Clocked Car for sale - can I report it here?
« on: 23 October 2008, 22:07:13 »
I was about to buy a car from a private seller.

They showed me the mycarcheck.com paperwork, but I though it could be played with or forged, so I thought I would double check it.

Yep...the 66,000 mile 53 reg 2.6CDX was too good to be true - actually done over 110,000!

Am I allowed to post the registration to ensure others don't fall fowl of this car?

I will keep looking...anyone got a <65,000 2.6CDX of 2002-2003 year?!

That's funny...

I have dealt with one bloke, it was his house (kids new him as Dad!). He appeared on the phone and in person to have some mild difficulty in understanding English, to the degree that he couldn't string a perfect written sentance together.

But somehow he has managed perfect grammar! The mist is rising and I am seeing how close I got to being conned in more ways than one.

EDIT: forgot to quote
