Dowie at the game for SSN, I'm always surprised by how gorgeous that guy is.

Noooo, but it does sound good. Because machines are cool, right? Especially red and white ones. Like red and white tractors...or something.

Come on you red and white MACHIIIIIINE!

You can twist my words to believe whatever you want mate, doesn't bother me. The quotes you've highlighted are all different parts of the overall story, if you can't see the big picture, then whatever...? Pfft.

Of course I do.

Great Post Dune Mate!!!

I had a look over the car and could see nothing obviously wrong with it, a bit of rust but that was to be expected of a MK III Golf. The question of the gearbox being sound never came up funnily enough. It blew up and I had to pay for it, I accepted that pretty quickly to be honest. I know a lad who bought a 306 Gti, drove it for less than a day and the big end went, nothing he or the seller could possibly know about it, it just went (not that I know the specifics), did my mate get his money back? Did he heck, the seller said no. See a pattern emerging here? Once the buyer drives it away, who knows what they have done to it, if they come back and find a load of faults I didn't know about, how do I know that its legit / they aren't just taking me for a ride?

The MOT expired just before the end of the auction end date. This SORN thing is a bit silly really. Hypo is just jumping on top of something so he go on a bit more...

It turned out not to be, no. If I have broken this particular law then by god, surely, I am not the only one. One bald tyre, one leaky gasket, and BOOM, we all need to be SORN.

You are living in a dream land if you think I am "stuffed" Hypo. If you had a bit of steering wheel wobble would you rush home, jump online and declare the car SORN? Errr no, you wouldn't. Wake up mate, the world doesn't work like that.

I'm ganna stop replying to this thread now because you lot clearly don't know what you are talking about. I feel bad for the guy, it was unfortunate. However my concious is clean so what you internet warriors may think means nothing to me.

LOADS of assumptions about me you are making their Hypo. Amazing. I don't go around making accusations of people I don't know personally so I'd appreciate it if you did the same.

A lesson learned, thanks.

Thanks for the intelligent input, mate.

I agree this thread is pure gold. All this flapping over a car - bought knowingly to be faulty - for 500 quid. You lot need to get out more The change of full time address occurred since the sale - I am up in H'field with this V5C for a car that isn't mine.

It has my current student address on the note I sent with the V5C, if he wants to drive 300 miles then more fool him!

This debate is entirely down to personal opinion and if you think I committed "fraud" then thats fine. Wrong, but fine. As I said the matter is now over.

Oh thats it I'm boned. I wont be able to sleep at night now! For the record, I don't feel like I've done anything wrong, the guy took the risk of buying a car without an MOT for 500 quid - how you can feel sorry for him is beyond me - and how I can be lambasted for not knowing every little detail about faults with the car is out of order - YES - I should have used better language in the Ebay article but at the end of the day, he bought an old car and would have known the risks.

My old address, Dune. The parents have since moved.

I don't think I have to worry chap as the guy wont be going through any legal course to get his 500 quid back, will he. He could barely put a sentence together when I met him. Like I said, the V5C is gone, I'm not going to worry about this for another moment. You lot can as much as you like.

Where are the lies? Spares / easy fix? What is wrong with that? Honestly, you can believe what you like, you don't know me persanlly and I've never been called a liar or a pikey in my life. The guy doesn't know where I live (check the location), I wasn't in the wrong and that is the end of it. WOOPIE FOOKIN DOO

lol you lot make me laugh. I'm off to go and rip off a load more crims and role around in big s*it like the dirty pikey that I am.

The vehicle was sold as spares / fixable and stated not to have an MOT. Millions of cars are sold as spares and repairs, they must be breaking the law too. It was up to the buyer to judge what was written on the ebay article.

haha I think he would have done so by now if he was planning on doing so. Also, when he threatened me on the phone I told him he'll go straight back to prison and I never heard from him again. The V5C is in the post. This thread is over.

The amount of abuse I'm getting over this is totally unbelievable. I took legal advice from a friend, I consulted with a load of REAL people (not internet warriors), and they all told me that once he drove it away, it was his problem, he takes it on the chin. He bought car without an MOT, he took the risk. What I unknowingly sold him is unfortunate, but NOT MY PROBLEM. I bought a Golf GTi a few years back for 2 grand, drove it 20 miles and the gear box casing cracked and ruined the clutch as well as the gearbox itself. I went back and asked for a refund, he told me to **** off, because he had no idea there was a problem with it. How is this any different?
