So why did you buy 3 "duffers" that you had been lied about??
^^
I think he meant we won the auction or offered the BIN/price on an ad but when he got there they weren't as described.
I assume he didn't still honour the purchase.

Some insurers will not incrase premiums a lot some will. If you are neither too young nor too old, no points, no accidents not in bad area you will still find some great deals on your insurance no doubt....
But than some insurers do not like points, others some ages, some aas of the country and of cause mods. So too many such factors and you will find that the cheapest insurers just will not quote and you are paying through the nose.
That's why I would not consider buyin a moded car unless the price was low enougph to cover reversing the mods.
Yep, exactly - the other two failed HPI checks. Both were cat c write offs and one had also been stolen and recovered as well.
This pees me off because i would be broke if i did checks on every car i bid on so did it post winning. There is no reason why ebay, autotrader etc could not link up their systems to flag write offs compulsory as part of the listing.
Lastly why the hell do people hide their plates? I can see their car on the street even easier than on the internet. Can also make a note of their vin when its on the street. I just dont get it?
It makes me look like some kind of west coast gangster drug dealer!
Blackpool???
To be honest £2300 is a lot of money for a W210 these days so I would want the car to be spot on.
I didn't even get a grand for my 60k E320. In lovely condition, no faults and all the important bits done. Rust wise only a few small bubble on the front wings.
And yet it seems that some people on here regard such practices as legitimate sales techniques. For what it's worth, I think the law should allow buyers to take a stick to sellers like that.
Well if car is actually purchased via ebay than at least something can be done. For example seller who misrepresented the car could in theory be sued for a loss of bargain or at least for the cost of wasted journey that took place after the sale on ebay. It is more difficult (though probably no impossible) to find a cause for action if thee is no contract prior to the journey. Of cause suing is time consuming and after judgement is obtained actually getting money is another thing that just might not happen.
Sounds like the car needs a new battery and a brake lamp switch...
Poor attitude by the seller though... he should have fixed those and then asked another £1000.
