Clocked? Seems every car i phone from the Brum/Wolverhampton area are fookin nails. Claming half the miles they actually are


Seems to be a big problem around that area. As everytime i look for new car always a few that way and 9 times out of 10 history is dodgy when you look into them. Used to enjoy looking for new cars, now i hate it as so many dodgy coonts out there.

 

Just dont look at the ones from Brum then.......lol.....

 

what car you after fella ..
and also all the dodgy kunts live around birmingham. Wolverhampton isnt bad tho

 

Looking for a Golf GT TDI.

But had this problem in past when looking for cars aswell. Ah yeah mate full dealer history up to 60k. I phone dealer to chekc and said yeah last serviced last year at double the mileage pmsl.

 

i know of a good car garage in walsall that may have one.

 

its scientifically proven that 100% of cars in birmingham are clocked ,slammed and owned by chav "innit bruvs"

 

Says the guy from Edinburgh

 

Let me know mate! look for a car around 60k or under.

 

You will get a MINTER for that sort of money Rhys

 

PMSL well i mean miles.

 

comparing brum to edinburgh is like comparing dot cotton to kelly brook

 

i.e ridiculous,and im from glasgow where there is no love lost between the the two!

 

i cant argue with that . ya weegie coont.

 

up yours ya biscuit ersed fuzzbag!

 

admittedly id still rather be a weegie than a brummie.

 

Rhys sadly its true, there are far to many dodgy dealers who give us all a bad name. Most my cars have warranted mileage. Some of the part exchanges we get offered have no history etc but are priced accordingly. I think the motor trade in generall suffers this problem.

 

Yes all of us brummies are dodgy cunts.

 

TAbz this was private sale too, but also had prob with "traders". Hard work finding an honest car nowadays.

 

Rhys I know what you mean, its a nasty problem, which unfortunatley leaves potential buyers being put off by anything advertised in Birmingham.
Not good for business.
At the end of the day not every car is clean etc, but a little honestly would'nt go a miss.

 

It's the type of car you're looking for Rhys. They are soo easy to change the milage on, and sooo many people do it.

Buy a Focus ST-TDCi, better car

 

Rhys your problem is that you're looking at cars people buy to put lots of miles on and wanting one with extremely low miles.

Why so low? I'm a trader up here and i cant remember the last mk4 golf gt tdi i saw with under 60k on it...

 

Rab you dont get a ST TDCi and the TDCi engine certainly isnt better.

 

I was sure you did? ST trim with the TDCi engine? Or am I smoking crack again?

As it's an oil burner, I wouldn't really give a shit about the engine. I just really don't like Golfs.

 

You can get a TDCi Sport but not a ST...

Engines arent the best.... neither are the mondy 2.0 tdci either. I ran a focus 1.8tdci for 3 years.....

 

Olli, Just dont reallt want a car with 70k plus mileage when spending half about money tbh as by time i start putting miles on etc...

If people state few marks on a car tbh i dont mind that as atleast you know they are being honest!

 

Ahhhh. I see. Ah well. I'd run a trabant over a Golf though

 

is it a specific problem to brum then?? or just golf mk4s in general???

I thought liverpool was the capitol of dodgy cars??

 

Brum is the capital of real dodgy shed Cars.. I agree with the comments above regarding Wolverhampton/walsall..

 

Yep, I am wary of traders in brum tbh, not really fair, but that's life.

 

i was waiting for someone to post that.

 

i was told by a police officer pal of mine that bradford is the worst for sheer car dealing dodgyness, and that to "no matter what the car or deal do not buy a car in bradford"!!

 

or "what do you call a scoucer in a 3 bed detached"
sorry dave

 

Oh well given up on a Golf for awhile. Bought another car last night, not something i was exactly looking but hey ho

 

What did you buy mate?

 

Well I live in that sort of area (Out in the countryside though) and I've bought a LOT of cars in the past 5 years and I always end up travelling a long way to buy them. I've never bought a car locally barring a Series 3 Land Rover from a farm, lol

 

Got a 306 GTI-6 was cheap enough, few bits need doing but was cheap and very straight car. Couldnt let it go Will see how i get on with it, but still looking for good Golf TDI.
