Nice Coupé on PH

[s2 rich]

if this is the same guy its suprising he's not had any payback (read as dental work) yet if this is how he deals

such a shame there are people around like this who manage to get away with it

If he had done it to me he would have required a trip for dentist thats for sure. As you say why do people do this and think they can get away with it . I say if geerjammer goes to look at it we all go down there either get it for £3995 or his deposit bk lol.

If he agreed it for that price and sent the deposit then it sould be for that price.

[gearjammer]

Thanks for the support fellas. Flight's been booked since last night and I've taken Thurs off work, so may as well go and see what it's like anyway.

[s2 rich]

any news today geerjammer did you get it ? I know you are prob away from your computer but keep us updated fella.

[gearjammer]

Just in from work. Nothing new to report as yet. Too tired to think about it Have to get up in time to wake the cockrels so they can crow so off to bed.

Decided that this wasn't the car for me after all. The price kept going up because there was "so much interest in it". When I told him that I was no longer interested, the price dropped back to £4100 which he said was the best he could do (still £105 more than the original asking price). The seller said yesterday that he would refund my deposit via paypal but nothing’s come through yet. Not holding my breath. You live and learn.

Dont expect any protection from paypal either.....btdt I learnt a £100 lesson in the summer with another d*ckhead seller.

Bit late.There isn't an Audi in Melksham!
There is a place thats sells a lot of VAG cars and an independent both on the Bowerhill Ind Estate, but no dealership that I know of!

@ Gearjammer. DO NOT settle for a £200 scam. Talk to PH and if that doesn't work name and shame on the PH Forums, they love that sort of thing. If you don't get your deposit back, that's theft.

Good luck.

Cheers,

Steve.

yeah Steve I agree totally with what you say but getting it back is not easy your not going to get any police attention cos they are all too busy with handheld speed cameras so you are only able to go via small claims court which is very lengthy process and u incur even more cost.

After i had all my probs with a duff peugeot 306, i decided that the car i bought in the end was at least £350 less that it should have been and counted myself lucky that i could absorb the cost that way. £200 is even more of an insult.

If it was me i'd probably just drop the police a quick call for advice but to be honest they are not likely to get the money back IMO. Could also try a letter suggesting a few days to return or xxxxx

Seller sounds like a total idiot playing with peoples time and walking away with their cash...t**t

[quattronutter]

i would be on his doorstep for the money if you dont get it back,even if travelling expenses were more than the money owed

[Fat Audi 80]

Me too, I am only a slim lad but have some beefy mates. I think I would be looking for my money back or some retribution.

Try PH, at the very least you will get a long thread and a

[gearjammer]

Contacted PH by email and will contact paypal tomorrow. We have a saying that money obtained dishonestly will have "no luck in it" so I take some solace in that. Most people wouldn’t dream of acting the way this idiot has. Told me the price had to go up because sooo many people were interested in the car. If he wanted an auction, he should have stuck it on ebay.
