i assume you have checked that your old key is the same as your new keys?

MikeHiow · 27 Oct 2010 at 20:48

LOL, not like Motors to take the moral highground.

There are many people here that have openly told of times they've sold cars to dealers that they wouldn't dream of selling to a private buyer.

Fortunately, it isn't going to the dealer that I actually dealt with, so my conscience is clear - at least with them. If they were happy to accept it with one key, why is it ****ing them over?

Which is what i just said, you need to get an incode from the Etis machine you cant just do it with Ids.
Maybe you should get your sister to do it if she knows so much

And it takes half hour to walk to a computer, click a few links, put a number in and get an instant response? LOL.

You implied you had some sort of a good relationship with this dealer though, one good enough for them to do you a deal better than any member of the public could get. They did you a favour - most dealers wouldnt do the public anything of the sort.

Mind you given your approach to doing work for other people in exchange for money - 'If i damage it, tough luck' - I cant say I'm surpised.

What about the fact you now posess the KEY to SOMEBODY ELSES CAR?

You are unbeleivable!

Mike are you for real, Please tell me your not

Epic LOLZ.

MikeHiow · 27 Oct 2010 at 20:55

So? They aren't buying my car. Another dealer that I've never even met, and that has done me no favours has bought it.

I don't posess the key to somebody else's car, though. The remote has already been reprogrammed to my car and the key blade has been discarded.

I don't see what is so "epic lolz" about it? If I sell a car and kept the mats for example, no one would care. It was my car, and my key and thus it is up to me what I decide to sell with the car.

They did you a terrific deal, you screwed them over. I'd like to express suprise but really, I can't.

The amazing thing is that virtually every thread by MH turns out like this, it must take a special sort of talent

Just... rofl.

MikeHiow · 27 Oct 2010 at 20:58

It ends like this because people some how think I'm some kind of an easy target, when in reality I've done absolutely nothing wrong.

Yeah, good argument you have there.

[TW]Fox · 27 Oct 2010 at 20:59

You kept the key to a car when you sold it!

Would you move out of a house and keep a set of keys to the door?!

Where did i say it took half an hour??
READ what i wrote, i said it takes longer than 5 minutes.
Surely if your so family friendly with your dealer they wont charge you the £80 an hour.

I wonder if he's like this on every forum he uses... is it just this one where every thread he posts turns into a multipage epic?

If I still had access to the car, I could see your point. But I do not. The fob is a reusable/transferrable item, and that is exactly what I've done.

oh and you'll find its a 30 minute job not 5 i speak from experience being an ex ford employee.

Was going to say the same thing, It used to be a 5 minute job on the old fords but now everything has to be done using IDS.
I bet your local auto lock smiths can code keys for half the price.

Like I stated earlier, they are on the wrong side of the water to help me out.

Think I'll sell my RS4 and keep the engine and 1 wheel.

Housey · 27 Oct 2010 at 21:03

...and an offside indicator bulb

....but I'll leave them some crisp packets and a lost chip
