What a joker.

Postby issics » Thu Feb 22, 2007 11:22 pm

As some of you know ive sold my tipper. Ive been looking for a 260 or 280 and eventually found one in chester. I went to look at it today.

What a fffff :twisted: kng joke!

I tell you what im totally livid. I spoke to the chap and he said yeah its in great condition all over and its well worth coming to see.

1. steering wheel wasnt straight
2. 2 bald tyres
3. side door wont open
4. back door wont open
5. no key fob for central locking
6. seats had been used as sh :twisted: t paper

It truly was a minter! i took it for a drive to give it a chance and on returning to the bloke he said `let me tell you about the central locking`
`the previous owner locked his keys inside` `the way to get in by tripping the locking system is to take a hacksaw blade, run it down the edge of the back doors and cut through the wires` then showed me the wires cut through.

I handed the keys back and said `mate, save your breath, have the keys, youve lied to me and wasted my f :twisted: kng time` and drove off.

People like this should be seriously hurt im telling you, what an absolute joke. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

If anybody has a 260 or 280 for around 4grand let me know.

Seen plenty like that :!: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Keep trying, the right one will come along and you'll know straight away when it's going home with you :D

But make sure you take it there and then, as some crooks change tyres/radios etc....... while you come back with the money :wink:
