Default Ripped off by a fellow Scooby member from Edinburgh

This post has been re-introduced, due to an idiot getting the previous one deleted by idiotic postingand threats of which i do not condone. I bought a P1 off a fellow scooby netter on here, who has over 2000 posts and is in the EDINBURGH (fairmile head) area of Scotland. I thought that a fellow scoobynetter who promises to tell all about the P1 he is selling will tell all But he forgot to divuldge quite a bit of info about the car and where he got it from. I have e-mailed/left messages/text'd and more, but this guy who i bought the car from, who previously divulged himself after everyone checked on recent P1 for sale posts....kart_man (dave morgan) has decided to dissapear. Now i have offered him the chance to sort the situation out, but all he wants to do is record conversations/ tell me porkys and seemingly hide in the never regions of scotland.How many other people have bought cars off this guy? if you have i would be interested to know...and so will you.

I remember him, he was selling a nice midnight purple Skyline R33 GTR about a year ago, along with the scooby P1.

You mean it wasn't a P1? Was it a PS2?

Sorry, very confusing thread.
Slate me if you want

BTW, post count is b@gger all. It's not like Ebay feedback. He could have been posting bollox on Muppets and NSR for what you know
Anyway, careful next time and hope you sort it

i read most of the previous posts on this the other week. i dont post often but i do read a hell of a lot of posts on sn. the law should do more about this kind of thing because some people might not have had the car checked and been driving it about in that condition, hate to think about the possibilities.

Contact the webmaster and let him know about his dodge. Webby might know his current whereabouts in real life. He may turn out to be totally genuine. Might just be some kind of communication hiccup<shrugs>
Hope so, anyway.

All the best.

afaik the car was badly damaged and bodged back togeather, the chassis was shorter on one side than the other, the repairs were covered over with oil, a pre prepaired hpi report was offered (obviously falseified (sp) ) no mention of any damage at all was mentioned, yet the seller had been advertising previously on wanted for p1 body parts...

he has talked to the seller and they have promised call backs, emails etc and nothing has come from it.

Thats crazy lol, theres such a thing as trading standards in all walks of life. Even if it was private its obviously grossly misadvertised and a danger on the roads.

No way he should just lie down and take this, the seller deserves serious reprocussions whatever they may be
