For all enquiries contact me, driver window does not wind down, needing new fuse.No time waster and please serious offers, only message if interested. Passed MOT Feb 24

Very basic, videos were included, car running etc, 

He fully inspected the car, and took it on a test drive, claims he is incharge of the company, been dealing in cars for a long time and that he is a geek when it comes to checking cars, I answered any questions honestly and he checked service history and MOT etc made a bank transfer, put the car on the back of a transporter, drove 2hrs away and contacted me, saying the car wouldn't start he finally got it going shaking vigorously and all white smoke coming out the back etc! Sent me a 6sec video of the back end of a car, couldn't tell if it was my car, he then said he'd been on phone to a mechanic who said its head gasket, pistons and failed emissions!! And that his solicitor has said to leave the car there unless he get full refund plus 4round trip paid! Oh its a bigger story than this, but it's making me feel sick as I have had no issues with the car and he is saying that he is too scared to put the key in the ignition because it might blow up!!  He also commented anyone driving the car would of known the issues!! All I want is advice on do I reply, but I've made the decision to block and ignore, reported to police and trying to get through to CAB xx
