Hi,
We bought a car (a p/x vehicle at a garage) for £950. 2 days later somebody ran into the car as it was parked up and tried to drive off. I chased after him and eventually got his details. I called the police about him driving off from the scene of an accident and was fobbed off. I have called his insurance and they said they would have to wait for him to contact them first before settling. Over 2 weeks now has passed and he hasn't called them so they have said they will settle. They have asked for pics of the car, which i have just emailed, and they will settle today as from the description of the damage, they will write the car off. He said he will pay market value. I have just had a market valuation done on parkers website and it values the car at £580. I am fuming. I have done nothing wrong and will no doubt be offered something close to the £580. Do i have any legal rights to demand the amount i paid as i have the original sales receipt showing i paid £950. I surely shouldn't have to suffer financially?
