Part exchanging a 'wreck.'
We are about to buy a Mini Cooper S, and part-exchanging a Ford Ka. The Ka is not worth very much, has rust and the driver door lock is dodgy. We have informed the dealer of this.
How can we cover ourselves if the dealer realises the car is in a worse state than he thought, after the deal is done and he inspects it? Do we insist the the paperwork reflects "sold as seen"?

You state in writing that the car is a wreck and you do not believe it to be roadworthy.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
