Last week I saw an ad on the AdTrader website for a Disco in Dudley, phoned the seller and asked all the right questions, won't bore you with it all. On a subsequent call he volunteered to fax me the documents, and after a bit of trouble I found that my neighbours had a fax machine but after three attempts by the seller, nothing appeared. He gave me the regd. number and I did an HPI check - all clear. Then we decided to go and see the motor in a couple of days time. Coincidentally, there was an exhibition at the NEC we wanted to see, so I contacted the seller and we made arrangements to meet. We live near Inverness so we flew down to East Midlands, rented a car and stayed with a cousin in Leicester. The seller phoned me when we arrived at the airport and again that evening and we agreed to meet at the NEC at 9am and he said he would phone me to tell me where he was parked. So we set off at 8.15 but were likely to be a few minutes late due to roadworks, so I phoned him. No reply. We arrived at the NEC only 6 minutes late, but no phone call. After three further calls, there was still no reply from him, so we went to the exhibition at 9.45 having given up.
The main reason for going south was to look at the vehicle and he let us spend a considerable sum on flights, rental car and meals and for what? What sick mind does that? After this, I am not travelling miles to see a motor, nor will I arrange to meet a seller anywhere other than the owners address or will I respond to an ad with just a mobile phone number. Was he going to steal the motor the night before or were we going to be robbed of the cash? Just to add insult to injury, Ryanair would not let us on the flight home as I didn't have the right bit of paper, so we had to rent another car and drive back, with an overnight in a hotel. I hope I don't meet this idiot.
