I went to pick up the P38 today. It didn't come home with me.
Set off at 6am and arrived at 10am. Seller not in sight, yard locked. Phoned and phoned and phoned.
He was seen on whatsapp after I phoned him the first few times and they rang out so he deliberately avoided them. After phoning a dozen or so times he turned his phone off.
Myself and my friend in support bubble (to drive my old car home) both took a day off self-employed work for this, as did my sister who looked after my dogs. I've got to cancel my car insurance I took out on it which will likely cost me a month + admin fee which I think will be about £100 and a tank and a half of fuel about £100 too. The cost of this to us is about £1000. Large enough to be justifiably annoyed about surely.
As we couldn't get any contact from him, we replied from a separate ebay account and another phone number about a different car in his listings. Phoned straight away on another phone.
When confronted, he claims his nephew fell off of his motorbike and that's why he didn't turn up. Maybe I'm unreasonable but I don't believe him.
Of course he's got £900 of mine still which apparently he can't get back in my back account tonight. He claims by tomorrow afternoon. Once that is back with me I'll see if I've calmed down at all but at the moment I feel like taking him to small claims court. As much as anything he was pretty rude and unapologetic on the phone.
My question is does anyone have a P38 4.6 for sale (pre 2001 tax hike preferred, as is Thor electronics), so that i can at least try to transfer the insurance rather than cancel...
Thanks in advance!
