You're taking the car back because the guy's being an ass? LOL... can you give me your phone number so I can call you and ask you to give me $50k? Don't worry; I'll make sure to "be an ass" because then I can be 100% sure to receive my money.

I only wish half the people with whom I've done business rolled over half as easily as you!!! I'd be a very wealthy man.

This entire thread reads like an intervention. A failed intervention.

may make you feel better but you have no way of knowing that the car being returned is in the same condition it was when sold. The guy may have been buzzing the motor when cold (or worse) for all you know.

As others have suggested, making an offer to split the difference on the repairs would be a VERY generous offer. His lack of knowledge on the market price of the car is his problem as is his choice of not doing a PPI.

The reality is that this is a used car and any prospective buyer should expect that the car is not perfect; that's why he isn't paying $45K for it!

What ever you do--Don't return his money and take the car back!!!!!!

Wow. I can't believe you're giving him his money back. I'm sure he'd have done the same thing for you. Not.

I completely disagree with anyone telling you to give him some money back. So now the guy got to drive your car for free? If you're going to take the car back (which I don't agree with) I'd personally tell him I'll take it back for $2,000 less than what he paid. Consider it earnest money - or lease payments for while he had the car.

Damn this is stupid...

well guys its to late. i got my car back and hes only put 50miles on it.Im tackng my car to my cousine and he said it wont take long to repair im going to the bank shortly instead of me giving the guy back his full 25800 weve aggred that i will only return 25500 of it because of the milleage and him wasting my time,and ill proably use the money to pay the labor cost when i get the car fixed. and after it is fixed ill put it back outside and resell it. It only took me 3 days to sell it to this Fu&K.SO ill hopefully sell it soon


thanks for listening

Sad. Sorry to hear you caved in like that. You've been taken advantage of and will probably live to regret it. The $300 you're getting for his use of the car and your time isn't worth the effort. Oh well. Good luck with your future sale.

Come to think of it.. I hope you're not getting scammed. Its only been two days.. has his check cleared? Even cashiers checks take a while to clear. You might want to wait a few days longer before giving him his money back, but that brings up other issues of who keeps the car in the interim, etc etc. Good luck

Just curious to know what you would've done had you spent the money before the buyer contacted you about unwinding the deal?

Allow me to play a little devil's advocate here. Let's say you bought a used Boxster from a private party ( and you were stupid enough not to get a PPI ). The next day you take it to the dealer and are told that the car would require $5000 in repairs. Would you :

a. Say "oh well, I should have got a PPI"

or

b. Go back to the guy you bought it from and pitch a fit ?

blkboxster, I think you did the right, honorable thing, even though you were not aware the car needed the repairs and did not have to refund the money.

Karma, baby ! It WILL come back to you

That whole karma thing is for the birds. Did I kill anyone when the Cubs missed their chance to play in the Series in '69? '84? '89? '03?

Ron Swoboda is still alive, so is Will Clark, Leon Durham, Steve Garvey and Steve Bartman. So where is my Cub title???
