stand firm, it was sold as seen, no agreement was signed. Its their problem.

If they wanted warranties, they should have bought from a dealer.

Do you have anything signed by the buyer advising they agree that the car was purchased as "Sold as seen", no warranty etc ?
They could have ragged it to blazes over the last week.

Buyer beware, its upto them to make sure the car is what they want, once they've handed the cash over its tough.

I sold an Elite Estate at the end of July, got a phone call at the beginning of the week saying it had broken down (think its going to be the crank sensor) so i'm going tomorrow to have a look. If he supplies the part I will fit it free of charge, but then i'm good like that ;)

You have nothing to worry about. Its sold as seen, they should have looked at the tracking. Assuming it was not pulling to the left when it sold, who's to say they have not smashed it into a pavement and done this damage them selves.

'Caveat Emptor' mate, 'Let the buyer beware'. even if you hadn't told them it was 'sold as seen', they don't have a leg to stand on as long as you didn't try to hide anything or 'misrepresent' the vehicle in any way,  sold it privately and are not a car dealer. Don't be worried about the 'home visit'  either, at the first sign of any argy bargy, go inside & shut the door! Better still, don't answer it!  :y

Yes mate stand firm. They had a test drive and were happy. You pays your money's and you take's your chance on a private sale.
Dont be bullied, they've broke it and are trying it on.
If it starts to get messy or violent then call the cops.

She is throwing more money away going down that route. As I said earlier, as long as you said or did nothing to misrepresent the car before sale, she hasn't a hope in hell. Mind you, I feel sorry for her if the car just decided to give up the ghost after she bought it, but that's life isn't it? :(
