Tom Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Everyday I look through pitonheads,autotrader,exchange & mart etc at various cars and lately the amount of times I'll see the same car appear a few days/weeks later with a new high price and bullsh*t reason behind selling is getting rather annoying! I'm all for someone taking a cheap car,fixing it up and making a profit but when they blatently lie in the ad and do nothing with the car it pees me off These 2 I've picked out, first was on ebay for £1500ono 2/3 weeks ago, it appeared a few days later on ph for double the price with the same problems, the pics on ebay were in what looked like a scrap yard and the car was covered in mud and looked like it had been sitting there a for very long time and it was still unregistered I believe http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/850201.htm 2nd, this was on autotrader about a month ago from a trade seller for £1100, again a bs reason on how he got it. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/873069.htm If they had just advertised the cars without the crap reasons behind them i'd be cool with it but it makes me weary about wanting to deal with someone like that /rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course which is why I put this I'm all for someone taking a cheap car,fixing it up and making a profit but when they blatently lie in the ad and do nothing with the car it pees me off but it annoys me when they don't do anything to solve the issues with the cars I'm not trading anymore btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 In storage = sitting in a scrappy? going by the pics that were in the ebay ad a few weeks ago yep and seeing as it has 6 months mot, I suspect the previous owner mot'd and left it in the yard all that time for whatever reason and never registered it like I say it's not the fact they're making a profit, it's just the lies behind the ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 This is why I don't always agree with the current, cheap = shed or 'you get what you pay for' mentality. Ok yes, cars are usually cheap/cheaper for a reason but sometimes better this than expensive for no reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
