Shouldn't have taken the check. That's a sign you have accepted his 'deal' and could go against you.

Why do you need to insinuate it when he has an engineers report demonstrating it to be the case!

Similar thing happened to my mate when looking at Fiesta Sts. He noticed a tiny bit of rust at the top of the door and decided to look further. Pushed the door and it popped in(compared to the other side) and the door rubbed slightly when closing. Rear light cluster was rattly and the plastic infront of the clocks was cracked. The dealer insisted it had not been in a crash.
Makes me wonder what sort of places do these repairs

Not necessarily. I'm not even sure that paying it in would be legally counted as accepting.
Its a limited edition 197. They only made 500 for the UK, i'd imagine finding one of similar spec would be pretty difficult in a reasonable amount of time. They didnt even offer me this option.
To be honest after the lack of PDI check makes me feel very wary of purchasing any other car from them.
You live and learn.
Paying the cheque in can be a sign of acceptance. You should write on the back "Payment under dispute" similar to when you're pressed to make a payment to someone you're disputing - "Payment made under duress".
It will add legal clout that you whilst you have accepted the payment, you do not accept the amount.

You sure? Sound like ******** to me.
An example I have widely seen on forums advising on wheel clamping was to indeed write "paid under duress" if paying by cheque, so it may be legitimate. (But I guess those firms wouldn't accept cheques as you could cancel them I imagine.)

I would put this down to experience and try and find another 197. For the sake of £200 I wouldn't spend too much of your time trying to get this back the time and hassle of taking them to court for me wouldn't be worth it. You have to ask yourself if the trouble to get it back is better than just writing it off I would however at least send them a solicitors letter.
because its the way I am..
just as posts like this are the way you are.
Still want pics.
Seriously, what are you on about? The OP already explained that it had been in accident and that it had been confirmed
Writing on the back of cheques has been done for years. It has no legal standing, but it paints a picture of the events at the time the cheque was written. It is more commonly used by older people who feel they are being pressured into paying for something or who can't say no face to face.
It gives them a greater chance of claiming back if the transaction is subsequently disputed.

How does it, if it has no legal standing?
Plus, the bank now has the cheque, so who's going to see it?
I can maybe understand putting payment made under duress on a cheque you were giving to someone else (if you actually were under duress), but I imagine under dispute on a cheque you're paying in is worthless. If you're really disputing it, dont pay it in.
