All a piss take Trig, I understand 'rate for risk' on finance but that 206 trades at £800-£1000, and will probably retail £2000ish. These are vile c@*ts preying on the gullible, stupid and naive. I've been selling cars for nearly 9 years, and I've met a few interesting characters along the way, but I can't imagine the kind of pond life these guys have working for them. How do they sleep at night?

It's the Brighthouse of the car sales world, intended to appeal to the easily led and desperate.

They're a bunch of manipulative bastards do doubt...

You could pretty much go on ebay/autotrader and buy the same car for 6 months worth of payments of any of those motors and then pay nothing for the next 2.5 years. That said I reckon 6 months is about the period that the finance company actually expects the buyer to keep up repayments before getting the car taken off them for the inevitable no insurance situation (You can pretty much guarantee someone dumb enough to take out a finance deal like this will have no NCB and at least 6 points for something or other).

 

The general public really don't understand finance very well at all - When I worked at 'frauds about once a week we'd get the usual customer turn up with a sat nav with a smashed screen/kids mountain bike with stoved off rear derailleur and when we told them we weren't going to fix it for free since they had obviously done the damage themselves, they would threaten to cancel the direct debit for the finance payment :lol:

 

Yeah, do that if you want but all you'll do is knock your credit rating for missing payments and eventually end up being taken to court by the finance company whether you've dumped your scumbag kids bike on the floor of the shop of not, infact I'd rather you take the bike with you since I've no space to store it for the few months until we decide you're really not going to come back for it.

Reminds me of that lad who got an old Clio on finance - total cost was about £5000. Was on RR as I recall.

Ah cheers. I'll give that a re-read this evening.

 

It's the bit when he says 'yeah, but the saleswoman was fit!' when reality sets in. Facepalm etc.

Oh God aye, that Carcraft lad and his thread was legendary.

Oh God it was £7200. The cost of all the cars I've ever owned added up would come to nowhere near that.

Shitting Nora. 7200 for a base spec, 4 year old Clio.

£7200

£7200

Seven-thousand-two-hundred pound sterling for a fucking base model, 4 year old Clio, and only 3.2K of that is the 60 months of finance with the rest being the fucking deposit.

 

How do these people live long enough to actually be able to drive a car. Surely with that level of stupidity you would die long before from trying to gargle chainsaws or something?

I wish we could get an update from clio boy, the stupid bastard will still be paying £170 a month for it providing he hasn't thrown himself off the humber bridge like anyone else in his position would have

Thats an internet legend thread, you just have to put in 'clio carcraft idiot' and it appears straight away.

I'm on OcUK and I remember when that lad started that thread. I had no idea it was internet ledge outside of OcUK :D

 

So he did post about it again about 6-months to a year ago in a new thread. I'm pretty sure he finally admitted that he'd been mugged off something chronic and should have listened to the sensible OcUK crowd, but I'm pretty sure he said the car gave him a lot of trouble and he got no recompense from Carcraft.

That letter reads like the transcript to a phonecall made by an angry mumsnet user to burger king after they got kicked out because her 11 year old child smeared shit all over the table. I really hope he sent it.

Unsurprisingly, that Escort has been for sale for ever. He doesn't seem to have got the hint. I wonder what he paid for it?!

Christ, even Lotus Cortinas struggle to bring in that much, even the ones with a bit of racing heritage. What makes him think he's going to get that much for a sortEc?

Not on eBay but not sure where these belong so lobbed this post here..

Yep, £899. For ONE bike light. It'd be cheaper to get knocked off and have a few weeks off on the Pat and Mick.

When I were a lad, I had a dynamo on my racer, and the system had a separate bulb that ran off a battery as well. It was bright as fuck, and not 900 bills.

I've got a couple of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cree-XML-T6-C ... 1c2b4e647b

 

It's a knock-off of a Magicshine, which is itself a knock-off of something from Hope or Lupine, I can't remember which. They give all the light you could want, I had to buy a diffuser for the one I use on the bike because it was too dazzling. I use the other one for mines and caves and it's like daylight.
