We have recently sold a campervan in UK. During the sale we disclosed all we knew about the van, and all problems we have had with it. We only owned the van three months and in that time drove it through europe with only a problem with the clutch, which was fixed and dislosed to buyer. After test drive, cash given to us and papers signed, the buyer drove the car to her house. On the way home, literally two minutes after sale, the car broke down and was not able to be restarted by RAC/AA. Currently the car is being tested by mechanic to see what problem is and the buyer wants to renegotiate sale. The car is a 1988. We are from Australia and have flights booked home in two weeks. We have told her that we are not willing to contribute to the repair of the car as we did not mislead her in any way. She is now threatening legal action, and threatened that we will not be able to leave the country. Where do we stand? Will we have to return the money or stay in UK if legal process begins?
