I could murder his pensioner

eeeeeee

I want too scream , but ime just hope0ing that no-one actually buys this car ;
today i went too view a beautiful looking mark 4 golf tdi 11k from new; the owner wold not give me the registration prior too the auction end for security reasons ; he said he was the 2nd owner that he is elderly and harldy used the car only on pension days ; hence its low mileage ;" perfek" i though ideal for the mrs school run trips down too grannies in brighton ... Truely lovely gleaming car inside out ... Then it went down hill form there on ; this guy has around 6 different cars on his drive in various states of repair ; ohoh i thought quietly ; so asked too see the paperwork ... In a mo he said take a good look round and i"ll take you for a test drive first ....
So i did went for a drive ... Got back too his and he invited me in ; he then got the paperwork out for the car ; like i was a child , not a mature man ove 50... He held up th v5 book hen put it back down on his lap . Then one by one each reciept .... He then asked me too put a deposit down on the car and asked me for the name and address pen ready on the log book!) ... A quick bit of thinking ... I distracted him by asking for the 2nd key ( which i saw he left in the hallway as we went in ) he put the paperwork in the side board out of my reach and went into the hall ... I jumped up as he turned his back and opened the draw and grabbed all of the bits of paper ( ican still move pretty quick lol) ; he came in and caught me with the paperwork i my hand shutting the draw" dont mind do you as ime buying the car ) he looked furious bright red face like he was going too explode; he sat down and so did i he then asked for my details again and i said hang on just need too read these bits of paper so i know what ime buying ; when i got too the bottom piece of paperwork which was the v5 he told me that the numbers and letters on it mean nothing really and that i was just wasteing time reading it , so i read it from top too bottom ...and there it was ....scatd broad as daylight lying devious old basket who had obviously done this before and very polished in his dsiplay and story lines

I've lost it a bit here. What was on the V5 which alerted you?

Reading that was hard work, sorry.

So, the lesson we need to learn from this story is,

Ask if the vehicle has been in a serious accident or is it a Cat declared by DVLA BEFORE we visit.

The vehicle was a CAT D.

I'm afraid I've never come across that before. What is CAT D?

Plenty more Golfs in the sea...

so I take it this pensoner buys cars that have "minor" damage, does them up and sells them?

If I rememeber my Watchdog programme there are 4 catagorys

A
B
C
D

It's the old saying BUYER BEWARE

Yes he's devious and should have told you but that does not give you the right to go through his drawer.

Guessing you didn't buy the car:rotfl:

Ahhhh *loud clunking noise as penny drops* I see. So theoretically it can be sold but it's history should have been declared. Got it, by George he's got it!
