Picked up a very very cheap C1 though so it was worth the effort. Sold it within a week. You drove a C1 for 6.5 hours?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattR 177 Posted April 20, 2018 Alicante to Nottingham in 27 hours, in a 3 year old golf 1.4 from a former employee who had moved out there then decided she wanted to sell the car back, cheap winter break though! Non stop, thought we might get a doze on the calais to dover night ferry but all the gypsies were eyeing up the trade plates..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will have set up many Ltd companies between them to hide behind which are then dissolved after 18 months.When you don’t pay VAT,PAYE,business rates or do PDI’s ,repairs etc and get away with it,is it any wonder they will just set up somewhere else.They probably see it as good business,they could be up to all sorts.....HMRC don’t bother with them because there is no money....Meanwhile the Windrush generation who have worked and paid taxes Da Da Da. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Facebook is full of 'private sellers' selling cars who somehow are selling a lot more than one. The majority of sellers who are flogging write offs without declaring them as such all seem to have middle eastern names. I even check to see if they are write offs and send them a quick message asking if they have been involved in any accidents. Funnily enough no reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The funniest thing is when you click on their profile and find that like 99% of Facebook junk motors they either work as a scrap man, MOT tester somewhere or live for banger racing....usually the latter.
