RATBOYMK3 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hi all, small item of importance, spotted a loop gti on Pistonheads last eve. Called the guy based in halifax about the car. All seemed good, pics were nice, girlfriend loved it- sorted, or so i thought. Agreed a price, arranged for a guy to pick it up as i am based in northern ireland. Went on the bay this mornin lookin for a few nice bits, spotted the same car for sale at almost 2k less. Called the guy bout it, all of a sudden played dumb said it was his brother who must have put it up behind his back, ai right. Told me last night car never been hit but on the bay recorded as cat d. Also said on the ad he had a new s'less system which was goin with the car, yet never mentioned it to me. Told me he would ask his brother about it, yet it was his name,number and details funny that, needless to say he was ranted at and told to shove it, strong words i know but was he not out of order?Car is a silver gti, 53k, private plate v4 sax, dude's name is jav, watch your back peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT-aye-lad Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Great heads-up on this one!I had already emailed the guy about coming to look at the car, but after reading this I'll steer well clear Oh, and one small gripe...please don't refer to Halifax as Huddersfield it's known round here as "Scallyfax" for good reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lauryn Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 What a cheeky lovely person, hes already selling it cheap so may as well confirm its been in a crash! I've had a crap day, got a good mind to phone him just to have a rant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 The thing is, I wouldn't be put off buying a Cat D repaired car if it'd be done well, was clean and had history. I just dont approve of the sneaky way he's selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
