think I might take a witness to the meet, or record with mobile, plus syphon your petrol.
well, returned it yesterday, the usual "i can't see a fuel leak", probably because it's leaked out all the fuel over the past couple of weeks.
still, he gave me my money back and hopefully this cheque doesn't bounce so i can put this whole business to bed.
You accepted cheque? What are you going to do if it doesn't clear
Will you do the right thing now and buy an mx5 ?
the same thing as i'd have to do if he refused to give me anything- take him to small claims. it'll be a hassle but i'll go there if i have to.
except now i have written proof that he agreed to refund the money and a firm date as to when it was issued as i lodged it the same day.
hopefully he's got the message already that i'm not going to back down until i get my money and agrees with my feelings that getting this over and done with quickly is the best outcome.
maybe, kinda been put off the notion of a cheap sports runabout for a while. think i'll wait until i can afford to go a bit more upmarket and have nicer examples to choose from.
i don't think there's anything wrong with the mr2, it was just a particularly bad example.
I bought my MK1 mx5 in November for £2k. Japanese import in 2007. Only issue I've had with it was a split coolant hose.
I've covered around 4k miles in it since, hard driving, cold winter starts etc. You just got unlucky in my opinion. Newer cars won't be as "raw" so imo stick with older 90s rwd two seater.
well, tomorrow is going to be interesting.
managed to arrange transport to get the car towed back down for £50, which is extremely reasonable, rang him up to confirm and to quote his words "i'll tell you now i ain't paying for the transport"
sneaky *******, the sensible part of me is thinking i should just get the money and leave it, the not so sensible part of me is thinking money be damned take the ****** to court just to teach him a lesson.
Please take him to court and tell us all about it...
Yeah defo name and shame.
Or at least jot up a quick review to post to a handful of the review sites.
I would actually bet the MR2 was back on his forecourt before you arrived back home.
