Stew I completley understand and got respect for people on the forums and listen to all, thats why I registered as I know 'most' users know their stuff, thus one of the reasons I asked about this vehicle, got a response (negative one) and u lot turned out to be correct...thats why I didn't take a deposit with me
I'm sorry mate but anyone who takes photo's of a dirty car (in the rain) and is more interested in getting in others cars (that his parents own) into the shots should be avoided like the plague.
When I sell my cars, i clean the car to within an inch of its life, find a nice location, takes dozens of pics and write a comprehensive ad leaving no stone unturned including service history details etc. Meaning that people turn up knowing exactly what the car is like and, usually, buy it.
