  1. The car is in the hands of a rotary specialist. The front rotor has lost all compression. It was too low it wouldn't take readings. Plus the rear was different than what I was told. That's all I know..
  2. The seller wanted to break the car as to him it was worth more in parts as is any modded Japanese car. I should soon receive a copy in the post going off his reply.. Ill let you know what it says
  3. Yup... Thanks for the link... So going off what you have read. What are your thoughts? He sounds pretty confident..
  4. I've already written recorded letters. My 2nd, Final Letter LBA was sent Yesterday Morning. As i had no reply to the 1st letter..
  5. esperformance.co.uk/car_RX7-Twin-Turbo-'Type-R'--Mazda_190_0_index. php Delete the spaces and add w w w to the beginning. Thanks No documentation of rebuild, nor does it say when comp test was done. He told me hes been using it as a daily.
  6. I had to pay for these on top of the purchase price...
  7. Hi there, I first shown interest 28th Feb, and i sent him an email on 3rd asking, would he accept 5000. He said Yes. So we both arranged a date to pick up. Sat 17th. Mainly due to work commitments. 4th, 6th and 7th March -Next few emails i sent weren't replied to. One asking him to leave a deposit and a few questions. I waited for a reply, and 3 days later, the ebay ad was removed and same on his site so i rang him to see what the crack was as i never had any replys from my mails.. He said he never got any response so he took the car in to get broken at his local garage.. I wasnt to happy to be honest as the wife and i had already booked a bank appointment to withdraw cash and already started to withdraw amounts out daily. I did think this was abit suspicious at first as we had already booked the day to pick up if all was ok. But seeing as he was a decent guy and well known on a forum, i believed him. He said he didn't receive any of the mails and they appeared in his box with a phishing warning. I told him i wasnt happy on the phone, 7th and explained why. Due to getting cash and appointment and date was booked off work to pick up. And the fact i really wanted the car. He told me to wait 3 days so he can ring to guy up who was breaking the car and see if he could put it back together. He said, wheels and bonnet were already off. Didnt understand why it would take so long, but now in the back off my mind i think it was to sort an underlying issue. ??! He rang me back on the 10th saying that she back together and ready to pick up. So my next email was a Thankyou and ask how much tax and mot. There was neither for both but seeing as it was at his garage he sorted me out an MOT and 6months tax at extra cost. Picked up on the 17th, 5hr drive home at 50/60mph. Garaged till 20th as i was going to take to work in the morning so went to the petrol station. The engine gave up on the way back as soon as i gave it a little bit of throttle. The car isnt as described also. I tried to post advert but cant post links?? On a better inspection on the 21st, when specialists came to pick the car up at a cost of £100 the car, i noticed the car is missing bits of interior. Alarm doesn't work, gauges dont work, Paintwork isnt as he made out to be. Fair few tatty, and broken bits of interior plastic. CD player is broken, non smokers car but ash and burn are there. I think ive covered my side.. Any more questions? Invoice says nothing about warranty or anything.. But he did make me sign another piece of paper, which i cant remember what it said. He never gave me a copy He mentioned in the advert the car needs no money spending, nor does it need repairs.... Yea right...
  8. If the car blew up after a few months of useage, id still be ****ed but id take it on the chin. The fact it was the 2nd outing i feel ive been had over. I paid £5k and had a quote of a rebuild for £3k approx.. Hes apparently sent me it in the post. I didn't know it was a motor trade rule or whatever. I believed it was a no warranty slip as that is what he said when i signed it. The seller is telling the truth bar these. I think hes trying to call my bluff...
  9. 2/3 weeks ago I bought a car from a trader, and the 2nd time i took it out the engine blew. The first time was the 5 hr drive home which was a steady 50/60 mph due to keep fuel costs to a minimum. The 2nd time was a 20 minute drive to a petrol station and it blew as soon as i gave it a little throttle.. This was all within 3 days of purchase The seller wants nothing to do with it and heres one of his replies... I have written 2 letters, and now seeking legal action.. Now i know selling as a trade sale is against the law, and im a consumer so the rights still stand. Just wanted to know what you guys think
