Ebay dontcha just love it
I found a wrx wagon I thought was worth looking at on ebay Sunday, I messaged the seller and arranged to view tomorrow as he was busy. Offered to buy it now and offered a deposit, very nice gent (sic) replied "I'd prefer if you viewed it first". Drew the cash out, arranged insurance and transport. Today I asked for the address and times and got this reply.
"Hi Steve
Apologies car now sold to family friend.
Regards
Chris
-wilko1011"
Why do Subaru's attract w****rs and wasters?

I placed a deposit on a car very recently. The original deal was to trade my car in with it, with money on top. The guy kept screwing me around in changing the price of what he'd offer on my car and eventually played hardball saying 'I cant take it anymore so it'll have to be cash' I went and got a loan to cover the cash payment, provisionally sold my car, organised insurance, someone to travel the 500 mile round trip with me and time off work only for the guy to drop me a text at the last minute saying 'the rear diff has suddenly broke'
Needless to say I was pi55ed off, but then the little ***** refused to give me my deposit back saying that I could still collect the car in its state for the price already agreed. I was tempted to drive all the way up there to make sure I got my moneys worth on the car with a sledgehammer but there's just no point. Reported it to the police and moved on
Spot on about w***ers and wasters
Hope you get a good one soon

On a more serious note at least no money was spent on eBay dude and at least you didn't buy the car at full price then find a broken diff.
