forgot to add the guy is fitting the dump valve before i pick it up, he prefers the chatter noise

 

Dump valve are annoying. Sounds like a bus

 

lol ill prob end up going back to the chatter noise after the dv has done my head in

 

lol I guarantee you will. Looks a nice 1.
What are your plans with her?

 

plans are get the few jobs done then get her thru the mot next month, then if you check my 1st post the engine etc plans are on there

 

i aint had the rs as it was a right nail and needed lots of tlc and money throwing at it just shows never go off pics, the list of stuff that was wrong and needed doing was unreal and the guy only told me very few things, he couldnt even be arsed to wash and hoover it and it looked like it hadnt seen any polish for months. oh well ill have to wait until the right one comes along

 

Nightmare, did you travel far too?

 

i was actually after this but had to wait to see if you brought it, the guy emailed me saying that you didnt buy it and he wasnt going to lie, it needed some money spent on it for mot. what exactly was wrong with it? save a fellow member a wasted trip lol

 

150 miles mate

 

send you a pm mate

 

also was looking at this ,then found out it was stolen recovered back in 2006
WHICH HE DIDN'T LIST!!!

what was wrong with it?

 

iv spotted a couple of other frst one is totally original and in a1 condition its a bit out of my price range atm tho so iv had his details and going keep in touch, other one is in mercury grey which again is totally original and is in my price range

 

nothing worse than traveling a lot of miles to be dissapointed by the vehicle viewed

 

Looks decent in the photos, just goes to show you can never judge a car by a few photos, especially when it's an RS that's the large part of twenty years old!

 

That happened to me last thursday went to do a deal on car that looked mint on the pics and the spec was quality when i got there it was a right sack of **** luckily i only had to travel 30 miles but it was 30 miles too far i cant wait to get a new car either i was gutted

 

tell me about it proper gutted i was it was so neglected and needed a lot of money spending on it to get it right

 

the car i was looking at needed a good 1800 on it at first the guy tried to ask for my car and £500 then he went to a straight swap and now he's offered me £1000 and his car what a joke

 

haha bloody hell thats never right, this car required at least 1.2k spending on it and thats before the mot lol

 

have you ever thought mayb because there a recessionn on there was no money left to spend on it hence the sale i told you everything you wanted to know even with you ringing me at 7 in the morning and about 5times a day asking questions that you could have asked on the day,
i thought you were a decent bloke but spose you can never go on first impressions,

This is y there is loads of ford's sitting on people's drives rottin away because people cant afford to keep them going and people like you slag them to the ground, and they dont sell so they sit on the drive rotting.

 

or you just neglect em ya didnt tell me anywhere near any of the stuff that was fount when i got there, reason i kept asking is cuz i had to travel a very long way and i was going be without a car so if the car was as u said it was then i was going have it, but it wasnt at all

anyway if i was u id change ur advert on pistonheads to something more honest as its not good condition its nowhere near and list everything thats needed then people wont have a wasted journey like me and people might not be as nice as i was as well

 

can a mod please remove this thread as its irrelevant now
