blueybug Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Guys,Been after a Lupo for a while, I see on on advert for £1400, it was 400 miles away from me so I wanted to be sure this car was'nt a complete lemon!The seller said Oh selling it on behalf of my G/FWe have a V5 and a key no service book........Alarm bells rang!I called VW to get any service history I could ,I found it had 3 yrs worth so I thought ok the mileage must be true as it was only 35,000 on a 2001 model.I did a HPI that came back with fine.I offered £1200 cash for it and I had an email saying yes fine. Arranged my train ticket £71 paid it and told the seller the time etc and all sorted then I got a real ****ty text saying "poke your offer its worth not a penny less than £1400"I could'nt believe it Ive lost out the cash, but I cant believe how this knob had treated me.Gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treblet Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 At least you are doing all the right things and checking these cars out before you hand over the cash!There's far too many people who look at a car and just buy it only to find out later that its been smashed or cloned or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 to be fair it sounds more like guy gets arm twisted to sell car for his GF, setup the deal GF agrees price for add at £1400. BF now does a verbal deal £1200 sounds fair deal done, then GF gets in a strop as she needs it to go for £1400 to pay off some other debts from shoe shopping or similar so sends you a message from his phone. Just feels sorry for the guy and move on IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Why feel sorry for him? Hes the one who agreed on £1200 then went back on his word. If it was his missus twisting about it why didn't he just say that instead of fobbing him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
