I'll be very surprised if they do anything other than a couple of laps then retire.

I thought they might do something like that, I believe BaT do similar if you're unlucky enough to get done by the weather

Rather a dirty car than a scratched one

Did you guys get a refund?

What bulbs did you change to? LED by any chance?

Oh those poor cars

AC Unity is ace, but so, so broken. Dropping to 20fps in the cutscenes is bad enough, but I feel sorry for the PS4 players who get 20fps during the actual gameplay PC version isn't great either, by all accounts. So beautiful, but either it needed another 3mths work or it was too ambitious in terms of the graphics. The crowds are very impressive though.

Ellloooooooooooo

As long as the belts are done up correctly (i.e. very tight), I don't see an issue with that at all. The problems with setups like that is when people leave them loose for use on the road, they offer much less protection than a normal seat belt. That's the biggest risk.

He also be very unlikely to succeed, without giving fair chance to the seller to repair I think. Of course, I wouldn't trust the seller as far as I can throw him at this point. Tricky problem.

Crock of shite.

If there is, then I don't want to live any more.

Fine, let him try and fix it, but when he tells you the car needs X amount of repairs AT THAT POINT YOU MUST REJECT IT. One way or another, you're going to court at this point. If you don't want to go, then I suggest you save a few pennies and get the car fixed on your own.

Pretty sure, yes. They can refuse to take it, but realistically what are they going to do when the car is on their property and they have the keys? If they drive it without the permission of the owner they're stuffed. Once a letter of rejection has been delivered by the seller, then they've fulfilled their part of the statute: If the seller wishes to repudiate this, then they will have to do so via the courts. If the seller does something silly like drop the car back off, then at least when it goes to court the buyer can say that he did everything he reasonably could to return the goods. If he leaves them sitting outside his house, it looks a little more shaky.

You can't reject an item if you still have it, though.

Can I be honest with you? This is never going to end happily for you, and you need to start being a bit more assertive matey. Even if he does fix the car, do you think it'll be actually fixed or just 'fixed'? It's going to be the latter, and then if you've paid half the cost you're taking some of the burden when then trying to get it properly fixed. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and run, and this is one of those times. Reject the car, and give it back to them. Send the letter. Start court proceedings. You have a solid case here, there is no way the result will go against you, so stand your ground. Yes it can take a while, but better that than being stuck with an utter lemon.

I feel sorry for the contractor, they're really going to get it in the neck

Yes. The right of rejection is a statutory one, which cannot be overridden by either buyer nor seller. I wouldn't even dream of going 50/50 though, and would retract that ASAP.

I get how religion was a powerful tool in the days of old, when mankind pretty much knew nothing. Now we do, I struggle with the concept that any person can have faith based on nothing more than what their parents taught them.

You don't need any more legal advice than what myself and Comrade are telling you. If you want to reject the car, then do so. Leave it with them, give them all keys, send rejection letter. It's as clear cut as it can be really, but you will have to go through court as I suspect matey boy will not roll over like he should.

It's contract law. The most boring of all law.

Well, in theory if you carried on driving it with no oil in and that caused the damage then that would be quite negligent, but we're not there yet in the slightest. Tbh, he'd be better off just giving you your money back and walking as the repair bill is going to lose him all his profit and then some.

Does make you wonder, doesn't it? I'm not entirely sure where we sit, if I'm honest. I read that last night quite late so it was a bit much to take in just before bed, but I found it very intriguing nonetheless.
