bought a golf, now its broke

private sale means no comeback, even if he had trade insurance selling from home i still think u have no comeback, if you looked round it and never suggested anything to him befor parting with the cash, no come back

You could still register a complaint with TS

This is against the law: a trader doing private sales.

Most you can do is take it on the chin mate, ive been there and its not nice.

Now when i go to view a car (with intent to buy) i pull it to bits and check everything. If the seller wants a sale then he'll put the kettle on and wait awhile

Very sorry to here  Next time you may just have the intelligence to buy a mk2
