I'd have to agree, i'd give the money back... You still have the car, and if the puma is that good, then it shouldn't be difficult at all to sell it...

I'd give her £80 back and keep £20 for readvertising and time wasting, which seems fair as a lot of people have said

Well Heres the conclusion to the fiasco.

The boyfriend called round to our house long before i goy home so the Mrs refunded the whole £100
Oh well was only thinking of £20 penalty anyway so not the end of the world.

Then we have a call from one of his mates asking about the car Calls round & after testing to satisfaction Buys the car for the same money

Has left £100 deposit which we have agreed is now NON REFUNDABLE & collect on Wednesday

He even said one of the reasons he came round was due to his pal saying what nice decent people we are




Just goes to show doing the right thing was the best action after all
Fair play to my Mrs

To be fair, it's not like you wont sell the car...

I've left a deposit on somthing before then due to unfoseen circumstances not been able to go thru with the sale and it's like a fuk off big kick in the teeth, if she was just screwing you over i'd say keep it, but under the circumstances...

And as for her getting a massive payout, that aint gonna happen is it? cuz rovr have no money, so all there gettin is the minimum there allowed from the government... 2 weeks wages is it? sommat like that, poor bastards
