Well, i went to Leeds to see it today and i wish i'd not bothered :roll:

Turned out to be some seedy dealer with loads of 150 quid sierra's, cav's and 50 quid orions :shock:

.
The truck used to be a Tesco fridge van(home delivery), the guy took that body off and put the dropside on( he said he bought the body off e-bay) :!:

Loads of problems, No remote fob, smashed front plate, no back lights(he cut the wires to get the Tesco body off), interior was disgusting :shock:

,
had 126k on clock not 100k, and really badly botched in passenger seat welded in :!:

(apparently the Tesco vans have no passenger seats??)

and to top it all, and i quote :shock:

"all it needs for its ticket is the back light wires twisting together and the body bolting on" :shock:

Needless to say i walked :wink:

a***holes like this really p1ss me off :evil:

reason for edit: original post was 4ft wide!!

BODY BOLTING ON???? I once walked away from a Mk1 like that, offered to leave the body with him, as I thought it was safer an more legal to drive off without it, but he said no.......

It was a mess Fred :evil:

I wouldn't give him 2k for it :!:

by **FredTransit** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 9:25 pm

Unbeleivable. How do these chancers think they can get away with it??? They must do ulitmately or they wouldn't do it.

by **mrgasoil** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 9:35 pm

The p1sser is they DO get away with it. :evil:

I don't mind someone trying to earn an honest buck, everybody has to best they can :wink:

These crooks couldn't lie straight in bed and it would seem it's easy to get away with it. B*stard cost me 2 hours and a tenners worth of diesel in the car :evil:

What botheres me is the reason poeple like this get away with it is the level of the quality of vans out there that people will buy.

by **mrgasoil** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 9:59 pm

Anyway's going to buy from the auction's again i think :wink:

Bought me flareside 5 years ago 90k on clock for 2.2k(ex speedy hire),
just bide my time and the "one" will turn up eventually

Be a bonus if i get another ex speedy, it would be red :lol:

I once went with a mate to look at a Granada (yes it was a few years ago)

The car was described as having no rust, and it was rotten as a pear. When we asked to look inside, the guy said "have either of you got a ford key I can borrow" :shock:

We walked away :roll:

by **chadmat** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:04 pm

The thing is someone will buy that truck!
What a wonderful world!!
