Ring them and ask for Paul, if they have touched the motor he will know.

 

That's a nice car dean - but a bit too much for my wallet.

PSlewis - lmao

Well i've texted the guy asking exactly what work had been done on the car for £14470 but no reply yet. Damn I need a car to drive that's not a metro.

 

Thanks for that will do tomorrow.


BTW this is the car in question if anyone knows it, nice condition - I was going to remove most of the stickers.

OMG - looked on RAC reg check the change of keeper was a day after I put the deposit on it :-/

 

Precisely the point that i made in post #6

 

Walk away - get your deposit (if you can)

It is a buyers market out there - and there are plenty of cars

Dan

 

Selling on behalf of his brother?

Change of keeper day after your deposit?

MOVE OVER on the bonnet?

Telling you that you have to pay for some work on it?

WALK AWAY!!!!

Like has been said ........... there are genuine proper Imprezas out there for sale - do yourself a favour, forget the mods. forget the stickers, go for a 1 owner UK car and modify it when/if you want to later!!

Pete

 

Thats why i said around.
Cheers Dean

& not just because im selling, I would do as everyone else has said , Walk away, Generally when things don't feel right there not
Dean

 

correct me if im wrong but the e bay advert said it has had the cambelt had been changed recently if the leak from the seal was that bad would (scoobysport) not have noticed it then and advised to change it? not sure? agree with the others sounds a bit dodgy try and get your deposit back and wait for another one theres plenty of nicer examples out there for that money and alot more genuine

 

Just an update on this - still haven't heard from the tit, don't think i'll get my deposit back unless I go down the small claims route.

Anyway I took everyone's advice and found another car (see link below) within my budget, newer and I don't need to spend time and money de-chavving this one

That is really nice Nice one

 

So wheres all the 5k W reg for sale
LMAO

 

JimVVC, that looks 100% better than thew original one you were looking at, hope you enjoy it.

 

Count yourself lucky you'd only put a couple of hundred down and got to walk away. Cos if you'd have bought it that would have been you picking up the tab for the repair. But just to confirm, it definitely doesn't cost £1500 to repair a crankshaft oil seal. I should know, mine just went and it was much much less than that thanks to Scooby Shack near Norwich, who I would recommend whole-heartedly BTW.

 

Nice looking car and good price.

 

i am a mechanic and i recently changed cambelt , crank seal and the 4 camchaft seals usin all genuine parts and the job was 300 . the ***** is tryin to have your pants down . get ya deposit back and poke him in the eye
