ik1980 11 Posted October 7, 2017 I have bought from them before, most of the stuff is high mileage, ropey stuff. Some stuff is alright. They let you check it over after you win the auction and take a test drive too. No obligation to buy either. They do sell a lot though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHM 994 Posted October 7, 2017 You can't advertise as offering a test drive & then stating it's spares/repairs/scrap etc. I thought I occasionally employed the odd sharp practice but I obviously have much to learn. I suppose it's "Fuck Trading Standards", let's get on with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I put a Triumph Stag on ebay last week, spares or repair, it's fecked. A brutally honest description which included the lines non runner, no keys and no docs as well as please don't contact be email as by not answering I may offend. You've guessed it, I received emails along the line of 'I know your not answering emails, but....', and the winning bidder is now wondering how he is going to move it without any keys and can i get some cut. Hmmmmmm, let me think about that.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought it inappropriate to take photos of stock while the cars are still on the auction site with the screen 'top', but there you go I used to think he took pictures before stuff went through the sale (Like a few days before), fired it up on ebay for a few days and then completed on those cars that showed the most promise online (by way of good bidding). To have 100 cars at a time which he sometimes has up would mean someone has some serious bank rolling or they have worked out a system that allows for them to 'pre-sell' and only buy what they know is pretty much sold already. Or I'm wide of the mark and just dreaming such a system was possible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think everything is sold on a scrap invoice now. Old name was Sterling Cars, Reading. Is why the trades got a bad name, withdrawing consumer rights, but ! scroll to bottom of advert [ not that many customers do that ] and we see = Returns will be accepted as per the requirements of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An Asian gentleman on the phone offered me a p/x, every time I asked a question on the car he asked someone in the background, and then trotted out the answer - he didn't even know whether it was petrol or diesel. Anyhow £900 will buy his 2004 Peugeot 306, 140K miles, in London (surprise, surprise) - PM me if you want this nutters phone no. I had some greedy white trash out to see it today - in a 2000 Golf Tdi "the best car I've ever owned son" It seems he was expecting a brand new Toyota, but then apparently you can buy "mint" 2007 low mileage Golf diesels for £1450 on a Sunday night on eBay after I'd said they were £2500-3000 cars. Me: Why didn't you buy it. HIM: Cos I missed out on it. Me: So you hadn't seen it? Him: No. Me: How do you know it was mint then? Him: Cos it said on the advert. Me: You now been priced conditioned & you now expect a minter for £1500. You're obviously a Golf man so we'll leave it at that. Good luck in your search. What a fucking day - I should of stayed in bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
