  1. I assume the resetting of the fault codes constitutes a repair or why road test it?
  2. I have noticed that quite a few with contracts don't have the review option, can anyone explain?
  3. you get emailed, i dont mind negs its just I never sold him the car FFS
  4. indeed, they are paid to help not hinder
  5. gumtree makes ebay feel like rolls royce, waste of time for me
  6. you can't do it on autotrader, the reply from them was we don't remove reviews or get invloved, really really helpful
  7. Hi all, just received my first negative and have no record of ever dealing with this loon? Bought a car from this fella about four months ago and died after a week , refused to give any kind of refund and his response was " what do you expect its an old car" Avoid avoid avoid You replied on 22/02/17 at 08:17 Edit reply Status:Published Hi, myself and my colleague have been through our receipts and we have no record of you, the fact autotrader has you down as not having a verified purchase from us concludes that Has anyone appealed a review yet?
  8. sorry if i came across as rude, it wasn't my intention, it's just so easy to lose your shirt
  9. with all due respect if you need to ask on an open forum I wouldn't be doing it, it is so easy to lose money in this game
  10. as well as sometimes needing a referral, the vendors just need to be bent
  11. I ask for a mobile and then put a stupidly cheap car on gumtree, the sort that attracts this type, 2005 passat highline diesel with 70k on, 599 quick sale, please call anytime, keep trying if no one answer as often driving
  12. out of interest what would be my legal position? Car had done 2500 miles in 2 months when she phoned, as i say I got the car back and got it fixed, we'd asked to keep it a bit longer for a decent road test but she wasn't having it
  13. the issue up my way is stocking loans, 6 or 7 blokes all forced to buy from the same auction, some have 350 across 4k cars, jobs ruined
  14. she says no lights on the dash although i suspect she may have turned the dimmer down
  15. I have refunded 700 quid, chipped her 300 will get it back and try again could it be the speed sensor?
  16. says the car is cutting out I have said 25p a mile, with hindsight I shouldn't have tried to fix it and just back heeled it to the auction
  17. Car was sold 7 weeks ago and she has done 2500 miles, it was a 2003 Focus automatic if that helps, anyway she emailed with gearbox issues so the car got dropped off and i got a second hand box fitted, anyway she's not happy and says its causing issues when reverse is selected and wants a refund, is there a deduction I can make for 2 months use? Andrew
  18. 2 big claims, new engine as well as an automatic box
  19. its up at 7k http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201701261681719?sort=price-desc&postcode=dh21lh&advertising-location=at_cars&make=TOYOTA&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&radius=1500&model=MR2&page=1 looks 1500 too much
  20. i'm in dispute at the moment, watch this space as I buy 2 a week from them
  21. I appreciate I'm a peasant but I buy 4 a week from DA, it's the way I was spoken to by the DA manager who implied I was being picky, whilst the cars aren't mechanically checked a knock from the engine should be pointed out, would I have bid if it had? No way, the car's back on today with no mention again, obviously hoping a transporter collects it I can recall a car i picked up from the above mentioned place, it had a recon bill from their service dept for £2500 as cams were shagged, I managed to get my money back and the car appeared back on there with no mention of the bill which I assume vanished from the book pack, did I ring and moan to DA, no as no point sorry yes the sales manager banned me, I don't mind taking the odd one for the team but it has to be both ways
  22. what really gets my goat is that DA think its us being the clowns
  23. just been barred by a local main dealer as I wouldn't take a car with a bottom end knock, David Gott we both know the garage
