RicoW Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 So, that helped you all reading this... Please read this! my mate got screwed by a member on here. A very good friend was VERY VERY exicited last weeks...He decided to buy a GTT and was looking around on gumtree etc, I gave him advice that he should look on here for some nice EP's.(it's a pretty big step to buy a car in the UK from the Netherlands)just because it's one big family here with more knowledge about the cars for sale etc... So he started looking around, found the GT turbo of his dreams and started chatting with the seller.after a while they made a deal. he arranged his flight over to the UKtemp. insurancemade an appointment to get his paperwork for a dutch licenseplate.booked a ticket for the boat Calais -> Doverhe kept the seller up to date every step he made, sent proof of tickets etc etc So far so good you think? Guess not... The seller is ignoring my mate for 4 days now. No replies on FB, on Whatsapp on here...He even made a phonecall, when he answered it he said he dialed the wrong number.... yeah right... so story short... my mate has lost alot of money because Mr. Seller here decides to Ignore him after the deal was closed... now the name and shame part, because I hope he will realise what a mess he made. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/80038-silver-1995-starlet-gt-turbo-for-salepending-sale/it's about this GT turbo My mate... (fReqski on here) will reply here soon to explain abit more... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shorty Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Bang out of order tbh! Should of just had the balls to tell your mate he cut another deal. Also your mate could of had my silver 5door 4wd starlet for less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 That's pretty shocking to be honest. I had booked flights got insurance and made travel arrangements to get to airport to pick up my white v when the lad decided he wanted to keep it. He messaged me and asked if I still wanted it I told him I'd booked flights and he was like ok then the cars yours can't have you losing out on money and honoured the sale which was dam nice of him. Funnily enough its actually him that just bought the gt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fReqski Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thanks mate for starting this!Okay the buyer is speaking.I'm very disappointed, in this seller guy.First of all we had some conversations about this nice silver gtt. Sent some pictures and videos. Told everybody about it! Whohooo I gonna get a gtt look this one!Wow that's a stunning car man! Low mileage great condition and a pocket rocket.Okay deal mate if you show me the tickets and insurance I'll keep it for u man!Later that evening I bought tickets from Amsterdam schiphol to Birmingham airport for me and my mate. About 200.Ordered a boat ticket for 50 and the 10 days insurance for 120.Still talking to each other about what job you do and etc.Until 3 days ago. Mr. Seller (thanks ricow haha) stopped talking, start ignoring me. Grr.I sent him some messages;Sorry, *mr seller* for stalking.. But get a little nervous. Because u deleted me on Facebook. Also ignoring at what's app.If you sold the car, better say it! I hope i cancel everythin! Hope u understand my situation.(Cancelling doesn't work anymore!)One day later. I called mister seller, he told me i dialed the wrong number. Haha I called exactly the same number... *pusssss*So that's my story.At least, such a liar I've never seen before.Told me, I prefer cash more than carswaps, because he saw another car and need some cash.Dude, u swapped the car....Thanks for reading!Keep up the good work remove, ban, delete this guy from UKSO. Honda communities please abuse this guy in all ways^^. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 You should still come over I'm sure you will find another gt that you like for the price Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shelly_star Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Sorry to hear what a twat of a seller you ran into, to be honest that seller is a bit of prick for promising you with something and then not going through with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 SOMEONE FIND THIS MAN A GT FOR THE RIGHT MONEY THAT HE CAN PICK UP AND RETURN HOME WITH. ANYBODY KNOW OF ANY CARS WITHIN REACH? Lot of guys in england hopefully someone knows of something for you. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RicoW Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 yes Shelly, I pushed him a little bit your direction lol...only downside... his airplane is landing like 100 miles away...so he has to figure out where and how to get a rental car and where the nearest dropoff point is.But I'm sure he is going to make it in time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
