darylb Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 spoke to dave earlier today, waiting on him to call me tomorrow for an outcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy_G Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 this seems a bit shit, however forgetting what dave knew etc. the responsibility lies with the buyer to fully inspect the car as the rights you have are pretty piss poor and you really cant trust anyone sadly.personally i think if you get any money out of dave you will do well as its 2 months after!! but at the same time if dave offers help then good on him.by the way u shudnt launch a public attack on someone when you could have tried sorting it out a little more privatly, i dont like how you did that..my opinion.hope u two work something out and the little car gets fixed up nice good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darylb Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 59bhp i posted in my welcome thread and showed the car, in which she replied oh yer thats glanza jims old car, i dont expect people to nose at all for sale posts, it was just the fact she had posted about the car and knew i was getting it. so please feel free to comment when u know all the story Quote Link to post Share on other sites
59bhp Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 yeah fair enough but not a lot of people would feel comfortable with telling someone there new car is knackered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darylb Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 i hadnt bought the car when i posted it up i had only paid a deposit, i didnt pick it up till 3 weeks or so after i posted my welcome thread where i asked people if they knew about the car at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave-gtturbo Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Maybe she forgot, or assumed it had been repaired, rather than hidden?Either way, I'm sure I'd notice a car as squint as it appeard in the pics when I went to view it...Just my opinion though.Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 That would be wrong if someone posted negative comments on the seller's item, I would be quite pee'd if someone done that to something I was selling anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darylb Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 That would be wrong if someone posted negative comments on the seller's item, I would be quite pee'd if someone done that to something I was selling anywayso its wrong to post or to send a pm telling some1 that the car they are buying has problems, does make me wonder bout some people, i wouldnt like to see some1 buy a car with big problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darylb Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 yer i no i should have gone round the car with a fine toothcomb, but if people know about a shit car being sold surely they wud b a decent enough of a person to let the poor fucker who buying know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave@TM-Developments.com Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 yer i no i should have gone round the car with a fine toothcomb, but if people know about a shit car being sold surely they wud b a decent enough of a person to let the poor fucker who buying knowI must admit I thought a community such as this would look out for fellow members but maybe not.............Having said that the car is an absolute mess, god knows how it passed an MOT with headlights that float about in the wind and had it been involved in "another" accident the front end would have collapsed. A decent MOT tester would have laughed at that when it pulled in.The moral here is very much buyer beware, all may not be as it seeems!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboDave Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Not knowing about what was behind the headlights and being publically slagged on an open Internet forum I think I have done more than I should have in offering to pay for 2/3 of the repair bill, even though after speaking to Trading Standards, The Office of Fair Trading, Consumer Direct and a Solicotor I had no legal obligation to pay anything. I would also have a case for Defamation of Character with no legal justification for this thread on an open and Public Internet forum according to my solicitor, but thats all forgotten about now.The reason I have offered to give the money is because I want to help, not because I had an obligation to, I didnt know Jim and I knew very little history of the car when I got it.The headlights certinally didnt float around in the wind when I owned it for the short while that I did, maybe they got damaged when they were removed for cleaning.Cheque will be in the post end of the week Daryl.Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick_p Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Am gutted for you Daryl ;) Shame as its put your plans back a step now, like I said on msn and as Dave said you would have thought some who knew the history of the car would have said somthing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shelly_star Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 so shelly knowing this and when i posted i was buying the car did you not think to tell me this? i thought places like this where to build a helpful community? thanks for errr telling me now when its slightly to lateHey buddy, i really thought u have already bought the car by then and just thought the car would be in a good nick, and as i have said before, i don;t know the history of the car or if the story is true in what i heard, which was donkey years ago when Jim sold the car. So seeing it back on the forum i thought the car was all good and in good nick. Iam really sorry if you thought i was hiding something, but iam not, just didn't think there was anything wrong with the car to be honest. But i think it's wrong to have a go at me like that. I said i only know the owner of the car and not the history of what happened to it afterwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 think this needs to settle down a bit now, there's nothing you can do but repair the car, and Dave has been a really nice fellow and offered to help and i wish a lot more people were like this. blame could be cast around all day but there isn't any point as it isn't going to solve anything, it's a shame that the car isn't as you first thought but at least it is going to be all sorted and at least the car is not a right off in terms of structural support and you will still be able to dive it.just my thoughts.

scutch0 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 i feel for you mate, this is a tight little community, and we all look out for each other, however the last owner of the car did not regester on this forum, so the last time i saw this car was when jim still owned it, and back then it was mint.im sure i can speak for many members on this forum and say that we had very little idea what condition the car was in, and how the car has been treated.hats off to dave for being a gent about the whole situation, and helping out to get it sorted.
