You should have taken your old car back. It would be worth more with full history

Glad to hear you got your money back, I am interested to see if any action is taken against them.

Did they say why it took so long?

Thanks for all your messages, money is back in the bank today. Trading standards are looking into the situation regarding the illegal actions of the dealers where they had me sign a document that stated that I was not to contact Trading Standards or make comment referring to their business which could be damaging to their reputation.

Additionally, they are looking into the falsified service history of my part exchange amongst other things.

Contract (Civil) Law cannot subvert Criminal (Statute) Law. If they've acted unlawfully then no contract to suppress your evidence to that effect can be enforceable.

For older cars possibly 20 yrs old you are going to get very little warranty value, you need to check it out thoroughly yourself, take you own expert if needed, then be responsible for your own decision. Wether it’s a dealer or a private seller they have to be truthful, if they tell lies or falsify information they are liable.

I’ve bought many cars privately and off dealers, occasionally I’ve paid too much, never bought a bad one
