how do these people sleep at night? b@5tards

Quite easily... unfortunately!

Blake I was on the slow connection with a pc that is hanging. So i was typing and hoping all the key strokes registered.....seem some of the punctuation went walkies....


Yep we had a a similar experiance just a few months ago .......but we didnt deal

I'm not saying this guy didn't, but always be careful with a private sale, Always have a landline phone number and make sure the person selling it and the Adress you get it from are the same as the ones on the V5.

Not too long ago I was involved with an 08 plate Impreza....


Turned out the poor guy had bought it from a guy on Ebat for £14000 cash !

Met him on a motorway service station somewhere, didnt do the usual precautions.


His lovely new car he owned a full 24 hours till it was taken off him, £14000 lighter .


Dont suppose anyone here would do such a thing as buy like that, but shat happens


And the shat doing such deeds are plentiful !
