Title: Seem to cheap?
Post by: stu646 on 27 May 2011, 11:51: Seen this car in the classified section here and it went from £1500 to £1100 in a matter of days

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=193227.0

On the outside the car looks great, but going off other adverts in the MK4 section, it does seem very very cheap.

What is also making me very cauitous too of making a offer, is when you go to his photobucket account, which is public..you see lots of different cars on the same drive too :undecided:

look at the comments left by the other guy on that forum, hes been f*ucked over by him by the looks of things!
Title: Re: Seem to cheap?
Post by: stu646 on 27 May 2011, 18:55: This comment seems to make him out to be a bit dodgy

I would advise anyone buying a car off this guy to be VERY carefull, Doesn't send off log books and still 4 months later hasnt given me the money he owes me, Is also still wanted by alot of guys on the celica forum

Also in all of his post I have found , not once does he mention about being a car dealer.

you will learn if you deal in any kind of sales / retail, particularly on the internet, that there are an equal number of dodgy buyers as dodgy sellers.
