Yes - Beware!

The car is advertised on gumtree at the moment and quite cheap. The pictures have the plate blanked out. The guy selling it is a total w*nker! I had arranged to view the car and meet at the forth road bridge. I was all set to come down and asked for the reg to do an HPI check. C505FNY. I thought to myself, I recognise the reg. Did a check, came back stolen in 1991, not a big deal as it was cheap but it was advertised as HPI clear. He knew about it so knew fine well it wasn't HPI clear. He also told me he had owned it 4.5 years and it was his summer/weekend car and it has only had one patch of welding on the sill. I noticed on the HPI check that the last keeper change was June this year. I then clicked why I recognised the reg, it was a car that was local to me and was owned by someone I knew so I actually knew the car. It was absolutely rotten when he sold it in the summer.

Things the seller lied to me about:

How long he had owned it (4.5 years was actually 6 months)
No rust - its a rot box
Only had one patch - If it has been sorted it would have needed every area underneath welded.

I sent the guy a polite text saying I wasn't interested and that I knew the car bla bla. His reply's were a bit wierd and he got very abusive asking if I was on drugs, f*ck you faggot, you don't get S1's with no keeper changes (I never said you did haha) etc etc.

So buyers beware, C505 FNY is not as described, the owner is a liar and the pictures in the advert are not of the same car. One picture has a 4" rolltip and the other is 3.5", the wheels are different and there are some other things.

BEWARE!!
