a group of 5 guys just turnt up to look at my impreza, had a look around the car. then wanted to test drive the car, so all was good until this point. then he got in the car with one of his mates, aswell as me and my mate. put it in first hit the limiter and let the clutch up. bang the fu@3kin gearbox. what the f@!k is with that?


im well pissed got to get another gearbox and now im getting threats down the phone.

look out if people turn up in a Audi A3 in light blue. apparently for birmingham.

hope this helps anyone that encounters them.

 

Tw@ts!

 

Moral to the story, don't let some knacker drive YOUR car until THEY have paid for it.

 

mate i have bought soo many cars over the 9 years i have been driving and not once i have paid for it first. i think this is just bad luck for the seller you obvioulsy have had a bad experiance and unfortunetly for you had a bunch of wasters come round and take it too far.

 

Sorry to here whats happend I'd of been suspicious at the start mate when 5 guys turn up to view ma car,and only the one who was buying it would have got in it, and it would have been in the passenger seat. I would have been doing the driving. Hope you get it sorted soon....

 

What
5 guys turn up to see my car they aren't driving it without twocking it.
In fact I made a point of telling anybody they cant drive it until I have the money in my hand. The buyer understood and was happy with me driving. Red line in every gear but 6th heavy braking no hand on the wheel etc as long as you drive as asked no problem.
I would expect the same when buying.

 

Never sold a car yet.

If mine was up for sale, no one would be driving it other than me.

If something let go, fine my fault. If a prospective buyer was driving and blew something up, like above, then they'd just walk away and I'd be left to pay for their twattish driving.

Not going to happen. Mates have driven mine before, and me their cars. On the proviso, they break it they pay for it, and vice versa.

 

Ive sold a few lol and never ever does any buyer drive it not with out giving me the cash if they then say no i give it em back ...

 

fud how about if they come with insurance? still no test drive?

 

gotta be careful my mate had a gsxr 1000 for sale a couple of years ago bunch of pikeys turned up had a look round wanted test drive i was there with me mate made em hand over cash before hand luckily any way guy dissapears for ten mins comes back by drops in 2nd nails it round corner to show off too mates and dropped bike about 70mph hit curb with him still onit flipped him into wall blood pissing out of his mouth ears etc they picked him up and slung him in back of transit and ****ed off rang next day after money back as ol matey came to and reckon it didnt "handle properly"
always take money 1st or no test drive

 

That's bad luck mate! hope you get it sorted and that it don't cost you too much but does sound dodgey! bast*rds!!!!

 

Have to agree with Micky, nobody will test drive my car. Passenger ride as a test drive until you have paid in full is the only way I would deal. I may make an exception based on judgement (and proof of fully comp insurance cover for my car) on the day, but some knacker turning up with four mates from Birmingham wouldn't have a hope.

Thanks for the warning anyway and hope you get things sorted.

 

^^ Agreed. No one would drive my car & if 5 lads turned up I'd stop it there!

i'm sorry but if some *** come to buy my car and did that to it,first i would have punched him senslous until he told me were he lived.then i would have gone round to his house and took the price of a new gearbox out of there lasses *******.

 

I'd expect to be taken out in the car prior to paying but not drive it would any of us rev the proverbial out of AN Others car
