I found a nice 2003 Golf 150 GT TDI last week and we're off to collect it now, pics to follow.

One "posh" lady owner with full VW hist - should be good  :wink:

But when I got there.....

Your all only right, the weather was crap just like the car from A B AUTOS LTD  Tel: 07963 808882 /  Tel: (01302) 881744 Address 5 Greens Road (a house on a residential street) DN7 4DE.

Here's a link to the advert: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201123390037861/sort/priceasc/usedcars/fuel-type/diesel/maximum-mileage/up_to_100000_miles/model/golf/make/volkswagen/radius/1500/keywords/150%20one%20owner/postcode/wa141tf/page/1?logcode=p


Spoke to the guy on Monday and asked if there was any bad paint, scuffs, undue noises etc - the seller said the car was mint with FUll VW Service hist so I gave him a 100 quid dipper over the phone subject to the car being as described..... (9/10 in his words)

Go there, the rear bumper had a big scuff on it, the passenger door / wing had had a not so smart repair, another scuff on the pass side of the bumper plus it had had a front end at some point and the engine had a very strange rattle coming from it - could have been the A/C compressor on its way out.

The service history was anything but VW and it even had some very NON JTC600 stamps in there.

When I told him that it wasn't anything like as described he told me I was a timewaster and ran off onto his house.....

HSBC are taking my deposit money back as I type  :grin:

Tops and bottoms AVOID AB AUTOS of Doncaster.


Here's more lies - he put this on the advert - "back on due to uncleared funds and lost deposit" which is incorrect - see below:

I didn't loose my deposit he refused to give it back - I'm in the process of getting my deposit back via HSBC  :wink:

Unlceared funds - I think not  :laugh:
