Default Re: Buying 2nd Hand Car - Accident Damage

Pretty sure he should refund your deposit since the car has been in an accident and this has not been disclosed to you, even though he admitted to being well aware of the accident repair after being caught out on it.

I have not looked into the rules relating to this, but the old 'Caveat emptor' or buyer beware is starting to be legislated out of existence and is being replaced with 'Caveat Venditor'

A Latin term meaning “let the seller beware,” the principle of caveat venditor cautions that the seller is responsible for any problem that the buyer might encounter with a service or product, especially if a known problem exists that has not been disclosed to the buyer.
