Does he offer a warranty? Is he a trader from a buyer protection point of view (I'm not an expert but "presumably" and "he should be" seem to be correct)
I'd perhaps argue that you are paying, say, £10k.... £9,000 for a car and £1,000 for everything else - warranty, service, peace of mind, proper valeting, detailing, knowing that pretty much everything has been looked at and there's not a list of minor things to do before you even start driving it... in some or many cases that extra £1k could be a complete bargain.
Yes he does, although as part of the negotiation on price I sacked it off because I’m generally suspicious of third party warranties never having had a good experience. I tend to tackle issues myself as well, so it holds little value to me. He was also very open about what he’d spent on the car and the invoice for an oil change, new rocker cover gasket, oil filter gasket, oil cooler gasket and brake calliper is in the history of the car.
