say he broke the law? No. I said, in my post #138, that if I took this to court... (...) I am protected by the "private sales law", which basically says that if I discover a significant flaw (this is one, as the cost to fix the flaw exceeds 10% of the sale price) I have to inform the seller within two months after the sale was done - if I want to revert the sale. If I wanted to do that, and he said no, then I stand stronger in a court case. But like I said, I am not planning on doing that, but merely using that law as an argument towards the seller that he is not exempt from the law just because it was a private sale.

Breaking news! Previous owner and seller takes 40% of the bill from the IMS replacement. Man of the year 2013!!!

I am happy Haz that the law in your country works in your favor. The seller sounds like a very decent type of person.

I already announced him as person of the year 2013

I believe in karma, as does he I think.

So they are almost finished (supposed to be done yesterday..) and will be picking it up on monday

Some pics I got sent to my email just now:











As you can see, there is alot of metal particles, as expected. The mechanic told me that the IMS most likely would fail if I had driven about 10 more km....

Haz, based on the size of the metal in the pan, I believe you do want to revert the sale. You just don't know that yet!
