[lemonnobby]

just thought i would say back up for sale http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-...liquid-yellow-has-sat-nav-low-miles/101011321

 

[sbridgey]

Look at the price!

 

[Fred@BTM]

1 too many zero's

 

[Knuckles]

Completely standard lol he has made it look like a 'normal' 182 though by making the exhaust wonky ha

 

[julzh]

Is it just me or has it disappeared again?????????( link now doesn't work)

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah its gone, does that mean someone on here owns it?

 

[RDH]

Lol that thing is never selling.

 

[Fred@BTM]

It said Edinburgh in the gumtree ad, was in milton keynes previously

 

[Jay.S]

Lol for that to be removed within 15mins surely someone is watching this thread.

 

[lemonnobby]

correct unless someone reported it (dont know if you can on gumtree) oh dear oh dear.
as soon as you type liquid yellow 182 in google 10 pages of warnings come up about this car
it had been on there 3 days in total

 

[RDH]

What was it advertised for out of curiosity?

 

[Aaron182.]

5400 i think

 

[julzh]

yeah its gone, does that mean someone on here owns it?

Well it was gone within 10 minutes of the thread being reactivated so I guess he at least pops in to the site.

 

[RDH]

Just looked on google and it is basically on every car forum, all linked to this thread. Hopefully nobody buys it, there is enough warnings out there.

 

[Aaron182.]

yeah looks like axnxdxy

​

posted on every forum he could think of.

 

[lemonnobby]

Yeah Google is a good advert for the car.
Yeah 5.4k

 

[Fred@BTM]

public enemy no.1 me

 

[GoldenMonkey]

I personally would threaten them with legal action an demand compensation for this. End of the day you're the one in the right and under the sales of good act you can return that car for a full refund anyway. How they're trying to mug you off for £250 is just a further insult. Hope all this gets resolved for you, I'd be truly gutted if that was me!

 

[julzh]

My laptop saved the Gumtree page after I looked last night and on rechecking today it contains almost no info on the seller/car at all, just the usual, 33k, taxed till Oct, cambelt and major service carried out 4k ago. It has just been mot'ed so april 2013 and up at £5.4 (as above) No name or telephone number, you had to go through Gumtree and the seller says

"No silly offers or time wasters, you wont be tolerated.
I am not in a hurry to sell as the car is brilliant and extremely desirable.

I am looking to see how much interest she gets then take it form there.

messages left will be responded to as soon as possible, thanks."

The map with the ad pinpoints Specsavers in Musselburgh

 

[Cup_Phil]

Gumtree page is working for me

OP should have reported to DVLA - if you swap engines you're supposed to inform the DVLA the new engine number.

 

[SC03OTT]

I'd go and have a look for a laugh, if I could be arsed.

FLOL!!!

 

[Matthew]

Brilliant thread.

Could save someone alot of distress.

 

[RDH]

The ad works for me again now. I wonder why there is no engine bay shots?

 

[lemonnobby]

Ill email the bloke tonight. ad is now live again

 

[Christopher]

LOL. What a total dog.

 

[R-Sport.]

I wonder if its a private sale or the same dealer-

Maybe they just outed it to some poor unsuspecting innocent person- Either way hopefully it wont sell-

It wont sell anyway at that price
S

 

[Marky_]

Someone without the internet will buy it.

 

[Chapppers11]

FLOL at people saying it wont sell!

There is a buyer for everything.

 

[weemark]

I reported it to gumtree

 

[Aaron182.]

I shared it on facebook with a warning

 

[Dan-]

I reported it to gumtree

Why not contact the seller first? Its in scotland now it was originally in Milton keynes maybe its a new owner who doesnt have a clue about the problems.

 

[Lou]

Wonder where about in Edinburgh this is! Might go take a look! Say I want a second LY!

 

[Aaron182.]

It's location has changed like 6 times in the last week......

 

[lemonnobby]

sent him a message

Good to see this thread is still on the go, a friend told me earlier today it was back up for sale. I may have put it on a 'few' forums, but it has certainly spread well

Hope all this gets resolved for you, I'd be truly gutted if that was me!

I know my rights under the sale of goods act, I know I should have got all my money back, but after speaking to trading standards, a lawyer, and taking further advice, it really was not worth my time or effort. If it had gone to court not only would I have the extra costs involved there, but if I did win I could still be waiting indefinitely for my money if he tries to avoid paying up. Whilst all this was going on I had no means of transport, and stretching that out any longer was not really an options. The Google search results help to make up for my £250 that I am without.

It was also reported to the DVLA, I guess they took it no further if the car is still on the road.


Would be interesting to know if it's been sold to someone else in Edinburgh, or if it has been given to someone to try shifting it somewhere else.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Someone will buy it. He did.

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Im gonna ask for the engine number and chassis number see what he comes back with

 

[axnxdxy]

It's back!
