Agghh - Massive rant - Trophy content

[BREMBO]

I'm sure 90% of garages do not have a clue!

I thought I was onto a winner here - http://www.evanshalshaw.com/vehiclesearch/used/renault-used-car-sm55azf.html was planning on going through in the next 2/3 hours to have a look. Phoned yesterday was advised it was in really good condition, they would normally put a car this age/mileage to auction but is too good - sounds good but taken with a pinch of salt. Anyway phoned earlier to try and find out the build number, said I would get a call back. Phoned just there car is no longer for sale as is to un safe to sell, £3k bill to repair, seems to all be mechanical with live wires being mentioned.

Anyway why the hell advertise a car without even having a clue, worrying really. On another note I had some free time on Sunday so stopped at the Ford garage asked the salesman do you have the new Fiesta ST in, replied no sorry we don’t, walked about 4ft and there was a white one. I then went round to the Renault garage, usually idiot grey suit walks out giving me the chat, and I asked if they had the new Clio Sport in - yes follow me, I then mentioned the 200T. He actually stopped, had a think about it and said no we don’t have one of those, clearly was going to show me some 1.2 MTV

Anyway rant over, too good to be true on this occasion!

How much was it up for?

 

[BREMBO]

Still on AT - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif.../postcode/eh45lb/page/1/radius/1501?logcode=p

£3,091 - 74K miles, looks fairly standard, stupid F1 stickers, missing splitter and possible missing aerial

A trophy for £3000 and bells didn't start to ring straight away?

Trophy tax usually sees another £1500 on top of that...



Maybe a staff member or trade sale bought it pretty much straight away?

Perhaps, phoned was told it was clean, as said didn't look into that much. All in the viewing which I was about too do

I assumed they didnt have a clue what they were selling, just a red clio.

This could still be true and someone else has bought it? That or you'll see it up for sale next week with £1500 added on.

A Clio sport is a 1.2.

Not much thats hard to fix on a clio, should have offered to buy it off them for spares/repair?

Jeez, gets better. Called me back, by accident asking for Wendy? anyway I confirmed again that they aren't selling it. No to unsafe and to expensive to repair but he confirmed that they had taken a deposit of someone which he didnt know about. Brilliant.

I looked at a trophy similar to this in golspie, highlands owned by some formula 3 driver lewis williamson, it turned out to be a cat d and had similar gash f1 stickers on the front!

Hi There Ben,

Sorry but i totally forgot last night and i was working till 11pm.

Went to look tonight and you have already posted this.
Can you PM me what auction house its going to and what day.

My mate who buys and sells cars in West Lothian said he seen one going through the Auctions a couple of weeks ago and it went for silly money but was a total dog.

 

[Dan@SJM]

My customer was also going to buy this and was told the same thing.
