Saga Car Insurance Great cover, great price! Defaqto 5 Star Rated Comprehensive cover. Over 50? As i pulled uo next to the said car i said to my mate lets get out of here! As we had a quick walk round there wasn't a single panel that wasn't either dented or the laquer wasn't peeling of except the boot lid which he had rattle canned himself We looked inside to see the glovebox completely missing hinges are a known weak spot on a4's at which we started to walk back to my car to go home.
Just as we opened the doors the bloke came out, built like a brick shit house. To be fair he didn't say a lot and we drove home via mcdonnys. I dont understand why people dont just tell it like it is and save disapointing people. I always over describe faults and blemishes when selling cars.
Sounds like a certain Lotus Carlton I went to pick up few weeks back, described as needing tidying - It was an absolute dog covered in rust, blowing smoke, brakes binding, and kept stalling, steering all over the place The list goes on Won a Grand Cherokee on eBay a few years back Went to look at it and all seemed well.
We paid the money and off we went The auto box didnt change up to 4th and the speedo stopped working My Father and I returned to the vendor and politely asked for our money back as the car was clearly a dog The seller and his friend refused saying no refunds My Father and I made it clear that we would really like our money back. We walked away with every penny of our money and we learnt our lesson to check cars properly in future!
The sellers were scummy con men and the conversations were not as polite as I have described They really annoy me and I've stopped doing the polite British thing, I let them know they've wasted my time. A memorable one was a Clio Williams described as a show car. It was priced accordingly with the seller assuring me it was the best out there. When I got there it had dodgy paint, crap welding, battered interior, just a dog.
Let him know in no uncertain terms that he wasted my time and was an idiot and the car wasn't worth half the price. Then just walked away as he was talking. The car was advertised again the next week and I was described as a messer who was trying to chip him.
One of the advantages of buying from established forum members over complete unknowns, I have zero trust for any member of the motor trade that doesn't have several positive reports from known quantities One saturday back in about when I was looking for a cheap car, I saw a Fiat auto in the auto trader.
It was at a car dealers in Balham, so I went on the train to go and see it. The advert said all the right things, good condition, tax, mot etc. I had to walk for ages through a saturday market after getting off the tube, and when I got there, it was parked down the road, with rusty door bottoms, rusty bootlid, rusty bonney, buggered exhaust, tyres not inflated properly, filthy tatty interior, and one of the door mirrors hanging off. I started it up and drove it round the corner, and it was horrible.
I parked it up again and knew it was a wrong un. Power steering didn't work all of that model had PAS , the brake pedal went almost all the way to the floor, it was a pile of shite. If it happened now, I'd be pissed off, but remembering it now, it was an interesting experience at the time.
It was the same colour as this one. If it had been as good as this one, I'd have been well happy. Not a used car as such, but this reminds me of a 2 week job I had in the early 90s working for a courier firm. They had a fleet of Metro vans, and a couple of Maestro vans. The Metros were as good as a metro ever is, except for one. I was given a delivery one day, and a clip board with the van keys. It was parked along the street from the office. When I got in, I noticed that the steering column was pushed up against the bottom of the dashboard, which obviously wasn't right.
I opened the bonnet and the bulkhead was a sea of hammer marks. The panel fit was terrible, and it soon became evident that the van had been totalled in a crash, then the engine removed so the bodyshell could be straightened with a hammer.
Luckily the garage a few doors down from the office, and who did the firm's servicing had just finished working on one of the Maestro vans, so I asked if I could take it.
