Found a forfour for my dad but it was in Blackburn (190miles from me) so after a long chat with the seller on the phone and him reiterating what it said in the advert (mint inside and out) and stating it was an 8 out of 10 but he was only saying that to cover himself because he was sure there wasn't a mark on it, I decided to put a deposit down and went up to get it today.......
410 mile round trip and 9 hours plus £60 fuel, and 2 train journeys for my dad - what a fkin waste of my life!!
Please no one go and waste their time with this car. To say that it is mint inside and out is an outright falesy!! The trid in front of the rear wheels looks like its been sand blasted, there are numerous dents in the trid panel behind the rear door, the drivers seat is torn to pieces on the bolster and both front seats are snagged beyond repair. The red interior is filthy, the interior carpet is thread bare and has been cut between the gear surround and the dash that was rivetted to the tunnel. There was no wiper arm on the passenger side. The windscreen was scratched. There was a large scrape on the rear drivers wheel arch down to the white plastic. Almost every panel had a scratch on it. The rear panel under the boot was very scraped. The boot wouldn't open. The key was trashed and after one open wouldn't work again. The spare key had no buttons and the internals rattled. The full instruction pack was there minus the service shedule. The mot certificate was done the day before and signed by the not station across the road and had no advisories (even though the guy said last week that the brakes were flagged up and thus replaced - they weren't) and there was no emissions print outs. And the v5c was torn in 2 parts and given they said they had just received it then it all smelt fishy
Why do people lie about the standard of cars - did they think I would just agree to the sale??
