hi peeps
spent 6hrs yesterday making a round trip to look at this shed of a car
for starters the car was warm when i get there sat on a driveway with the gates shut
no rust on the arches thats because there full of filler and never welded underneath
well pretty hard to tell mate because there is 2inches of fresh underseal under the car
pile of crap why cant some people just tell the truth

 

always annoying when a car is purposely warmed up!

 

looks ok from the pics but pics only tell u so much i guess!..and he says its had the best part of 1800 spent on it,thats not really alot when it comes to cosworths tbh!

 

He had a reciept for some new rings but none for the engine rebuild, he claimed that the rest of the parts were off ebay so had no reciepts.

 

sounds like a billy bullshitter mate

 

he was mate i done one after lifting the bonnet and the engine was warm
must of been there all of 3minutes

 

anyone can say its had a rebuild, really annoys me why people cant be honest about a car, if anything it makes me feel better about buying a car from an honest owner but sadly they are far a few between!

 

He says he "brought it" in the description. That says it all!

 

what did he say when you said all of what you found? was he playing dumb?

 

Looks a well written advert too, cars that are shady are usually from wanky illiterate morons, you sure he knew about it? ....although the pre-warmed car isn't a good sign of a straight seller I agree.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Gutted for ya mate..

 

i'd not touch an RS without a folder full of paperwork after owning one! lol.

my orion has over 4k worth of reciepts from me, and nearly 2k of that is for an engine build, with a bullet pointed spec'd rebuild from NMS. shame the car isn't even worth that with the engine though

 

well from the fresh underseal which was a day old if that, he knew what he was doin.
To be honest anyone thats warming the car up before you get there is a c*nt,
and i personally was not gonna buy it after that.From the look of him and the way he spoke he did not write that advert lesson learnt i guess.I didnt bother looking at paperwork
the bloke is a chancer the car is worth 3.5k at most

 

your pissed off now, but think how pissed you'd be if you had bought it and you'd be 6 grand lighter! .

it could be worse mate.

 

What a prick,pretty expensive car as well,if as described it would have been quite reasonably priced but as you said,why bull it up?
If it struggles to start from cold etc,just say in the advert,it's an old car and we expect problems,even on the day of sale,shit happens doesn't it?

A phone call would have been something if there was a problem but as you said the twat clearly knew what he was up to.

I've had to do a load of welding on my ebony one but ive photoed before and after and I've never claimed it was mint,although I found out it was owned by a vicar the other day,it's been chipped too so he obviously had a bit of devil in him too!!!

Its been painted now and I've treated all the rust on it,replaced panels where I could but I can never guarantee it won't come back so I wont take the piss on price and claim it's mint.

I think as the Rs phenomenon grows momentum now,people are simply taking the piss,look at that ringer White one on here the other week,floor numbers drilled the lot and the guy wanted Ł6500 for it,I'd value that at no more than Ł3500 and thats as a breaker!!!!

There's been some lovely ones on here in the for sale section fella,I suppose just keep looking.

 

Sadly the trade is full of little billy the bullshitter types.
Got no morals or standards, simply out there to rip off any old mug.

Deluded bunch of twats!!

 

well written add, pictures are a bit shit but then guess even lots of pictures still dont tell the real story.

Makes you feel like giving the owner a slap for the wasted time but they would be on the phone to the old bill before you could get back in your car.

 

It doesnt look to bad on the pics. Shame you got messed about. Just keep lookin mate there are plenty about at the mo. Have you seen that rouse saff which is on ph(well it was still on last nite) that looked like a good care too. It was cheap for a rouse.

 

thanks for the replys peeps
ive had a clean sapphire before then turned to the dark side lol
so i know what im looking for, the search continues

 

Obvious the bloke was a cunt. Look at the nasty numberplates!

 

got a link to the ad with the ringer?i want a nosey!

 

Gimmie 5 mins,I saw it on eBay ,but there was a huge thread on here about it and someone on here had seen it at a tuning firm with the floor drilled!!!!

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-FORD-SIER...#ht_1158wt_922


This is the one.

 

I'm sure the car the op posted is on there too.

 

cheers,had a look on here but cant find it.you got a link to the thread on here?i love being nosey.i cant get on ebay from this work computer so cant see the ebay ad.

 

Obviosly the guys a cock. Should have gave him a slap
In the mouth for your trouble

 

To Cossie362...............
You seem like a real nice bloke NOT.
In fact I'd ask who it is in this forum that is ACTUALLY being honest, cos i put it to you that it's NOT YOU!!!!
I have it on good authority that you have actually been viewing some other cossie's for sale all of a similar stance & rubbishing them because you yourself are trying to increase the value of the Cossie that YOU are SELLING.
**WHAT A CARD***

 

Just the multi coloured under bonnet view says it all...bleuurggghh...

 

looks like the owners finally arrived!

 

I think I was too honest when wrote the ad for our cossie and someone got a bargin

It is annoying when you find a good car for sale, phone the seller first who bends the truth to find out it's far from as described when get there and a waste of you time

 

WOW!!so who's telling the truth then?

 

So was the car actually cold when he got there, and was the underseal done weeks ago?

 

A 6 hour round trip to rubbish another car to better the chances of selling your own?
Are you serious?
If he was gonna do that he should just give the car away as he'd be spending all the cash in fuel travelling!

 

Firstly the guy was in a works van as had a job local to the area, secondly yes the car was warm - was it ever claimed that the car was not in use???? By 1pm on a Sunday the kids had been swimming & the shopping done! Thirdly he claims BS about the engine rebuild?? He never asked he never looked in the folder of paperwork & lets just say he did ask, why when i have already stated all relevant info in my ebay listing would i tell him the story that he is claiming (the story that btw just happend to be completly different to the info i poseted in my listing???)
Also he never felt the arches, never looked under the car???
In all honesty i cannot physically understand, & I'm at a total loss.
I have been contacted by email via ebay by two other seller to ask if cossie362 had contacted me, as he had been in contact with them....
If anyone wishes to come & take a look under the car if you are local please do so.
My solicitor advises an independant inspection to support claims for slander.
Like i said if anyone is local please come & look at the car see for yourself then i won't have to defend myself against slanderous remarks.

 

PMSL at that line you Dingle

 

that line made me lol too

 

mate im a sparks that lives in windsor
why would i be working in stoke on trent on a sunday afternoon lol
you said you dont use the car anymore joker hence why your selling it
good luck with the sale
i only looked at your turd because a sale with jemison on here fell through for his white saff
which was genuine.

 

Seems like you need answer you own question's 1st. And NO i never stated they car was not in use i stated that the wife refused to drive it & that is wasn't suitable for a 60mile round trip to work & back.
But.... did you ask this? NO!

 

can you confirm that the car has not been undersealed in the last few weeks? and secondly can you confirm what was replaced in the rebuild (engine) and do you have recepits? lastly, who built the engine?

 

..... Also like i said any1 want look for themselves feel free, & LOL at the solicitor point all you want guys you won't be the 1 receiving the letter!!
It's defamation of character .... what did you say cossie362 by the looks of me & how i talk i look like an illiterate _______??
For me this is a mute point to be dealt with by 3rd party
