So they drive off 10:30am yesterday morning, went shopping, went somewhere else, went for a drive and somehow ended up with a flat battery. So they phones me back up, a little miffed, so I offer (although I don't have to) to replace the battery, nope, they want their money back. They come to my house, shouting and swearing, calling me a con man, I done their disabled daughter out of a car etc, when they realise I am not giving their money back there and then, threaten violence and damage. So, I think, sod it, all that grief isn't worth such a small amount and offer to refund them, cause they are saying the alternator and battery are knackered.
They bring the car back today, I put the battery back on, car starts, 14v at the battery under load.... total retards should be banned from breeding...

I feel your pain mate. Totally agree with you. Private sale, sold as seen, its for peanuts anyway !!
Hopefully they will spend a grand and find out the head gasket is knackered on the next one. You can only hope.
I sold a £1k Golf recently and got the buyer to sign a receipt that stated sold as seen, no warranty offered or implied. He has a copy and so do i. Told him not to sign it unless he agreed to it. My buyer was alright and a realist thankfully.
Clean it up and stick it on eBay, i had loads of interest and didnt even have to let the listing run. Cost me £7 to list it, that was all.
