Naming and shaming
 

What's ScoobyNet's policy on naming and shaming?

I just want to warn people about a potential money pit and if this one car is anything to go by, the rest of the stock should be viewed with caution.

Feel free buddy, its in our interest to know.

I dont see why not, go on buddy tell us

Unless its a trader on here ofcourse as people dont like hearing its our own that are fcuking people over...... rediculous if you ask me.

Go for it, post away.

Keighly Trade Centre :confused:

Just name them anyway, at least it may get some exposure before the mods delete your post or they may just leave it be :)

I hope there isn't a policy and if there is I'm sorry, but I feel like people need to know. Here's the car, company and description of why.

I went to aspect cars in Sunderland on Saturday to view the car in the attached link, it was advertised at under £4500. When I got there I was told that the car had a deposit on it already (had only been advertised on the Friday night). Anyway I had a good look around the car while they garage looked at mine.

They offered my that car for £500 plus my car, which I was going to go ahead with, until the following was viewed;
Rust bubbles (quite bad) above the front window, would require window out and re-spray to prevent any further damage, still no guarantee there tho.
The front chassis member under the bonnet, where the rad is attached, rusted really badly, possibly to the point where it would need cut out and replaced to repair it.
The boot lid under the spoiler was corroding pretty bad, a new boot lid or a very skilled repair would be required.
The Boot was stinking of damp, would require new carpets at the very minimum.

At this point I decided (bear in mind I'm desperate to get back into a scooby) to walk from the deal, there was just too much work required, then I hadn't even had a look under the car to see inf the chassis/sills were corroding, which they no doubt were judging by the rest of the car.

Now, the people who bought the car have just advertised it for another £2000 and not even bothered to use their own photographs, the pics are still in front of Aspect Motors.

If this car was anything to go by, I'd never touch Jus Sports with a huge fecking barge pole. Just a warning to you potential buyers out there.

Naming and shaming isn't allowed Alan, that's not what you've done though. :thumb:

Hello mate, can't wait to get back into a scooby.

Hope the mods let this one ride, I'd wouldn't touch JS with yours if this performance is anything to go by. Shame really as they have a couple of cars I would have looked at.

You can see the rust under the spoiler even in the photos what a bag of ****e nice one for the heads up people need this kind of info :thumb:

Brilliant, now I'm being abused by him as he now knows he's been outed for selling this rubbish.

These cowboys are the same company as ralliart performance, a quick google show the the lancer register have been all over them for a while.

when I sold my R34 skyline I had a complete tosser from that mobile number ring me and offer me half of what is was for sale for. (you can guess what is said)

A few days later I had another chap ring me and offer me the asking price. It seemed fine no suspicious remarks etc. until he came to pick up the car. he offered me 2.5k less. (once again you know what i said) after a while of pissiong about he offered me the full price and took the car. the next morning it was on the ralliart performance site with all my photos on the ad and my description copied and pasted to his.

The thing is i sold the car with the CEL on, as the speed sensor on the gear box needed replacing. I had a friend ring them up a few days later, just to see if they are replaced the sensor, and was told that no issues at all. So they had blantly removed the bulb, or circuit for the CEL. so if they can'y be bothered to replace a £65 sensor on a skyline, god knows what else they are covering up on other cars.


I know its a bit late but I wouldn't buy any thing from and company that wasn't a recommended supplier of performance cars.

HTH

so emailing him and offering him £4500 for his shed and pointing out this thread wasnt the best move? lol sorrryyyyyy

In all seriousness fella, did the fact that a 47k blob advertised for 4.5k might not be what it seems?
