Yeah it can be as far as I'm concerned aswell. I've been to a couple of dealerships recently helping my mate get a decent car as he has no idea. It's hilarious listening to what some of the salesmen have to say when there is a fault with a car. My friend has been looking at a few Fiat Punto's for some reason.....and this one I checked was getting real hot, real quick after about 10 minutes of normal driving. The bloke said it's because they had it running when they were cleaning the car and that every car does it in this weather! What a load of Bull!! I told him to steer clear of them. eBay is a similar story, I mean if you're looking for something specific then it's a bit difficult to get exactly what you're looking for. eBay offer cover though I think for those who are the victim of opportunists. I tried to buy a steering wheel the other day there, but the guy said I was messing him about when I asked for pictures as there were none. If I'd have bought it and it would have been a fake or something, I would have had no leg to stand on as there were no pictures or detailed description of it some of these people have no conscience.

I find it mad that when you have the money to go buy the car you want there arnt any local. As soon as you buy one they all start to pop up just around the corner from where you live lol.

Then on the other hand if you're trying to SELL a car, you have all the dicks offering you half what you're asking etc.
Not forgetting the scammers and theives too.
Mate advertised his non-runner Series 1 turbo couple years ago, had some dudes down looking at it, they didn't buy it but warned him of a lot of S1s going missing.
Few nights later, his GFs Golf had the handbrake cables cut, moved out the way and the S1 was taken out of the garage.
Gone.

That really pisses me off, I drove all the way from Bristol to the other side of Heathrow and when I asked the bloke if the car had any signs of accident damage repairs he said it didn't ! When I got there I realised the car had been hit more times than Frank Bruno and each repair came with a different shade of blue ! When the bloke asked if I was interested I just told him straight, he was either a complete idiot or a flat out liar. He just stood there and shrugged when I pointed out the piss poor colour match and shocking panel gaps !
