Just a little post wondering if anybody else has ever experienced some not so wonderful honest car sellers – be it private or trade - like I have in the past.
I have owned a few cars in the past and have experienced all kinds of poorly described vehicles and im sure the owners where really hiding the problems.
Went to see a Freelander a few years back (Why o why I did this is beyond me – I thought I new best and didn’t listen to the CORRECT advice from You forum guys)
The chap on the phone said it was a fantastic motor and there wasn’t anything wrong with it. I got there and 3 of the 4 tyres were down to metal, the car would make a nasty crunch in 3rd and the thing would never get up to temp – I assumed the stat was removed on purpose.
About 5 years ago I went to see a 1995 BMW e36. The seller said that the car was a good runner – which it was – the body work was mint and never involved in a accident under his ownership.
The car had a hole in the roof above the windscreen that I could get 2 fingers in and the silly chap left a accident damage report and a receipt for over £2000 worth of work to the back end where it had been in a crash in with the service folder.
I have also bought some right lemons through my own stupidity but that’s another matter.
Anyone else got any light hearted stories?
