In short, you saw a dog, it looked like a dog but unlike everyone else in the country you then deliberately bought it. And having found it is exactly what it looked like on the forecourt, you're now complaining.

It's great when some chopper doesn't even bother reading the post and simply jumps on his high horse having a dig.:T:T:T

Aye sounds like a plan. we could charge for hunting permits to make up the budget deficit and lower fuel tax.

Killermont thats it I was typing it on the iphone and my fingers are too big for the keyboard.

car was very well presented except the cracked windscreen and bootlid paint, only minor issues and not dealbreakers but the dishonest scam tactics is what did it.

Bought an immaculate 06 plate 80k in black with 3 months warrenty for not much more. Just came up for sale this morning and bought it at lunchtime.

!!!!!!!!. Learn to read. It was clean, straight, had a full documented service history, drove perfect, scanned it with carsoft and found no problems and checked every panel with an expensive, calibrated paint thickness gauge and the only one that had seen paint was the bootlid,

You have a short term memory. At the start of the thread it was:

in generally nice condition except for a cracked windscreen and a very shoddy respray of the bootlid with runs and clearcoat flaking neither of which were mentioned whenI phoned and asked about the condition,

Of course you used a paint thickness gauge - everyone has one of those in their back pocket...Riiight.

You're a complete retard.

Nowhere does it say he went ahead and bought the car. Seriously, can you not READ?????


Here's a paint thickness gauge for £18 - Hardly blows anyones budget when intending to spend so much on a car

Wonder how accurate they are. They look pretty good.

I use a paint detective PD7. readings of between 105-150 microns on most of the car but 200-230 on the bootlid but you could see the runs and general shoddiness of the repair a mile off. An easy fix and nothing to stop from buying the car at the right price but I just don't deal with !!!!!!, which is why I'm going to stop bothering about hammyman and why I didn't pay the extra £100 to the garage.

That magnetic gauge might be ok on older cars but cars like the e60 have a lot of aluminium panels so you need a f/nf gauge. I'm right into detailing so I invested in a decent gauge to keep an eye on clearcoat removal rates when machine polishing.

Its a 100k car
Think your maybe wanting a bit too much. The boot doesnt look too bad from the pictures.

Am I not typing in english here? My complaint wasn't about the condition of the car. I had accepted that with 100k on it it would need attention for stonechips etc. I was quite happy to take the car like that. My complaint is that after paying the deposit and transferring isurance, hpi etc. They waited until we went to pick the car up and demanded an extra £100 on top of the agreed price or they wouldn't sell the car.
Plus you haven't seen the paintwork on the bootlid, it had 2 large runs in the lacquer, a dry section which was heavily mottled and a 5 inch edge where the paint was flaking off. I would be ashamed to do a job like that on a £500 car. It needed fixing, and I was prepared to do it at the price the car was up for and even if the car was listed £100 higher I would have paid that too but not much more as It needed a £300 windscreen, £200 respray on the tailgate and a £200 wheel refurb. But what they did by demanding extra money at the point they did was out of order.
