Title: Well I was buying a nice omega estate this weekend
Post by: Duncan Grier on 09 September 2011, 12:29:24
Well all was going well this week, had arranged to buy P6UL K omega estate in the for sale section (white special), deal done, changed my insurance over yesterday (admin fee and increase as mine is currently the 2.5 paid) and planned to collect this weekend arranged a lift there to collect sold my omega cheap which is due to be collected tonight
Only to get a text from Paul this afternoon saying he is keeping it, so has put me in a right pickle!!!!

I have no problem he has changed his mind but it’s the lack of communication and my good faith in that what was agreed was actually happening,  and now possibly have no car at all unless I let the guy down who has purchased mine (about to call him) and whichever way I do it having 2 admin fee charges and hopefully the extra premium back in full from insurance

I hate been messed about and why I a straight when I buy or sell anything, if you don’t want to sell something don’t

Strange how things change and had hoped to run the car for a year and complete the v8 conversion next winter but am that peed off don’t even want an omega now!!

Moderators could you update the advert to say it’s no longer for sale?

Rant over and back to work!!!

Waste of my time and money

Well thats efficiency for you!  Just got in from work to update the for sale thread and it would appear i don't have that option as its been unfairly taken  out of my hands  ::)

I drive a lorry for my work so I'm unable to use a phone or computer willy nilly and as i explained to you Duncan I've been on the cliff face in the docks at Dover today with little or no signal on my phone and to add i got up for work at 3.30am this morning having only got in from work at 9pm last night, so i'm shattered now and last night consisted of food and bed - not that i have to justify myself.

I apologised for my last minute decision, but we hadn't sorted the non-taxed issue so the car wasn't going anywhere and no deposit had been paid so i was well within my rights to cancel the sale, i didn't think selling her would be such a ball ache but when it came to the crunch i just couldn't do it - I enjoy driving her too much!

If Jim could close/delete my for sale thread - it would be appreciated and i can only but apologise again for the lack of communication and my last minute decision.

selling and buying cars is not easy subject for both..
