Well I still have the car, the ebay buyer came to train station and I agreed to meet him, on way the car developed a battery warning light fault. At the station he insisted on test driving it, I thought round the block, so showed him the way, he says need to see what its like on motorway at speed. So I agree, off he goes, then not only did battery light come on, but ABS and Air Bag Light. Anyway as he was driving I repeated told him to slow down, as we where coming to speed camera lights, in the end the pulls in where I aint too sure about knowing my location and turns off the engine (battery light still lit). The car then does not start, prob cos battery light was on cos it was not being charged cupid stunt. he says fook the car, leave it in a side street where I dont know where I am, and get him a taxi to train station. Fook that I say, I ring my m8 and try to give directions, he will not give me back my keys, and insists I pay him £100 deposit back and his transport costs b4 I get my keys. I tell him to go fook himself, my m8 comes, and I say keys now, 2 choices, 1 you give me keys and I get car started and take you to train station, or 2 I take them off you and I will not ring for an ambulance. He takes the 1st option (sh*t). Anyway I gets car started with a jump start, on way to station he says he still wants car but not at agreed price, so we negotioate a £200 discount. At station he says go fill up with diesel, so at the fuel station he says nah I've changed me mind I dont want it. All this running around he has used £15 worth of diesel, so I put in £10 just to get me home. So again I take to train station, and again he wants more off, we agree then again he changes his mind. He demands his deposit back and his transfer costs. Fook off is my answer, he says he has family in Middlesbrough and they dont live too far from me, he is from Birmingham. I tell him, look bring to me who the fook you want, infact fook it, I'll send my boys to you as I know your address. Anyway he fooks off, few days later he claims his deposit back via paypal and they immediately agree, I've now sent paypal an email detailing what a bunch of wankstains I think they are. He still threatens to come "sort" me out lol bring it on muppet.
Anyway had he bought it, he would have got home ok.
The problem was the Alternator, so its been replaced.
The car is still in the local paper at £2,400 and will remain there for a few mths yet, then maybe I will put it back on ebay.
MOT is July 07, but I think getting it MOT'd early for 12mths will help in the sale, so I will do that soon.
