Bought it. Bit above budget but it seems alright. It's nicer than the shed she was driving and she's happy. Plus 3 months warranty.

unfortunately not, the folk that own the land are gonna level it and build a whole new showroom/workshop/etc for the Jag dealership, most of the staff have moved to the Jag dealers as well. Seat are now in with Fish Brothers I think.

Er guys, have I been a dick over this?

Need a car for my mum, very limited budget £1000. Thought I may as well go private.

Found a Polo for £700, with MOT. Rang guy and paid £100 deposit to secure it. He's selling on behalf of daughter's boyfriend who has gone travelling with his daughter.
Then get text to meet at restaurant he's renovating to collect as space at his house parking is limited. I get worried at this point, getting car...at public place...
Tells me I can go into the restaurant if it is a problem.
Finally says I can go to his house to get him to go to restaurant to get car. But at this point I pull out.

He's probably genuine. But it didn't sit right. Says he'll refund me tomorrow (so probably was genuine all along).

I've been a cautious dick, haven't I

Not necessarily.

I went for a test drive in a Renault 5 (yes) many years ago. It was parked in an alleyway in Wroughton with a for sale sign and phone number. Guy turned up after 5 minutes, "documents are on their way from dvla, I took in part exchange blah blah". Needless to say he did not get a sale.

It may well be legit, but you have every right to be cautious.

I’m looking for a smallish van if anyone can help. Ideally with a roof rack and pipe tube. I reserve the right to get a garage inspection at my cost of course. Being picky i’d Prefer not white.
