Selling a used car - what are the buyer's rights?
We are selling my wife’s 2006 Ford Fiesta privately in the next few weeks. It has done 30,000 miles. I am not aware of any faults on the car, but what come-back does a private buyer have if he drives it away, then something breaks?

The buyer is protected by the law of contract and also has come-back if the car turns out to be unroadworthy. But he is not protected by any consumer legislation as purchasers are when buying from a dealer.
Your problem might be insurance because policies no longer allow policyholders to drive other cars not owned by them. Your best way out might be www.sure-sell.info
If you can wait until January when the market traditionally picks up you should do a lot better than trying to sell in December.
