now , thats what i call it a disaster!
my mate has had a ford galaxy 2008 with all the xtras the car would come, bought 2 years ago for 20.000 pounds, from ford dealer
needing the money, he s put it on autotrader, and was flooded with enquiries but mainly from scam people
being a bit usueless at selling or with emails as he never sold a car before, i tried to help and in the end started telling him, he should surrender his car to a dealer and get the most of it as , either the scam people were calling or one of these agencies asking for 80 pounds and they ll send ''clients desperatelty in need of a car like yours''
he said ,no
today as we were working i hear his phone rings and he tells the guy'' my wife s home, im at wrk, you can have a look at it and we can talk over the phone etc''
told my mate that his wife is incapable of driving..neither used to sell potatos let alone a many thousand pound car so he should tell the caller, to come about 5 pm when my mate is home
next thing we hear his wife calling
the ;;prospective buyer'' had just grabed keys from her hands pushed her and run away!!!!
police involved etc
thank god he s fully comprehesive cover and even got a gap insurance(return to invoice) so hopefully setle it with them....but man oh man..he s lost few kilos already!
never heard such a thing, but the policeman i spoke to told me is becaming too comon, so beware ho s selling
get on the pasenger seat and then let the other drive or turn the engine on!!

Why have you not been banned you muppet.0

I think having someone banned for having a faulty keyboard and/or a poor grasp of english is a bit harsh.0

That's the Police advise, however i'm not sure id want to be asked to leave my vehicle at gunpoint by some crackhead.
Got CCTV on the front door to my house (actually a hi-res webcam), you'd be pretty stupid to do something like that after giving a close up of your face.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Another one! Do you have one in the kazzi too?
One in the car, one on my front door, one overlooking my back garden ( detering those pesky scrap metal dudes from stealing my aluminium garden furniture).
The front door one has been useful when complaining to the Royal Mail about the parcel postman who kept shoving pre-writen 749 ("sorry we missed you") cards through my door without even checking to see if I was at home.....“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Sadly another reason why these webuyanycar type companies are entering the market in ever larger numbers.
It is iffy selling any vehicle that the crooks want for spares of ringing.
It used to be risky when selling BMW's or Audi's, now they are looking to steal any vehicle with a good spares market.
Sadly this person's Galaxy is either now "rung" or stripped for spares to keep some Taxis or Private Hire Galaxy's on the road cheaply.0
