picking up new car wednesday - any advice?

[Saint Steve]

They're getting the stone chips sorted this weekend, and refurbing the kerbed alloys for me aswell
I would have got the exhaust, but I've promised myself this time I'm sticking to a remap and a headunit!
I've spent about £10,000 in bits on my mk4, and will be lucky to get £6000 for the car as it stands.
See how I go with resisting to mod it too much :scared:

Best leave now fella  . You have been warned

It was too good to be true.....................
5hr journey to find its had the full passenger side resprayed BADLY. I could have sprayed better than that, and I'm not a spray painter! there was ever a glob of laquer dripping off the fender, and it was a rental car not a lease car, registered to easirent, how easy would that be to sell on!
Oh well, back on the hunt for an edition 30 again...............................

Bad luck there fella, things that look to good to be true, generally are..............I would have got the seller to cough up some readies for fuel and your wasted time...........cheeky b'std!

11 hour round trip, I was well pleased...........

Was that at a vw dealership??

[heavyd]

I saw that last week - I remember thinking...Bargain! But it had 'sold - deposit taken' when I clicked on the advert.

Sucks man, sorry to hear about that wasted journey - so you mean it was rented out to all and sundry being a rental car? Was it a CAT D or anything?

[heavyd]

wasnt a cat-d, but somehow they had no idea of how and when it was painted!
yep, it was my deposit, of which they decided not to charge to my card!
