A bit of Advice needed: Dealing with crappy Seller (Shotguns involved)

[theshadow]

i love sitting outside banks with the engine running, 8) 8) with my long coat on....

If Sheefag’s telling you to give it up, give it up. 14 years of handing out chewing gum and aftershave in nightclub bogs hardens a man’s resolve, and if he’s not up for it, nor should you be.

 

Your just bitter 'cos you're short with very loose bowels.

 

Rod/b/db/db/db/d was ejected from MacDroitwich for bumming.

as opposed to walking in on a hot day with a long coat on , and coming out with it over your arm having just topped up  a swiss bank account ....

 

not that any one has ever done this !!

I thought that was compulsory?

[Sheefag]

Meant to ask, how's the herpes now?

[Lacquer Peel]

I thought everyone was ejected from MacD because it FAILED TO PROCEED.

All well thanks, can’t believe thats all you left me with.

Trolling level: 19. Being a dick? Doesn't seem like it.

I have no idea what's going on with the MacD/bumming part of this conversation but I'd definitely be giving it up as a bad job on the keys. I doubt their criminal empire extends to the entirely traceable crime of selling a car on and then stealing it back, I guess you could put a disklok on it instead but there's only so much I'd antagonise a family that gets repeatedly found with a lockup full of firearms.

Myself, Rodb/db/db/db/d and Lacquer Peel are all part of the MacDroitwich family, it's a Hotel California kind of thing.

Schaefft, in short, you need to work out the ratio between stakes and reward. In this particular instance, it all looks a bit skewed the wrong way.

 

Sit yourself down in that comfortable winged chair, pour a decent glass of something, slip Kenny Rogers on the stereo, take it on the chin and move

on.

 

Tomorrow's another day.

Thanks guys, like I mentioned on the first page, I think I'll have to let that one go. I'm not too worried about an elderly man and a dumbass trying to pull something when I show up at their door again, but I think it's clear that they probably know somebody who would a few months down the line show up at my place one night and cause a lot more damage than the keys are worth. At least the car now comes with a story, links to the criminal underworld seem to slowly become a theme now. A no, I don't think the car is stolen, I have the V5 and their story sounded believable haha. Unless the fact that it was owned by an actual judge previously isn't just a strange coincidence after all...

This sort of shit is why I only buy old bangers from here. There are some absolute scumbags at the arse end of the market

I repeated this advice to someone today, if the seller is dodge then chances are the car is. Scummy folk and iffy cars go hand in hand.

 

By sounds of it if you go in there ten tenths then you might not be leaving under your own steam.

[Hertz]

Did you actually see the 3 sets of keys? Maybe only one key only ever existed and it was a bit of sales patter to try and make you think it was a well looked after car.

[FakeConcern]

For some reason most cars I buy turn out to only have one key. My last C4 VTS had two, but one of them was a blank key and I didn't notice until I got home 200 miles later haha!

 

It's only a problem if the key you do have stops working

[hpi_matrix]

If your worried about them having keys surely that could happen to any car thats bought and sold?

 

Seller makes a copy, doesnt tell the buyer, seller gets buyers address from V5?

 

For a £500 car I wouldnt worry about it, as long as the car is half decent the battle is won? Are the keys really hard/expensive to replace or am I missing something else?
