Poor Lass

I would never trust a stranger and hand money over, not even on a Ł1000 car. Too many dodgy folk out there!

Hope they find the bastards

Chops called last night to ask if it was the same car i've just bought but the main differences are,

1. I've actually seen the car i have purchased.
2. I've given it a test drive
3. have checked all the documents in person
4. have only left a deposit and will pay the full amount tomorrow when i collect it.

Feel sorry for the lass but you need to reaserch these things before you buy.
I went through the process of PM's etc on the CSL site regarding the one i've bought as you just cant be sure so best to check if anyone knows the car even before you go and look at it.

The majority are, and I assume this is because of it's popularity. But, their was two colour options and one was black.

To be brutally honest though in todays world, anybody that pays for a car like that without seeing it or driving it is asking for trouble by getting taken for a ride either financially or buying a dog of a motor. Not that she deserved to get done over tho.
