Tom S Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hi all, It has been coming for a while but I have to announce the end of my love with the Aristo. It has been a horrible year for me and I have lost faith in some traders because of the problems they have caused. You know who you are that is all I will say on the matter. So watch for a thread, but there will be loads of parts coming up as given the car market the car is worth more in bits than as a whole. So watch for a thread advertising parts. Everything from Larger horn, to Defi's to Uk Brakes etc etc etc This includes both sets of Alloy Wheels, A very sad and very much hurting Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I knew this was coming as we've spoken about it a few times, but sympathies all the same buddy. I can't remember which alloys you had, and can't tell from your avatar. They're not the 18" Lexus GS sport ones are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim_supra Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Sorry to hear this Tom, I know you've been thinking about this for a while now but as much as it will be painfull to strip the car, you've made the right choice in breaking it rather than selling as a whole.

Burna Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Bad news mate Is it really that beyond repair that you've got to sell? Or is it that you've just had enough of owning the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom S Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 willing to talk about car price before Monday. I need to point out a couple of things first. The trader who I have a problem with is LOCAL. my Aristo has been at QSD for the last 2 months and I rate all there, that is Jezz, Steve and Jamie as 1000% honest folk. I could not recommend anyone else higher. Thanks to all for their comments, I am known for my passionate side and will miss my Aristo so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Wish I could Jon, Legally though they will only shout and make Branners delete the thread. Lets just say "Deadly Sins" No naming just yet. I am however seeking legal advice re: the car being broken into whilst in their care, all my CD's stolen, and a number of other issues since then. I'm personally out of pocket to the tune of in excess of 4 figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
