Following on from my Luxury Bangernomics thread a while back .
We are currently trying to source a sub £600 small sized car and so far we have seen 3 and the thing that worries us is that apart from 1 of them . Is that when contact is made with the seller and we arrange to view we get given a post code and a house number which you think ok but .......
case no 1 given a post code of an old motor dealership that is now closed we get there no sign of car or seller after 5 mins we leave thinking dodgy
case no 2 given a post code in down town Far Cotton so off we go and the sat nav takes us to a bit of waste land by a set of busy traffic lights , sure enough car there complete with a very Irish sounding & looking female who i wouldn't argue with , car looks ok , drives okish but just didn't feel right . Wouldn,t give us her address details etc etc as we didn't need to know !!!
Now i can remember the good old days where you either went to a house or a garage not some vacant bit of land !!!
i know all about hpi checks and what to be careful about so no worries after all i buy and sell a couple of bikes .
got another one lined up lunch time awaiting address details as i type
