Buying cars is always a nightmare

Especially private sales, from somewhere near Portsmouth

Haha ... I really should have moved after selling my 172! Not because I was worried about the 172, but because Nik and Day came round unannounced (where they'd been with you that day) when Nik got his Trophy and the missus has never got over it .

Corr ... I actually take a step outside of General Chat for once, and it's a roller coaster ride of a thread!

Buying cars is always a nightmare, and to prove the point I've been told I've got to ring up Citroen today, since one of the keys has packed up, and now I've got to argue with them about how the first year warranty on a Citroen Approved used car is as per a new car and so should cover everything.

Anyhows, there's a different point ... if Richardson ever has enough, what are you thoughts on much older men? I love redheads; you've got great spelling and grammar; you've fire in your belly about things being done properly. It'd be fun! :evil:

Deviant! LOL.

 

[® Andy]

Deviant! LOL.

I try my best ... and darn I'm good at it .

 

[Needster]

Yes. It would seem at Facebook stalking too. Anyway enough off topic.

Oh hai!

 

[Tom]

This sorted yet?

Haha ... tho' you stole my punch line :rasp:.

Fingers crossed for a positive outcome to your car trials!

I had a similar problem when I bought my 1.2 Evans Halshaw lost the service book and manual. In the end they got me a service book and stamped the service they'd done. I then had to go to Arnold Shark and get them to stamp the service they had done.

Luckily at less than 2 years old it had only had two services so wasn't hard to trace its history. The bloke I sold it too didn't even no what a service was anyway so it wouldn't of mattered come resale either way.

I actually had to buy a manual off ebay too. I should have persued that realy but I just wanted a car and I got it dirt cheap so was more bothered about driving it.

Hope you get it sorted out though, If you pay for a car with FSH that is what you expect. I'm sure you won't but just don't back down and make them sort it out.

19 Pages and no conclusion, thank fcuk you don't work for the United nations.

I'd rather have 0 service history and know its been to someone like Rentech for every service, as opposed to some 17 year old YT pleb doing it at Renault, before ragging it up the road on its brake test, FSH is only as good as the guy who's doing it.

 

[Needster]

Have you read any of the latest posts, Dave, about what's happening? No?

Right, then C.B.H!

I have to give them the opportunity to correct this. I can moan that they've had since last Thursday all I want, but they've got till this afternoon to find the book on site. If not, it'll move onto the next stage - as I've already said about 50 f**king times.

 

[Weeman]

Calm down dear LOL

I don't have the time inbetween quaffing champers and Foie Gras to read an entire thread.

3 K buys my golf, I'll even deliver it.

 

[Needster]

Well, it seems that my calling round the dealers from where one it's previous owners has, thankfully, turned up a record of a service in February 2007.

I contacted Evans Halshaw and provided the details. Adam has ordered a new service book today, called off the search for the old book, and is going to ring Renault Orpington and get a new book all fully stamped for me.

It's such a relief, however it doesn't mean they're going to get of any more lightly. When I have the service book in my hand, I'll do a Les Grossman on their ass.

Thanks everyone for comments, and especially Steve Murr who provided some really useful advice via PM also.

 

[Tom]

Oh, well thats a bit boring.

So no real harm done, just a bit of stupidity from the dealer/salesman.

 

[Bubbles]

LOL brilliant, i hope lessons have been learnt

 

[Needster]

The sound of relief in the salesmans voice was ridiculous. I think he'd been knee deep in old service books for most of the morning!

 

[Lou]

Glad you got it sorted out!! You can now enjoy the car!!

 

[Needster]

Don't worry Willy, they won't be getting off lightly. When I have in my hand what I want then I'll still write to their Head Office. Muwhahaha.


Thanks Lou.

Thanks Lou.

Meanwhile at Evans Halshaw HQ...

 

[Needster]

LOL probably. TBH, I just want to drop them in the s**t, he still bought a car in with no service book and sold something to me at that time which wasn't what they described it as. He deserves a bollocking or "s**t rolls downhill" he said. Affplimsole!

 

[MrTrick]

Glad you've got it all sorted now.

 

[Sarah]

glad its sorted

 

[Dansta]

WOW.. TEN PAGES OF TRIPE. Where do I claim compensation for my life lost?

Women are so f**king moany. I wondered if you'd ever get bored of repeating the same thing 20x a page.

Happy Friday.

Good luck with this one Jon.

 

[Tom]

High Five! See you monday!

 

[clairemae]

Glad its all sorted out for you finally

 

[Needster]

Blow me, gorgeous.

Don't let the door hit that pretty face on the way out!


Cheers, Claire. Same to you and the poor monaco

 

[Dansta]

High Five! See you monday!

 

[Aluco]

So you're keeping the 182 ?

 

[Mike_182]

Glad it's all sorted! Now you can get some polish on the swirlbus.

 

[Needster]

LOL I won't be Mike. CBA. But one of the NE lot might help with a PC at some point when it's warmer. It'll be the first and last one it'll ever get probably.

Edit: Sorry missed your post Aluco. Yes, I've no reason to complain now they've - well I've -found the missing history. It'll be as they sold it, which I was happy with.

I still hate them for f**king it up, but meh.

 

[Mike_182]

You definitely bought the wrong colour then... My Vee is littered with RDS' and such likes and it bugs the f*ck out of me!

 

[Needster]

Polishing a car for hours every weekend doesn't interest me. Wash. Dry. Done.

Oh how things have changed. You used to spend hours and hours cleaning the blue shed.

At least it's all sorted now.

 

[TimR26]

Ending of this thread is bit of an anti-climax.

 

[Chili Red]

Ah all sorted.

Good news, although I was kind of hoping you'd go in there Lara Croft-style and kick their cheap shiny-suited asses.

 

[Needster]

I really wanted to but I can't now it's sorted LOL!

[Munson]

What a let down. s**t thread

 

[fUbAr]

So will you be taking it to Renault for every service now?

Didn't think so... there goes your FRSH you spent so long getting
