Yeah, first class prick! Worst part is that I was already letting it go at my absolute lowest price and I made that clear to him well before he came. I had advertised the car honestly so there was no way he could justify still bartering the price, so I told him to get lost.
I sold it a week...
Ah right, fair enough.
I remember selling my Corsa VXR some Asian guy made me an offer over the phone which I accepted, he got the train to Derby from Bradford (surprise surprise). He asked for a test drive which is fair enough, provided proof of insurance etc, we both got in the car and before...
Glad it's sorted mate. Hopefully the gearbox is silky smooth!
Also good news about the refund, however I think the only way I'd be happy with the extra 10% is if I'd paid £5000 for the box in the first place though. I'd have tried charging them time for the garage's lost labour (as it's been...
What an absolute nightmare! Sucks to be without your car for so long, never mind it being stuck on the garage’s ramp! Would be certainly asking for some serious compensation in one form or another. Keep us updated.

Typical french car, being the problematic / unreliable one out of the group. Been there myself a few times and i'm sure i'll be there again.
That saying, like you mentioned, i'm sure it held it's own when it came to the twisty's! Looked like an awesome trip!
Decent list you got going there mate!
I know the feeling about potholes, a few sizeable meteorites have struck in my area over the last few years, council haven't seemed to notice. Still, gives my mates something to laugh at when they see me weaving over the road
Nice cars mate. Love the Sparcos in the track car, I’ve got exactly the same, not seen many of them before. They’re a super tight fit though! Guessing I’ve got the xxxs size!
Nice work. Nothing worse than the smell of gearbox oil all over your garage floor, been there myself and has put me off ever changing the stuff again!
Was it not worth doing the belts whilst the engine was out?

Obviously I can't work out an exact figure, but between everyone who's voted on this thread, I can say we've clocked over 3 million miles together in our Cups 😌
