GLWS on the escort, nice to see one that's not been tarted up as a '3i!

 

EDIT: SHOULD READ WHOLE THREAD FIRST, beaten on the boobs!

[greengartside]

CAN I HAZ SALE ON DA ESCORT?

 

O RLY?

 

Y RLY

 

WKD

 

.....she's been sold. Got a grand for it which includes me slapping 6 months tax on her. It's being picked up tomorrow. Very pleased with the outcome but still sad to see it go - I shall be at work so won't be as gut-wrenching as watching it being driven away

 

Thanks for all your kind comments about the car, it seems like it's off to an enthusiast which is what I wanted!

[trigger]

£1000 sounds like a very fair price for it and at least it's going to a enthusiast so you might get to still see it about at shows.

[greengartside]

Not bad considering I paid £500 for it three years ago!

[Alexg]

Well done mate

[greengartside]

Cheers dude. It's off to sunny Stratford Upon-Avon so if you see it about give it a toot and a wave! Or just quote Shakespeare at it....

 

"Is this a dagger I see before me?".....YER GR903 4 SLASHIN UR TYRES RYT UP U SKANKY FUKR.

[greengartside]

Well, what a surprise....

 

Guy who I sold it to has rang up and complained about the car.

 

He said that the hole in the roof was big enough to put a fist through (O RLY?) and there were 'bumps' on the front...excuse me, where was this in the pictures?

 

He never come and seen it, never asked for any more pictures of the 'damage' and i have found out he is a dealer too! Great

 

Dad wrote him an invoice with SOLD AS SEEN clearly written on it. He's ringing back at 8pm to have a go at me. What do I say to him? Please help, I'm worrying now.

[trigger]

You say to him, Sorry but the car is sold as seen, He's properly just found out that he won't make as much of a profit as he thought on it.

 

The same thing happened to a lad i work with, funny enough that was also with a trader, He threatened him saying that we was coming round and everything but nothing ever materialized.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Politley tell him, to fuck off and die. a hole in a roof is hardly a 'hidden fault' is it, did he not bring his eyes with him when he checked the car? Oh I see he didnt bother checking it. Fuggin chancers man.

[greengartside]

I just had it out with him. Now he's threatened to come down and punch my lights out....and that I should sleep with one eye open.

 

...so I rang the police and reported him for threatening behaviour. Cnut.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Good on you, what a chancer bastard.

[greengartside]

do you think he would? i mean he didn't come and have a look at the car did he! lol.

[trigger]

I'm actually really disgusted reading that, What a horrible, nasty thing to say to someone, I hope he catches gangrene in his cock and it drops off. The arsehole.

[Guest]

If you've not sent the V5 off yet, remember to add his unusual middle name.

[greengartside]

Well he has the V5 but I don't think he would be coming down all that way to hit me. If he steps one foot onto my property it's a trespass situation. I'm still shook up but proud of myself for standing up to him.

[Mr Lobster]

Stuff like this really pisses me off. Worlds full of twats isn't it

[Guest]

Let me get this right.

 

He bought a car, SIGHT UNSEEN, and then complains it doesn't meet his expectations.

 

Are these people on crack or what? You could clearly see in the eBay photos that the roof was taped up, probably because it had holes in it.

 

What a delightful trader he is. He's all mouth mate, don't worry about it. Hopefully he'll be crossing the road one day and forget to look around for anything blatantly obbvious.

 

What a prize mong. This happens too often with eBay. Was it wuvvum who sold that old Austin and had something similar go on? The bloke bought it on the strength of a few pictures and then tried to fleece him for a respray and a full engine rebuild or some such schilling buggery.

[greengartside]

Yeah that's right. He pointed out some sort of crease on the passenger front wing? And that there was a crack on the rear towing eye bit. Trivial stuff to be perfectly honest. It's a 26-year old car which has never been resprayed or filled with wag anywhere - I think it's done bloody well to last this long.

 

He could have had photos of the holes in the roof should he have asked for them. I even said to him do you want me to take the tape off and he said no. So what more can I do?

[garethj]

Don't worry, mate. if he couldn't be arsed to look at the car before buying it, he won't be arsed to come over again. Especially not a dealer.

He is a brain donor. It's very easy to get wound up by a knuckle dragger like him, but he's just a mouthy little shit who's seen his arse. From what I can gather you're pretty mild mannered, otherwise he wouldn't have rung you up to have a go, such are these people's egos. They're hollow hard men, and they have to think they're intimidating someone to justify their little fantasy.

I am definitely more mouth than action, and I've had my bluff called on more than one occasion. It's got me into some serious trouble at times.

The only time I stood my ground and it worked was after some snivelling little smackhead temp didn't like the way I parked at work, and he decided to get in my face as I got out of the car. I got out and stood there, staring right back at him, practically nose to nose.

 

I thought I was going to have a fucking heart attack, but I got some nerve on after he said 'I don't hit kids with glasses'. I leaned into him, stuck my bins down the collar of my shirt and said, 'There dickhead, does that make it easier for you?'

 

And he froze. He did nothing.

 

Eventually his nerve snapped after he'd stood in my face calling me every name under the sun, and he sloped off muttering all kinds of obscenties about he knew where I lived and that I was going to fucking die etc etc. As he was walking away. I had the adrenalin pumping by then and stood rooted to the spot shouting: 'I'm still here hard man, a fat lad's stood here taking the piss out of you here, where you going?'

 

As Billy said, a true psycho (save for all the bluster) would have said nothing and turned up at your house, put your windows through and then started on you. The silent ones are the people you need to worry about, not gobby clefts like him.

 

TBH had I spoke to him on the phone I would have answered every question \ insult he threw at me with:

 

'Why didn't you come and look at it?'

 

'Why didn't you come and look at it?'

 

'Why didn't you come and look at it?'

 

'No, really smart arse, why didn't you come and look at it'?

 

I've sounded out dicks in petrol stations \ nobhead customers on the phone at work with similar strategies. It's the fundamental question they can't answer, and it carries on to the point of absurdity until one of you puts the phone down \ is forced to act.

 

Your buyer sounds more like Captain Smackhead then mashed up psycho. Still a nasty experience for you I agree, especially if it catches you off guard. Think about it this way - twat boy has paid to sort your debt out.

I like to obviate unpleasant situations like this where money's involved. Whenever work upsets me, I go for a long satisfying shit and amuse myself in the knowledge that I'm getting paid to defecate.

Imagine scrote boy trying to cross the road based on the strength of some photographs he's seen in a magazine. He then turns up and rages at the traffic, slips on a dog turd, and is dispatched by a conveniently placed Polish 38 tonner.

[greengartside]

Thanks Wat, that's cheered me up immensely, and thanks to everyone else for bloody agreeing with me!

 

I am a pretty mild-mannered guy and yeah I do sometimes let things go when I really shouldn't but he just got on my nerves. If he was that bothered about the car then HE SHOULD HAVE FUCKING COME AND LOOKED AT IT. Even the guy at the cop centre said that. He has no leg to stand on legally.

 

I will have a go when I'm provoked. I am one of those 'silent ones' you referred to but to look at me you would think I'd punch a fly to death because it looked at me funny.

[Cavcraft]

Hey, it's be fucking ACE if he gets all 'take you to court' over it instead.

 

'So Mr Car Dealer, you bought a twenty odd year old car sight unseen and didn't like the stone chips?'

[greengartside]

Well well well....

 

He's rung up and apologised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He was very sorry for mouthing off at me and will leave me a good feedback. He said he shouldn't have got out of order with me.

 

+1 for me!

[Cavcraft]

Call him back and tell him you're going to kick his head in for apologising.

[greengartside]

 

Don't tempt me.....

[trigger]

@ Billy! At least he's apologised though, I glad to hear that.

[Pillock]

'I'm still here hard man, a fat lad's stood here taking the piss out of you here, where you going?'

 

Honest-to-god, no-lies, LOL.

I always like a good Watt story, they remind me of my own life, except I would say that with him a "situation" is more likely to happen, but with me a "situation" is more likely to result in an atrocity. I often wonder who will end up dead/jailed first based on this.

The deadpool bet is still on.
