drove whole way to cork city today to look at a hdi 206 for the missus a foreigner owned it said it was mint and seen it on donedeal and carzone it looked clean got there after gettin lost from bad directions from him and discovered it was a ball of dirt it had loads of dints an scraps etc had been tipped on the front and back and badly put together angry7 the pics that he had up were obviously when he bought the car first took it for a test drive there was a bad knockin sound from front right ball joint maybe pointed it out said no nothing wrong wit it felt like killin him wasten my time over it be last car ill look at thats owned by a foreigher but on good side got a good day out in the scooby got down and back with no issues on a full tank of juice about 450km so not bad :subaru:
 
nothing worse than time wasters, buyers or sellers, irish or foreign

atleast you got the day out in the scooby
 
My man Phil has a little beauty of a 00 hdi 206 with only 50K+ miles.
I thinks she's a 1.9 and I was very tempted recently.

Cheers, P
 
You will only get caught this way the once Ger, You can narrow your search down more the next time :thumbsup:
I cant think of anything around at moment like that
 
I feel your pain, drove nearly 4 hours to the most westerly point of Cork a number of years ago to look at a "mint" type ra...only to find out the head gasket was gone...and the forestry tyres that were still on it gave a good indication of what the car had been used for previously :angry1:
 
same happened to me last week. went to met a guy as he wanted to buy my sound system rang him when i was in cork and he said he be down in 15mins and well never came.

i was well pissed!
 
nothin as bad dont mind the journey if its good but when its the opposite jus look around local for summit for her she wants a diesel 206 3dr or a 3dr diesel mk4 golf hard find summit when ya need it :icon_grin:

I get all my cars in Gaeltacht and always do all the wheeling and dealing through Gaeilge- good pedigree car assured and never got a dodgy motor this way
 
This country is full of time wasters, one lad offered me 2 grand for my car and i told him no way and he said, ah i thought u were stuck to sell it and u wud take it but i suppose u cant blame them for chancing their arm but nothing as bad as when u travel a long journey to look at a so called mint motor and it a pile of krap, do these people actually think their car is mint :ponder2: :ponder2:
 
1., sorry for Your day wasted , I know how it feels like. Once I drove to Drogheda from Athlone to view a car.Talk to the men before left from home and when got there His phone was off.

2., That means You wouldn't buy the wagon from Me? : ( only joking :icon_grin:)
