View Full Version : I sold a car to a ****ing Gob****e
My old Cav Turbo Rep as loved by many.....
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y92/Dods1/29062009001.jpg
A Nice clean GSi2000 with the Turbo gear including the 5 stud stuff, Leather and lights. A Real good going machine at that.
It was sold to a lad that never even viewed it, his mates had seen it and told him it was mint, and it was bar maybe €100 worth or work to have it tested.
As the lad had lost his licence (Alarm Bells started ringing) he asked me to deliver it for the full asking price, he lives 80mins from me so after getting name address and lots of contact details I agreed. €2200 for a GSi Cav with no tax or test, fine by me!!
Every now and then he'd ring spouting bull**** like "I got a HKS Crank for it" lol and "I had it at 150mph last night and beat an Evo 9 with it", he even apparantly had an F25 in it because the F20 couldn't handle the power from the Cos Cast ported and polished head, again bull****.
So I got a message through another forum saying the car is in bits, billowing smoke and basically driven the **** out. Not nice when I consider how much I loved the car.
Seemingly its been swapped last week for a Sierra GT, seriously, I am abxolutely livid at the thought. I'm trying to track it down so I can buy it back.
IMO once you sell a car, you should never buy it back.
If you loved it that much, why did you sell it then?

Raging dod mate!! Shame as it looked at tidy machine. Defo try and get her back on the road fella:thumb:

That's sh!t mate if true mate. It's a shame you are attached to the car, otherwise that would have been a good few easy quid. I understand how you feel though, had that been one of my cars that I cared for then I would feel the same! I guess it was one of those situations where you know you have to get rid of some cars and don't mind as long as they go into good care?
If he does want to sell it back I wonder what you will be getting. I doubt he will sell for much less than he paid even though by the sounds of it it's lost a fair bit of value in this short time.
What's a Sierra GT, an XR4X4?
I sold it as I didn't need it and I was offered big money for it which was needed elsewhere.
Joe, I'm going to do my best. It should come at bad money since its in such a bad way so it'll be a nice machine to throw a few bits into and bang on again.
Liam, it was a 2.0 Twin Cam as far as I know, so realisticially, a €500 ****ter.

Some things you don't realise how much it means to you until you get rid. I sold my nova and regretted it badly, i was so lucky i had the chance to buy it back (well my mate had to pretend it was for him lol), even though it was in such a state.
Good luck getting it back, it really did look and sound like a nice car.
i'm just trying to work out what a dancing gobbiere is???? and why he is so rough on a car...that he owns outright......

What?
It was a near mint car although it had a little rust on the drivers floor the size of ciggie packet. Even the tester commented on how rare it is to A) see one and B) in as good a shape as this way.

Why would you want it back after all that??
Text him to tell him he's a complete charver scumbag, he doesnt even deserve a Datsun Cherry until he learns how to treat a car, in the mean time fu*k off & never contact you again. You dont care about his insistant dreaming & bollerx.
he doesnt even deserve a Datsun Cherry.
Depends on the model! lol
Swapping that for a Sierra with a few hundred is a bit stupid I agree mate.
Hope you have some luck. :thumb: Here's hoping it doesn't turn up on Youtube in one of the hood videos!

just hazzared a guess,ive been there a few times there inbred knackers that dont care about their cars or the way they drive them,
but its just that part of donegal ive noticed
He doesn't even have a valid licence!!
I want the car back because I have everything and I mean everything it would need to leave mint on the shelf so to speak, not to mention I'm breaking 2x GSi Cavs, one the same colour at the minute.
Tis a shame but you have to wave bye to the car and pocket the cash lol. I sold my second cav 4x4 to a dude who took it top end flat out on the test drive - dont think that will have lived a long and pampered life!
its going to be screwed.... seriously, DONT DO IT!!
ok, so this idiot has not got a valid licence..... send the gardai a tip off.... get the fool off the road, then offer him sympathy & 50% of what he paid you

edited because if the engine is that fecked, then the chassis is most likely to be bollocksed too

the people in that end of the country dont care for the law and i dont think the law cares for them,would be a complete waist of time informing the gardai.......if the gaurds were to do sumting im sure he would be back on the road the next day causing havoc
/\ As above, the Gardai often suffer beatings and rammings so stay well clear.
As for the Chassis, its a GSI and is very solid so it should be alright, nothing new arms, shocks and springs wont sort, all of which I have. The car will find its way back as they always usually do, but with a ****ed engine it'll only be worth about €500 which is about 20% of its value.
I dont get it, you sold it.
If you loved it that much you should never have let it go. Or alternatively if you did care that much about what happened to it afterwards you should have sold it to a proper enthusiast, not just some randomer. Simplez. :)
^ exactly. You sold the car for an amount you were happy with, whats the problem?
I ditched my old hatchback for a grand, which was a good price (from my angle :d) and afaik it lasted at best a month or two til the new owner crashed it. Twice. lol
Again, I needed money and I got a lot for it.
He also said he'd be rebuilding it during the summer, not chavving round the country in it. If I'd have known he was going to then that would have affected my decision.

Quit yer bitching then, its gone, move on.
Think yourself lucky I didn't buy it, cos the engine would have been on the floor before you could say 'Where's the Nova'? and I would probably have jumped up and down on the roof and sent the pics to spudders before this chav would have managed to even perform a half decent handbrake turn lol
You nasty mean evil little man^^^^ :cry:
Think yourself lucky I didn't buy it, cos the engine would have been strewn all over Avon Rise
EFA
Lee, your Stuart style reply has failed to amuse me.
It was a nice car, I had to sell it, its not being treated right and I'm annoyed at that fact.

bit harsh no???
i once sold a combo nutin special i no but it was the most reliable thing ive ever owned,two days after i sold it i get a txt sayin it was now a pile of ash....
regreted selling it then only sold due to lack of space

Life sucks.
I had to sell mine, but at least you could wave goodbye to it in one piece, I had to take a spanner to mine right when I was finally happy with it, and dismantle every last bit i had lovingly built up over the previous two years.
I was annoyed that I had to get rid, but if I had sold it in one piece and it was instantly stacked into a wall, I still wouldn't be the owner, so it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference to me.
Sounds more like you're annoyed with yourself for selling it in the first place rather than the fact the next owner misstreated it?
bit harsh no???
Not really.
I dont particularly like cavs. They're just doner cars to me :)

I love Cavs though and it was a particularly nice one I had the way I wanted it.
I suppose I am annoyed I sold it but I'm more annoyed that its being distroyed.

Why the **** did you do that? If it was a Manta A or GTE you're a big fag goot :cry:
You know how when some folks own cars you then hate the car (much like a load of you must hate vx220's lol), and it would be uber silly fun to watch him cry when crushing any for of munta
Mantas ftl, Asconas FTW.
BTW Stu, vids or you're a liar.

Agreed.
He paid, he had, he broke.

No one is disputing that, I'm just annoyed he did break it.

There maybe an underlying reason.
Good cars normally dont get broken.
