Ok, I have been caught out on a too goo to be true deal in the past (i'm not going in to that now), so I am always extra cautious. A girl phoned me from London (we are in south devon) and wanted to get propped for finance on a £10,200 BMW convertible. She was on full time benefits so got declined. She phoned the next day saying she had the money and she can transfer it over. She has done a bank transfer for a £500 deposit , no problems there. She has also agreed to pay for delivery as she doesn't want to make the journey. There has not once been a query into service history, condition, mot status or anything like that at all. She is just happy to transfer the money and have the car delivered! I have told her that we do not accept card payments over the phone so must transfer the balance with a bank transfer. I have also asked for a copy of her driving licence and also a copy of her mums driving licence as she wants the car to get put in her mum's name. The problem is...... well there is no problem in my opinion but I keep thinking that it is too good to be true, so it probably is. I am curious if any of you guys can see a fatal flaw in this? Thanks, James

Won't keep you long this time. Just thought of a name to give a certain breed of 'customer'; you know, the ones who come in for an oil change and then, the following day, want you to be responsible for the washer pump packing up. The ones who have just had an MOT and want to know why their CD player now doesn't work properly. The ones who bought a new rear wiper blade and now have a puncture, which obviously happened while it was in your care. Sinshas As in: "Sinsha replaced the rear exhaust box, the horn doesn't work. What did you do to it?" Or: "Sinsha fitted new rear brakes, the gearbox is whining in third. It wasn't doing it before you touched it" How depressing is it that there is a seemingly unlimited supply of unreasonable people that do not wish to take any responsibility for their own actions or misfortune? Or is it just us that gets them?
