Just been speaking to sales person and getting a price on my car as a trade in against this (http://www.themotorhouse.co.uk/car_details.aspx?vid=33225) booked the day off tomorrow to go for a test drive and got email 30 mins later saying sorry it's just been sold.
Seemed a good price to me and worth overstretching my budget for.
It had 72k on the clock.. anyone else think it was a Barge Inn ?
-
Does look very cheap for an Ed30, altho the pics dont show it close up enough for an idea of the full spec... Altho can see it has no parking sensors, no xenons, mileage is pretty high as well and for me personally..... its got too many doors lol
Wonder why its as cheap as it is, there must be a reason for it to be out of line with other Ed30's surely :popcornsoda:
-
that seems well too cheap to me
-
Glad they've removed it to stop tormented me.. it was £10,450 in case anyone cares and looked a bit like THIS (http://pistonheads.com/sales/1998378.htm) one on pheads.. wonder if it's the same one and someones trying to make a quick buck :surprised: same mileage !!
-
this is exactly wots prolly happend it happend 2 me there was a white 1 up for sale at 19,000 rang up and they sed it was sold then see it a week later up for 21,995 :laugh:
-
See they haven't removed it from AT yet... CLICKY HERE (http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201033366193583)
Doesn't look like the same one as the rear windows don't look soo tinted.
-
if its the motorhouse check its not an import as thats how they made their name

Emailed the guy on Pheads and got the reg and sure enough it is the same car :fighting: :fighting: cheeky get trying to make a fast G if only I was a bit quicker off the mark :sad1:

Not sure if anyone is reading this or I'm talking to myself but....
I sent a cheeky email to the lady I was dealing with saying looks like that car is up for sale already with a link to it on Pheads... within mins I got a call from her telling me I must be mistaken as the car is still sat on the forecourt in front of her now... I did think that the car on Pheads had more tinited windows on the back, thus this suggests the car in the pic isn't the actual car... I replied and said he is selling the same car as the number plates match... she replied how do you know what the number plate was as I never told you... I replied you can see it in the photo (obviously they should be more careful when taking the photos and putting them on there site if they don't want people to see them) and it matches the number the seller gave me... she replied so what is it then (guess she didn't believe me) so gave her the plate... silence.. then ok seems like this guy is fraudulently trying to sell our car then as the person buying the car a)hasn't picked it up and b) has a different name to the bloke selling the car on Pheads....
Interesting.. well I thought it was anyway... hope she updates me on what the outcome is.. she said she'd give me 1st refusal if it fell through.. not sure it'll be at the same price though !

God I'm good... think I've found where he's got the pics from

This all seems incredibly dodgy. Buying a car is such a pain in the arse sometimes.
-
Blimey I think I'm lost now....they also have no obvious idea as to what the Luxury and Winter Packs contain either... :laugh:

Well spotted! :happy2:
I think the the person buying the car must be the same person who is selling it on, just using a different name incase of any suspicions. Obviously he hasn't picked the car up yet but has stolen somebody else's pics to advertise it for the meanwhile...
Be interesting to hear his reply when someone asks to view the car... :grin:
-
want some more?
Lady just called me again saying that the guy has just turned up and it is the guy selling it on Pheads (sounds like you were right Mandy) so I bet he wondered what the hell when they started quizzing him about his pheads advert :signLOL: anyway I can only assume he paid a deposit over the phone yesterday to hold the car as it seems he hasn't bought it yet.. the lady said that he has got until 4pm today to decide.. the guy admitted he is merely buying it to sell straight on for a profit and is making some calls now to perspective buyers (garages maybe?) before he lets her know whether he wants it.
So I might be getting a call at 4 asking if I want it... and she said it will be at the 10,495 price :smiley:
-
Guess what :pomppomp: :driver: :pomppomp:
several phone calls later and deposit down... :laugh:
The manager at motorhouse was not a happy bunny with all the shenanigans going on with the pheads bloke and when the guy insisted on taking the car and V5 away now he refused saying this is not how we work we do 120 point checks, valet etc.. before we let it go and we don't sell to traders so here's yer deposit back now pee off.... So Ive put a holding deposit down which holds it for 2 weeks so will be heading up there on Saturday to check it out...
So in answer to the subject of this thread ME (if all is good)
-
Result! :happy2:
:pomppomp: :congrats: :pomppomp:
-
Nice one! :congrats:
-
:congrats: cheap car you got :congrats:
-
Way to go.... :notworthy:
Don't forget if it's okay....
:worthless:
-
Good work man, you got a bargain there :happy2:

So in summary since all the links are away now, some chancer saw a cheap eddie at Motorhouse (£10,495?) and was trying to sell it as his own on ph? For how much? Jeesh. Risky biscuits.
Congrats mate get some pics up asap. And well done for thwarting this muppet.

To summarise as the links have gone Motorhouse had it up for £10495 he put down a holding deposit and posted it up on ph for £11695 having not seen it or paid for it.. he used pics from another pheads advert (which I must confess I reported him for and ph removed the ad :oops:) trying to sell the car as his own. Motorhouse manager was very unimpressed by this and returned his deposit. He then gave me a call asking if I still wanted it at the £10495 price. I'll post some pics on a new thread now as I want to get as much info from you guys as I can before I go to see it on Saturday as my knowledge of the MK5 isn't that great and the Edition 30 even less as never even dreamt I'd be in the market fo one.
Here it is...

What a plonker that other bloke is - really! Anyway, all's well that ends well. I hope you enjoy your new car mate. Looks nice :happy2:
-
What a beautiful car... well done mate. Very happy for you... now remember, its only 300-400 pounds more for 270/80 bhp and a very fast car indeed :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
-
:congrats: Welll done mate!

:congrats:
Wow if I thought I could get a 5 door Eddie for that money I'd maybe sell mine and grab one....though what it means for the value of mine is not worth thinking about.... :sad1:
