Thanks for the report. I was thinking about calling him after he never replied to my email questions. Allot of people wont respond by mail. I first figured it was a inconvenience to have to write.. But now I believe most of them are illiterate. :ylsmoke:
I suspect that his refusal to reply to emailed questions has more to do with him not giving you (as a potential buyer) documented answers which could be used in legel proceedings after you'd discovered that there were undisclosed issues with the van, as experienced and detailed by jbiernat.
In the UK, misrepresentation in selling is a criminal offense, irrespective if the seller is a private individual or a commercial business.
When I've called about buying vehicles, I've always recorded my call's, I've recorded my 'on site' inspection discussions too, and have had reason to be thankful of it.
