Yeah cheers guys. U defo made me feel better about it

Maybe he was tryin to hide something. My brother is a mechanic for vw and he went to look at a car once and the pics the trader put up were completely diff to what it was like when he got their so he just drove off again ambit was like a shed he said

 

Stupid question but.. if its been sorn'd for the last three years why bother moting it?

 

I was just about to ask exactly the same thing! Couldn't figure it out myself either??!!

 

Can't be proven and can allow for dodgy mileage?

6 year old STI on 11k is well dodgy imho, and I own a well low mileage car.

 

i stay 2 mins from Croy, cant believe he has done this to you.
never seen this car around

He cant be a genuine seller, as in this current market, most people would meet you and buy lunch if your were buying thier car.

mileage seems a bit suspect, especially if registered to anyone in croy, i would say you avoided a problem car.

plenty more fish in the sea!

 

done a bit of digging, the owner is called Ryan

surname and address to follow
then a list of local fast food places and taxis LOL

 

No way. Gets more and more suspect as it goes along now. How did you manage find out his real name etc.

 

Did you try calling his phone from a different mobile number so he dont know its you ?

 

no i havnt yet, tbh, its pissed me off a lot, but he has my mobile number still, so i dont want to go to far with things as it could potentially esculate

the add it definately getting reported to gumtree though now i no he is using a false name

 

I will stick the link on Scottish Scoobies see if anyone knows the car or him for that matter.

 

mark i,ve never seen this around either mate sounds like there is something to hide i,am also only up the road from this will keep an eye out

 

cheers guys, shame i didnt no some of this before hand, but never mind, gotta stay positive and keep a look out for some other nice ones

 

Mate similar happened to me before when I was in the army.

I was based at Catteric Garrison and seen a add for a Audi S2 in Bradford, so I called the guy got told "it is minted and all above board" so I jumped on the train and went to see it, only to be met buy this idiot with a pile of Sh it with the bumper all held together with silicone sealant and *** burns on the interior. I went mental ! I was going to kill him. I have never seen a guy move so quick in my life lol I am a fairly big guy 18 st and not fat so he sh it his brick when he seen my face go red and the vein on my forehead stick out and reach for his throat lol but I suppose at least he was there tho...

 

Similar to me that, went to a trader in Scunthorpe to view a silver bugeye that he said was a minter on the phone! Got there and on closer inspection there was massive dent on the front diff, rocker cover gasket had gone and a massive cracks on the front bumper and rear spoiler, mmm a real minter eh! Wasn't happy to say the least!

 

damn thats bad, i dont no how they think they can get away with it

 

Better to of wasted £70 & a few hours than to of had nightmares every day after buying of that idiot.

 

very true, the 1 good thing to come out of this is that im most definitely better off in the knowledge that i will eventually get a nice sti, and look back on this and feel glad he didnt show

also makes me more aware and what things are needed to check up on before i go a long distance to view a car
