Very sorry to read all of that Paul.

Lina, CRA 2015 does not apply to private sales. If goods are not as described under any transaction of any kind that amounts to misrepresentation. I note that you have deleted the following words from your response "Thank you Roy for that lucid, informed and succinct contribution" 🙂

For the avoidance of doubt and misunderstanding and to shut you two up! A Private individual can sell a vehicle to whoever he likes. It does not need to be in ANY particular condition, but the seller must not represent the vehicle IN ANY WAY. He must answer any questions honestly. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to satisfy himself that the vehicle is of a satisfactory quality and suitable for the purpose for which he wishes to buy it. He is expected to perform Due Diligence and makes such enquiries and ask such questions as he thinks fit. The Principle is Caveat Emptor i.e. Let the Buyer beware. It is wise to document matters concerning the transaction and have it signed and dated by both parties. A Trader is a person whose business it is to buy or sell vehicles. If in doubt, H.M.R.C. will determine whether one is a Trader or not. It is an offence for anyone who trades, to identify themselves as a Private Individual. A Private Individual who buys from a Trader has the comfort of THE CONSUMER RIGHTS ACT 2015 which places certain Statutory Obligations upon the Trader. The Trader must act in good faith and not misrepresent the vehicle in any way. It is wise for all details of any transaction to be documented as above. In the event of any dispute arising out of a Private Sale or with a Trader, the Courts will determine a resolution, authoritatively, having regard to the facts of the transaction. Hence the advice to document everything. The Lexus Forum in my opinion is not the best place to resolve disputes.

A wholesale review of the Taxation system will be needed. A New way of life means a new way of doing things. 10% tax on all earnings/income however earned/obtained and stop paying people to do nothing would be a good start. Now, over to the bright sparks on this Forum!

My money is on you being allocated a bottom of the range CT (LOL_

Without Piccies it conjures up images of a Jackson Pollock canvas ! With piccies, it might lead me to a psychedelic dream !

Good luck James. Which Dealership is it? My (Chester) Dealership is not part of any Group and gives me a free loan car and free insurance and the car is returned to me in pristine condition. They will also collect mine from home and return it to me free of charge.. All are different.

Thanks Vlad. Mine is 2010 Gen 3 Design change? Not manufactured correctly? Someone pinched it ? It is there and I am a FOOL ? A very good question though !

Funny you should mention that because of the way my mind can occasionally warp sometimes I did think that Greer was a pseudonym for D Dealer.I must have seen too many Inspector Clouseau films.

"You may not like the law which required people to be truthful, but that does not make you immune from it. " Or for that matter laws which require motorists not to exceed certain speed limits, amigo !!

A really good post Nick. The National Grid is needing enormous investment and the vehicle charging infrastructure likewise. In my view they are both a generation away. No pun intended. EU financial penalties are driving the manufacturers towards the manufacture and over-hyping of electric vehicles. It would have made more sense to have a phased move via all hybrid vehicles first.

No Linas, I do mean the 4th line. I would advise you to rethink what you have said. Have a nice day!

Alan, A seller who is a Trader has Statutory Responsibilities. Dudley man is seeking to avoid those responsibilities and furthermore he is guilty of false description. He is misrepresenting both himself and the Vehicle he is selling. A seller who is a Private seller has Contractual Responsibilities which Dudley man is seeking to avoid. In China, he would be shot! In UK, we wipe his backside and tell him not to be a naughty boy. The Members of this Forum try very hard to be vigilant. You really must do your homework !

Linas, do be aware of the Law of Libel ! See the 4th line of your 4th para and rephrase.

I prefer to think of Lexus as the Tortoise in the race. That S Class seems to be capable of being driven safely only what it is on Autopilot.

Have you checked the "my Lexus" section on the website ?

All is forgiven old son. Your heart has bled. Your conscience is clear.And that I hope is the last we will hear of it !

Mercedes and reliable electronics is a contradiction in terms.
