<prompt> Human: A freind brought a car from a person online The UK and he is driving it down the road from buying it and it breaks down! He has took it to a mechanic and he was told its beyond repair. He has been ripped off basically and sold down a river the guy is refusing to refund him. What are the legal rights of my freind he has asked me for advice and all i could of was seek and threaten legal advice.I hope this is a suitable post for here just really need a hand if possible!  <response>: Should of had the mechanic look at it first!
