im not happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

It's a used car so he should have had it inspected BEFORE he bought it. If you didn't sell it to him with the option to have it inspected within so many days, it's not your problem. $5K in repairs on a Porsche at a dealer is not (relatively speaking) that big of a deal and they should expect it in the future.

I think you should tell him you're sorry you didn't know about the problems he's coming to you with, but that's just the way it goes if you don't do a PPI.

Well I agree with most others here - if he did not take the time to check it out beforehand - it's his mistake and he needs to be accountable for his mistake.

Anyways, chalk it up to lesson learned and I would suggest that next time you clearly state it in the bill of sale that the vehicle is being sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied. For exact "legal language" do a Google search on auto bill of sale.

Wow, 25800 for a 99 with 15k? That's insane! I would have cut him a check for 5k, there's no way you are going to get that again! You can cut the check and still have done a decent sell:P

Thats what i was going to say and was wondering if anyone else thought this! He most likely found out that he paid too much money for the car and the repairs were his excuse. Where did you come up with that price?

Good luck with re-sale. Use this as an experience and go with it.
