You must be gutted - I remember reading on Jock7 how much you were looking forward to getting the car.

Good idea not to post too much info into the public domain if legal preceedings are going to take place.

hope it all works out for you before summer.

Just seen this on bbc consumer but need to find out if this covers scotland

Sold a stolen car

I've been sold a stolen car by a car dealer. What are my options? PL, Padstow

Entitled to full refund

Under Section 12 of the Sale of Goods, it's a term of every contract for the Sale of Goods, that the seller has the right to sell the goods.

Consequently, if you've had to return the car to the rightful owner, you're entitled to a full refund of the price you paid (irrespective of how long you've had the car and how far you've driven it). There's no way a seller can avoid the effect of Section 12 Sale of Goods Act.

Thats something then. Still a complete PITA though.

Provided they are still in business you should be able to get money back - any progress on establishing whether the car is actually stolen?

someone will be charged this week see what he has got to say.After this i can see which legal action to take(best shot dealer).Police have said i will have no problem getting private plate back off the car.After looking at info on the net should get money back but this could take time.Then will be looking for another elise as wife liked the car.

I'm sure someone else in Aberdeen can help.
I'll not be passing for a while as I'm now back in Lagos...

Cheers,

i went past that garage (think i know the one you mean) and there was no sign of an mr2, there was a vx220 turbo and a scruffy tvr in showroom

Have spoken to plod today and no one will be getting charged so should have the car back soon.Even if the last owner has a go at dispute of ownership he will not have a leg to stand on as the police have not pressed any charge for theft

As the car has been sitting for 1/2 year will get in to local garaage and have it check over.
