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 phne 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 plud 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.

  • If I can't fix it at home, it ain't getting fixed.
Bad luck mate.  :sad:

Had similar once, looooong time ago when I ended up buying an ex taxi with a knackered odometer without realising!  One owner, full service history, been round the world and back but clocks but it didn't show it and I didn't know.....  Had loads of issues with it and it wasn't until I gave it a hardcore valet I realised it's history, found loads of business cards for a taxi rank behind the dash and the remains of the adapters for the meter when I tried to see what was up with the clocks!
