Gambit Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Ohhh yeah I'd be a bit worried knowing that :( If I did risk it and it is a risk give it a full check to the point you **** him off because you check it all. Unless it comes with full paper work of work carried out and the damage listed I.e a trusted Cat write off :( best go scare that lady down the road I think :D
Miggs Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 apparently the guy that found out about the write off said the seller pleaded ignorance saying he knew nothing about it, also someone said they have a high turnover of classics and the one you see in the pic may not be the one you see when you get there, all seems a bit dodgy so i think i'll be giving them a wide birth
Jay762 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 That does sound a bit ropey to me - checking with the local one may prove fruitful
Gambit Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Ouch yeah that would be enough for me to run a mile :)
Miggs Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 was looking at his cars for sale again last night and there was a guy on facebook said he had bought one of the white classics, i did notice he'd gone from selling two to one, then last night there were two again, the new one that had appeared was the same one the facebook guy bought, i did a reg check on both white cars and both were registered as silver, looks like he's getting a WIIIDDDDEEEE birth from me just incase anybody else comes across them heres the link ebay link 1
Jay762 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Another eBay id to be avoided - might be worth its own thread at this rate 1
Gambit Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Another ebay id to be avoided - might be worth its own thread at this rate Agreed and not to try start a debate but the name with the dodgyness of the cars doesn't after the last eBay member that is a bit of a wide boy
RB318 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 Just bit of an update for everyone garage have said they are prepared to do work themselves under warranty. Car is going in 2moz for proper inspection by themselves. To be honest don't really want them working on engine but I have to give them the opportunity to inspect properly and sort themselves. Ideally want them to make me other for contribution so can go to a specialist for work done as even if they do the work themselves I'm still going to have a rebuild with specialist to make sure all done right. Saves wasting their time and mine? 2
Gambit Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Well thats good to hear at least they will sort it, but think they have too really. As for rebuilds depending where you want to go and a bit of a travel but Martin in Sheffield or Tlag and Bip in Coventry other than Scoobyworld in Leicester only people I would let do mine now . But you might know others thats just from my personal choice :)
Miggs Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Brian at cams in Blackburn Lancashire too Sent from my Nexus 7
Jay762 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 That is a great result, good to hear they will at least look to rectify the issue, gives you time to look about and decide who you would like to complete the higher spec rebuild
Gambit Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Is a few around in Lincoln but I've not heard good or bad reviews from them.
