Default Nathan Rea is a time wasting idiot!

Right ive had enugh of this time wasting joker now!

i won a fiesta on ebay...

THIS
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...lenotsupported

arranged to collect last sun, so booked the trailer and paid the £75 to have the trailer for the weekend after agreeing it was ok to colelct.

Got a txt sat eve after repeatidly trying to get hold of him on the phone and he says cant collect car its started smoking. i tell him im not bothered about it smoking but repatedly get told not to come it wont be going!

so basically after sunday he has ignored any form of communication and im now £75 out of pocket which im not happy bout at all.

i was prepaied to give him the benifit of the doubt but i think he just aint got the balls to tell me outright he has sold it for more money and hope i go away.

basically i wouldnt be supprised if he posts on here so basically if you do your a first class COCK!

Blatantly doesn't want to sell cos it only made £500.

Would break for a few times more than that so he is pulling out because he's too tight to put a reserve, and not enough of a man to stick to a deal.

maybe it has started smoking? ive put of a buyer for my engine because on inspection there was an oil leak and all 4 spark plugs are heavily carbon/sooty. ive not sold it elsewhere but id rather know it was good or a simple fix before letting it go just in case theres problems later on.
mine wasnt on ebay though but an agreement throught the owners club.

even tho i told him i didnt care! he also in the listing put he didnt have the time or money to fix yet he suddenly thought to say he had other issues he had to sort on it first in one of the txt and then after pointed this small fact out he has failed to reply to any form of communication!

basically he's a time waster!

Sounds to me like he just realised he could get more and wants out of the deal.

Hate it when people can't just be up front, especially making you wait til the day before, you make plans sorts stuff out and then get fobbed off.

Leave the bloke neg feedback and move on, aint worth messing around with.

Good angle.

OT. What does carbon/sooty plugs normally signify on an engine? Do you know?

im told its likely a simple mixture issue and probably only needs setting up again. ill get the oil leak fixed then offer it back to the guy if he still wants it but as its a lot of money for the complete engine /box coversion into another e30 id prefer to know for sure its good before someone hands over their cash.

Mixture issue, most likely too rich or something.

Good on you. Plenty of people wouldn't bother and just send it out and leave it to the buyer to sort out.

Sent him this:

'Hi, if I win this car, am I actually allowed to come collect it and pay for it, or is this another of those 'pretend' ebay ads where its not really for sale at the auction-winning price?'
