Right, so this would be the car that I won last week for £420.01? We then arranged for you to bring it to me in Hastings on Friday evening. You didn't turn up, costing me £65 to change my insurance over to a car that you never delivered. You absolute scumbag. Having read your feedback on eBay I have also noticed that this seems to be something you have done before. I really hope nobody buys this off you, you absolute time waster.

I would just like to say guys, that I'm not just a random flamer, I was genuinely delighted and excited about getting this car. I have messages to prove the conversation between myself and this complete idiot. Steer clear from him, he is an absolute time-waster and quite clearly an idiot.

[kidgjc]

In fact, you know what, I'm going to post some of the conversation we had via eBay so people don't think that I'm just a trouble maker...

'hi there you won the auction iv driving the car tonight to give the cobwebs a blow off and a wash and hover where its been sitting for some reason the drivers drive shaft has started makeing some noise and needs a new drive shaft end still drives etc if you want the car let me know you can have it for £400 thanks'

Dear garwoodautos,

On further investigation I'm guessing I need the zetec drive-shaft, do you know what year the engine is? I just want to be sure I order the correct one!

Thanks again,

Gareth

Hi gareth the engine is a zetec engine running a s1 Rs turbo gearbox with a Cvh Rs turbo drive shaft a drive shaft should be £25 max sat would be fine but don't finish work till 6 ild be more then happy to pick you up from burgess hill train station cheers

I then questioned about whether this chap could tax the car for me and I would refund him the cost. He stated the following:

I'm afraid I'm working today and tomoz 7 am till 6pm so have no way of getting to the post office although I have driven it twice this month with out the car tax I could also drop it to yourself tonight for the charge of £30 that would cover my fuel many thanks

- garwoodautos

--------------------

He also provided me with a mobile number (which I'm more than happy to disclose should anybody need it) and we conversed via text about where I live and when the car would be delivered. I was informed that he would be free from 8:30pm on Friday night and would be able to get the car to me for 11pm that night (when I would have returned from work).

I informed him when I was leaving work and what time I would be back. I then text him saying when I was home, tried calling, no answer to texts or calls. I tried several times, waited up until gone 2am before giving up.

[kidgjc]

I have sent him a message on eBay requesting that he cancels the transaction several days ago, to which I have had no response, nor am I expecting one.

So here we are, a cowardly f*ckwit exposed. Buy this at your own risk.

As I said before, I'm not just some random flamer, this really did put me in a really bad position where I had one day to buy another car so I could get to work and be able to pay my bills. I do NOT appreciate being messed around like this and I'm sure either people wouldn't either.

I have been a regular browser of this site for the last 18 months at least, but haven't had the need to register up until now. I really don't want anybody else to be done over by this bloke like I was. Thank god I didn't pay over the internet for this thing.

The car is also on gumtree for £1050, located in New Milton, Bournemouth...

[hamps]

Shocking!

[kidgjc]

I feel bad for having signed up, only for my first posts to be so negative, but this guy is absolute scum of the earth. I'm really struggling to make ends meet and found myself in a position where I needed to get a new car reasonably quickly, and on an extremely tight budget. That £65 I lost could have gone towards my rent, which my landlord is now chasing for. People like this should have their legs broken, frankly. He's fine, he hasn't lost out at all, I'm the one who has had to suffer because of this curse word.

So yes, please be wary guys. It even appears that this bloke doesn't even know where he actually is, Burgess Hill near Brighton or New Milton, Bournemouth! Probably not a bad thing considering I'm in Brighton reasonably regularly.

always best to look at those 'positive' ratings first, as often they are the only way people can say what they really think.....

[Killbill]

This should be good!!
