Late review, but I bought a car from Jordan about a year ago, sold as a private add, though turned out to be registered to his business per the v5 when it came back.
I'll admit the car seemed cheap to me at the time, but after buying I found plenty of niggles with the car:
Missing under bonnet trim causing alarm warnings, spare wheel / jacking kit turned out to be missing, service manual missing after he had claimed it had Fsh, slight play in steering which ended up resulting in 2x lower steering arms and a top mount being peplaced.
Now the last batch of repairs could just be wear in use, but the real smack came today.
My wife usually drives the car these days, and she'd decided she fancied one of the new C1s - we offered the Twingo as part-ex only to find the car was recorded as a cat D - with finance outstanding.
After 5 very tense minutes, the dealer was able to confirm the finance had actually been settled, but the long and short of it is I was left with a car which is worth a good 2k less than I thought.
So from bitter experience, I'd like to encourage the forum users to exercise a bit of caution when dealing with this chap.
This is an account of the facts as I see them, so hope I am not speaking out of turn in relation to the moderation rules!
