Its funny how many people say there car is "immaculate" and then when you get there they start reeling off a list of bits that need fixing I had a guy that told me his rs was "immaculate" and i told him if it was how he had described in the add then i would give him the asking price plus i would pay him to deliver it to me. I told him i will only buy it if it is the way he has described it if it aint then i told him not to bother bring it to me (it was a 400+ mile round trip ) he insisted it was "immaculate" so i said ok can he bring it to me tomorow (as by this time it was 7 at night) he said he can bring it down now i told him by the time he gets here it will be about 11 at night he said thats no problem anyway i thought seeing as he is willing to drive the 400+ miles the car must be immaculate because no one in there right mind would lie about it and drive the car 200+ miles only to be told to do one and have to drive 200+ miles home right??

Well not this guy he finally gets here at about 12 at night and says to me here it is thinking i was just going to hand him the cash so i get my 3 million candle watt torch out and start going over the car his face droped not only was all the things he said in his emails a complet lie but how he had not been pulled in it was amazing not only were the two rear tyres showing the wire the rear arches were rotten(he insisted in his emails that these had been professionally replaced) the roof had what looked like cat claw marks all over it, the engine had a major oil leak the fuse box was rotten(he told me that could be fixed with filler even tho in his email he said the fuse box was mint) it had more car park dents than anything i have seen before he told me in his emails that he had the log book it had 12 months mot on he said it had 6 months tax on it. when i ask to see the log book he told me he forgot it, when i asked where the tax was (as it was not in the window) he said it's in the post and he would send it to me when he gets it and when i looked at the mot it only had 3 months left and this is a car thats he said was immaculate and wanted £3500 for needless to say i sent him packing i was going to pay the cost of his fuel untill his misses started getting gobby so i thought fuck it you aint getting anything now you have got to be a complet tool to drive a car all that way knowing that it's a shiter and hoping that the person buying it dont notice
