Huge claims, huge bhp, apparent trophy 172, gumtree special
Gumtree's good for some things, I had an armchair and sofa I needed rid of,
it was in good nick so I stuck it on Scumtree 'free to collect',
within 3 hours a bloke had shown up and strapped it to the roof of his car and driven off,
saved me a trip to the tip.

Yes, free listings.
Not sure on support, I very much doubt it. To me it's more a site that you either view in person to make sure it's all ok, or if delivering you pay via paypal so you get protection that way.
I dont think the buyer of this clio will get much help from gumtree, or the police for that matter. It will be a small claims court jobby if he cba to go through the hassle.

Sorry for the late reply.
Sounds very much like fraud to me. I'd be getting onto the action fraud website and reporting it.
Can joe blogs report it or does it have to be the person affected?
Also, this whole sold as seen thing isnt exactly correct.
If i sold a car stating that it was in perfect working order... and it wasnt. The buyer has rights against me.
Im sure Daniel will explain stuff like that being in the business but when i bought a rotten 106 and was a bit naive about 106s. I spoke to trading standards and i COULD have got my money back etc if i took it that far.
Anyways, i wouldnt go near a car that was advertised as 'sold as seen'. Its fairly obviously its a shitheap imo!

Sold as seen means nothing. As the buyer will say what he saw was a working car!
if selling a car privately though all you have to do is describe it honestly.
if you sell me a 10k and it blows up on my way home then so long as it can't be shown you had any reason to think it would then i haven't got a leg to stand on.
a trader though has to not only be honest but sell a car fit for purpose. So if it blows up 5 months later I am covered as a buyer so long as I haven't mistreated or failed to service it in anyway that can be proved by the seller
Just go read the sale of goods act if you want more detail.

Link?
Is that the same seller, or the clueless tit that bought it off him
then realised it's actually a sh*t heap with none of the mods it was advertised as having?

I guess whoever he sold it to threatened to knock his teeth out if they didn't get their money back.
Local to our way Tony?
He lives near bridgend I believe, he's not a mate just someone on my facebook.
The wheels have been sprayed black now.
He'll sell it in a week or so, he don't keep cars long.
