Did anyone ever advertise with Modified Motors in their back section??

Your man Paul rang me up one day after seeing my ad somewhere else and gave me his sales spiel about how to advertise with them, they offer cbg and a few other little bits and bobs, but basically, they dont get taken down until the car is sold.

ANYWAY, the story was that I payed 90 quid in order to get my ad up in their for sale section in the magazine, for 2 months in the big section, plus all the other websites that cbg look after too.

So, first ad came out in the issue with Wez's cars on the front, and it was a feckin shite ad. It said feck all about what was done to it, ie, recently serviced, member of isdc, comes with original md/cd player(?????? yes I have it to send with the car but its not whats in it now, and not something that i would put into an ad if i only had a few words to write it in. so all in all was a bad ad.

So I rang him up and told him it was a crap ad that was put it in the mag and I told him i was raging that i spent 90 quid on this. he said "ok, send me what you want to put into the ad and i'll do it for the next one and i'll then put the ad in for another month cause you werent happy with the first." I said grand, (still a bit pissed off with the ad!). so awaited the next 2 months to see.

This month, with Sean's car on the front of that mag, I dont even see my car in the big section, as was promised! its in the small one alright but i paid for 2 months in the big one. NOW IM REALLY PISSED OFF

I have left a message on his answering machine saying I would like him to ring me back, still no sign, and this is since the mag came out this month, bout a week.

This is a boloxy recession, which i dont think they know this either, I dont just throw 90 quid here and there to anyone, If I do, I trust them to do all they say they will, as other advertising companies such as auto trader and carzone and done deal have done for me.


So has anyone else ever had problems like this with them??


Rant over.
 
I paid CBG 90 Euro for to advertise my car (when it was for sale at the beginning of the year.)
They put it up on the website for 2 weeks and didnt appear in the mag once......

After lots of arguments etc i told em to fick off and aint ever lifted their mag or visited their site since
 
Modified motors ofen ring me when i have cars for sale offering me the same service ,i never went ahead with it but was close to once or twice ,but i sold the car before i got the chance.
i wont be going ahead with any ads with them after reading that :snooty:
 
have to say it lads, but donedeal is the way to go ... 3 euro for an ad which they take from your phone credit , ie no credit cards involved ....

the interface for carzone has gone to the dogs, and autotrader is just as bad ...
coudlnt tell ya the last time i looked at either of them .. let alone cbg
 
yeah id never use cbg myself but i did it because I thought Modified motors was a well looked at magazine. and at the time, 90 quid for these two ad's, im glad to spend the money if i get my car sold but in order to justify me spending that, i need my ad right, and as said it was meant to be in the mag 2 months, the fact that they fecked up the words on the first one, he said he'd give me another free month in the big because of this.

Now I dont even see it in the big one, good words or not and its really pissed me off.

MIJ FTW :mooner: :mooner:
