Jamesy Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 BTW sorry to hear you've been mis-sold - not everyone is clued up on cars and for this to happen is a p!ss take.....i would go and get your money back mate if u can. If you manage to get your £5k back i saw a lovely TT auto for sale earlier this week in silver for £5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Why all the negative comments guy's the bloke is new and yes he maybe a little foolish but we have all done it:) Theres always going to be a mixture of comments Adam from being helpfull to nasty to taking the mickey. There can't be many folks who have made such a big mistake and i feel for the op but this does show that you really need to check everything and do your homework first before buying any car let alone one with so many variants. If it can be proved the car was sold as a tt then i'd have thought there would be some chance of getting your money back but if bought from a private sale unless the seller is a good chap it could be a long drawn out battle. I always print a copy of the advert and take it with me when im buying a car so its described as in the ad and you have that for referance If it was out the autotrader i'd contact them to get a back issue of the paper perhaps depending how long ago it was Edited June 22, 2010 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroybarry Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Yeah I should be able to email on my phone.

Lbm Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Why all the negative comments guy's the bloke is new and yes he maybe a little foolish but we have all done it:) Errmm no...no that's not entirely true. I suspect none of us have ever done it. Still, if we can help we will. Morning Leroy Note to Ewen: I did not know about the Buddah & butterfly thing thing. I have my receipt and I'm going back to exchange. Thank you sir - you have transformed my day. I only hope the OP can find some hope in this display of club member comraderieerieerie and genuine bonafide garden centre knowledge.

Dave17 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I wouldn't say it's all the sellers fault. It's down to your own idiocy you bought a pile of crap and you have nobody to blame but yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallshinyant Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Out of interest, how did you find figure out there was no turbo? im guessing if you were not aware of how turbo cars behave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 To be fair if you had replied to some of the questions and comments in your new member post people might have been able to help you avoid this but that's in the past, it's done now and if you can't sort anything out with the seller you need to enjoy what you have. People here will be able to help you with info on most things, just make sure you ask and wait for an answer before you do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Was this a private sale or a car trader ? How long ago ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 you never asked me if it was a turbo or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 in all seriousness though (if this is a serious thread) sh!t happens. my best mate brian o'connor bought an NA thinking it was a TT. Even his mates didnt notice when he popped the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Within 24hrs, I think we've found our "2010 - Boot-release award for services to mkivsupra.net" You dont get out of it that easy mate. On the other hand if it was on auto trader im sure they keep records of what they add to their site like cache files Also who in the hell would go buy a car without even looking at it and even opening the bonnet to check things out. I just cant help but think you live under a bridge and eat goats as they try to cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Leroyblindbarry, When you went to view the car with the intention of buying, did the guy actually call it a Twin Turbo and did he open the bonnet for you? You must have some balls to say a car has turbos and then open the bonnet in front of the potential buyer. What exactly was he expecting you to say,... or see for that matter. errm, You didn't take a Labrador dog wearing a fluorescent jacket with you when you went to view the car, did you mate?

SupraStar 3000 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Touch of sharden freuder Edd? No mate. The doctor gave me the 'all clear'. Must have been a heat rash or sum'it. Either way, I'm glad its gone as the itching was driving me mad. oh,... sharden freuder in all seriousness, I hope you find a resolution to your problem. We all take the piss of each other so don't take this personal. Hope the guy that sold you the car gets his desserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
