Is the best buy he has ever had still worth the same or more money now
Proportionally no , the 8240 I bought off Mark Robinson is worth double , fastrac maybe 25%
It`s a fair bet that some will be good and some will be bad... Grand job for you though!

Was talking to a man into vintage stuff, he rang a lad near Dublin about a "mint" Major, drove the 2 hours to go & look at it, as he drove up the lane he spotted this tatty Major sitting which had been painted, cow shyte still on the wheels under the paint, stopped with the lad & asked if that was the tractor? yep, so he told him she's not what I'm looking for & drove home again without ever getting out of the jeep.
A couple of years later he rang a lad about another one, discussed it on the phone till the lad asked " do you drive a black Discovery?" I do, "ahh, this wouldn't be your cup of tea then", was the same lad again.

Buying s/h is always a gamble viewed or not and I've done both.
For those that say take the day out to veiw that's OK if the item veiwed is what your after and in good condition however if its not you need another day out to veiw then maybe another and another.... That's when time starts to get precious. Does help if you can get a few to veiw on the same day and pick the best available.

The issued listed are I would say to be expected, the bulbs going well that happens they don't last forever, as with mirrors od say there are few tractors or any machine that age that hasn't had glass break on the mirrors, just by their positioning they are susceptible to damage,
The seat and clocks are the two I'd be looking to get redress over.
Perhaps if he has said " look if you sort out the seat and give me a wee bit off too then we will call it quits

I see things slightly different. Bulbs and mirrors, assuming mirror arms are still in tact, are simple/cheap features that I'd expect to be there and work, especially if I intended for it to go on the road.
Bulbs cost pennies and even if it needs a new lense or bulb mount it shouldn't be dear to replace. I also see it as a good record of maintenance if someone has bothered to replace them as they broke rather then just carrying on. What bigger problems did they also leave unattended to.
Heaters. And seats fair enough as they may be costly items you may not want to fork out for on an older tractor but things that may get you pulled up by plod on the road should be sorted.

I just think that perhaps if both had shown a bit more flexibility then things would be sorted amicably

Sold as road worthy or ready for work are different things surely.
I think he needs to take it on the chin and fix it himself. Or sell it on again if it's really that bad.

When you ring Stuart that the item is tits up upon delivery he gets the father to take over, then the father will do f all. You speak to many in the trade and they laugh when you mention Barclays.

Being ready for work Is one thing but if it can't travel legally down the road to the far field its not fit to work.

We traded in a tractor at 11 years old for similar money and everything worked, including every light, heater and radio. I didn't think that was unusual but maybe we spoilt the dealer.

Oh well. Should go and look at it if it's to be to a specifically high standard.

Some would swap the tyres and anything else they could after the dealer has valued it!
