Cookiesouwest Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 On way back from Minehead, Mrs CSW casually suggested popping into to Kitchen / Bathroom shop. Now the proud owner of a Settle - yep I didn't know what that was either, dining table and two chairs. Have to pick up in July. Mrs CSW reckons its a bargain* cause she saved me so much money on buying a modern. That wasn't on my list ! Clock still ticking down.

Cookiesouwest Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Welcome to Watchet The great unveil Mrs CSW has bought a A 2004 Honda CRV 2.0 ivtec Executive with 71k on clock and full service history. BUT Checked it over. Not quite as described. Top of range CD / Satnav but needs code. Surprise. No code in paperwork. Not mentioned in add. Rear boot close sensor inoperative. Not mentioned in add. Still was going to buy it. Started it up. Bit of an exhaust blow. Not mentioned in add. Still was going to buy it. Took for test drive, which cost me a tenner in unleaded as it was below the empty mkr. Got back and looked underneath to check for rust. No rust. No bloody Cat either, just a wonky bit of pipe badly welded in its place. So. Told him, I wont leave bad feedback, if he doesn't. Walked away Apologies for the lengthy collection thread, that has resulted in no collection. crad, Floatylight, Coprolalia and 14 others 2 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyberg Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Jesus some people are wankers😠 sorry mate. There is a CRV thread on here, it seems it is spot on. I reckon, don't buy a Honda. What you need is a nice SAAB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil1971 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Sorry you had a wasted trip. Only buyers can leave negative feedback on eBay, sellers can only leave positive. Wouldn't be unreasonable for him to get a negative in the circumstances as presumably being a trader he was well aware of the faults and would serve to warn any future buyers. bigstraight6, Justwatching and Cookiesouwest 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I'd neg him anyway. A scamming twat who knew it had no cat and was hoping you wouldn't notice till it was too late. Arsehole bigstraight6, Justwatching, sdkrc and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mally Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Pity about the non collection, but now she knows how to do it she can try again. With regard to the non starting starter on Audrey, you probably need a solenoid kit. 2 Big copper washers, quite cheap. Easy to fit once you get the starter off. Never* fail again when it's done.

Arsehole I agree, that exhaust bodge in place of the missing cat is shocking but some unfortunate clueless type might not Notice and end up buying the thing.

Soundwave Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Agreed with the above... neg him and report him. I know generally reporting to eBay is like pissing into a wind tunnel, but I'd do it anyway. He can't neg you back, so if he kicks off laugh at him and tell him to go and play in traffic. outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbo Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 It’s a joke that you can’t leave negative feedback for buyers. I recently sold a car on EBay and my buyer never showed up for collection and is now ignoring my messages but I am unable to leave him negative feedback, EBay is shite!!!

Split_Pin Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Well done for checking it over properly. Seller is a dick. Hit him with a big fat throbbing purple NEG. He can't leave you one because of Ebay rules. He deserves it after all the bother you and your Mrs went to go and get it. mercedade, Matty and Justwatching 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
