2MB Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 It's been too long since my last collection mission, and the familiar feeling has returned. First part of the journey was a taxi ride. No pictures but it was some some sort of Hyundai driven by my future MIL. On the first train now. This isn't it. But this is.

2MB Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Might be worth mentioning the vehicle in question. It has 4 doors, was made in Japan and has a 3.2 litre engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I can see the logic in a Trooper which shared the 3.2 V6 with the Frontera (?). Cannot easily think of any Japanese cars with a 3.2. The Legend was 3.5 now I think of it. Camry 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed security and they took the payment, but it may not arrive in his account until the end of the next working day... Tuesday!

Jazoli Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Having fallen foul of this when buying cars even after doing a test payment of 1p into the sellers account a couple of days beforehand I always pay cash now, I had to go back and collect my Octavia even though the money had left my account, fortunately for me it was only 8 miles away, 250 miles is a 'mare.

dollywobbler Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 When we bought our H van, one of the most expensive vehicles I've ever bought (£5000), we left a deposit and a cheque for the outstanding amount that, for complicated reasons, wasn't even in our name! Amazingly, they accepted this and let us drive off in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope every night since then and before I sleep that they are showered with rancid skunk shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dome Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Arses on the transfer. Part of the S4 purchase was done by transfer. I was prepared to come back and get it as it was only half an hour from home, the cash was in his (RBS) account from my (Bank of Scotland) one before Esure answered the phone to change the insurance over...

2MB Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Home now, no thanks to the bank. Ended up sending the seller a bond of £100 by PayPal as a kind of shared risk, as in I've paid the asking plus a grand but he's letting his van go without being paid, and will refund the money when the payment clears. Same bank, same account didn't hesitate when I sent a much larger amount on similar circumstances, and I set up the payee beforehand to ensure it went smoothly, but no such luck. Such is life. The van is a beauty. Not to everyone's taste but I love it. Jerzy Woking, KiwiAlistair, Aston Martin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timewaster Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 We had a mortgage with Satan Dan Dare arranged through a broker. When we got married we went into the local branch to change the Mrs name. It was full of people complaining. They wouldn't accept the form we had. That they gave us. When we returned with even more evidence, it was full of people complaining. That form still wasn't good enough. As soon as the deal period ended we got a new deal elsewhere and will never darken their door again. They have swallowed up so many other BSs they seem to run all the different policies concurrently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
