my missus passed her test so we are on the look out for a little car for her we rang few places and found a black pug 206 xsi 1.6 in black her desired color.#

 

so i ring the bloke and said look what would u take for it cash he said 2700 i said ok whats the deal with the car any marks or dents on car which he said nah clean as a whistle, cool ok whats the brakes and tyres like he said like new just been done, cool.

 

we get there 100 mile journey to find front and back has had a smash the lower halfs of the bumper are still flat and need laqured, i said has this been bumped, nah deffo not ok so has it had paintwork nope he said, what a waste of time and the two tyres were baldy and one lock had been damaged why didnt he just tell me instead of wasting my and my missus day off, he even said do u wanna come and see the docs.

 

if my lass went up by herself she said she would of bought it she was still keen when we were there i had to tell the guy am going around the corner to discuss with my lass when i told her theres no way we are buying that which nearly had her in tears.

i know mate but its the guy who annoyed me should of been honest and i wasnt expecting immac but to be told all new tyres no marks on car to find that dog of a car pissed me off.

 

u got to be carefull out there but if he sold it at a cheap price and we knew what we were buying then fair dos but he claimed it was in god nick it was a shambles for a 99 model

Had this before i bought the supra, went to birmingham (130 mile round trip) having phoned the guy in the morning, it was a RX7 uk spec and he said if you know what your'e looking for in a RX7 then you will buy this one blah blah:swear: , got there and it was about four different shades of red, just looked at the guy and walked out, really annoying

i have been lucky as when i bought my foucs the guy was genuine and was spot on and i bought no hassles same as whem my little brother bought his rover 25, this guy was a complete liar, a little trivial thing he forget to mention can be excepted but not a write off and not even fixed correctly for that matter as if it had of been done properly i may have knocked some money of his price as its what she wanted

I'm afraid there is the very reason why the chappie lied - people come to buy a car, they expect to buy a car, so once they are there they tend to buy a car. That's half the battle - getting the person there. Once they're standing infront of it they'll overlook some of the problems and you might make a sale.

 

Not for one second defending the guy, mind. When the trip is that long a bit of honestly goes a long way.
