Tried to enquire about having a pre purchase inspection done on this car and the seller got real nasty.

That's a pretty strong accusation to make in an open forum mate, fair play if you've got definite proof......

Remember a couple of months back a novice linked a car he liked & me & a couple of others questioned it, & quite rightly so as the eBay ad showed pictures of a missing chassis number & a welded up space where another one could have been!

All we've got here is someone posting a link to an ad claiming its a cut & shut.

For all we know the OP could've fallen out with the cars owner.

If there's evidence of it being a wrong'un then post it up. Forums are fantastic for helping potential buyers out but the OP is so far, doing nothing but slander.

I'll come clean. I got told about this car by a mate off here who made the 'suggestion' that it may be two for the price of one but I tried to go into it with a clear head and asked for a pre purchase inspection subject to payment and got told to go away.
If u have nothing to hide why would you do that??? Go figure
Of that I have proof

it's a lot of cash to spend if you could not get an inspection unless you knew what you were doing for sure....

I am sure he will have any number of people from here asking him now if he minds a paid for inspection.... smile

Again, you have absolutely no proof of what you're suggesting.

There's a weird old bloke down the bottom of our road, someone at the pub reckons he's a kiddy fiddler so I'm going to put his windows through-well I've got proof that someone thinks he's a perve haven't I?!
wink

In all seriousness mate, I get where you're coming from & it's great that we can all help eachother out on here but without proof of what you're saying you're simply muddying the waters.

& I think without the proof, or without letting the cars owner speak up for himself it's incredibly unfair.

confused how is that saying exactly what I put in my post?

I'd ask for the mods to close this thread down as its going nowhere but I've emailed the seller & hopefully he'll take the time to post up his side of the story.

I said what I'd been told by a 3 rd party that I'm not gonna mention on here although obviously he's welcome to join in but my reasons for asking for the inspection was for those reasons as it should be for everyone. You saying the reply that I got was fair abs from a nothing to hide person? I had you down as smarter than that m8

So you told him you wanted an inspection as you'd been told by another party that his car was a cut and shut?

I'm not surprised he told you where to get off, doesnt make you sound like a genuine buyer does it

Why would you waste 400 quid inspecting a car you'd been told was a cut & shut?
