Result of doodling on Ebay

:hgf: what a pity hope it all works out OK

:bang:

fingers crossed that this will not be a long and painful process...

Please keep us updated.

I'd've kept it. £423 for an 03 with 9 months test on it ain't bad,

Factor in a couple of hundred for a pump and new belts and it's still a decent cheap car.

Frustrating.

Fitted you are looking nearer to £500 fitted for a KV6.

Still a cheap car.

As the seller wasn't in when I dumped the car back I was in a bit of a cleft stick.
Leaving the car + docs, & key meant he had the cash + the car back :dry:
Had no choice really as I had a 5 hour train journey back home but hoped he was an upfront guy & I would get a cheque for my lolly.
Fat chance. Had a long ebay message basically telling me to p*ss off & I was the new owner & he was posting back the docs.& key. Basically said it was bought as seen on an auction site stating no returns.
Although it did say on the item description that a mechanic had looked it over & said no problems, it is not worth the expense & hassle of going down the legal route.
So I have 2 choices. Either get it repaired or scrap it.
Waiting for a cost of replacing w/pump from MG Rover mechanics but I know it's a pig of a job.
If I scrap it I will keep the the new wheels & tyres & sell them on.
To be continued.

Oh well. Not everyone's like that on eBay.

You should easy make your money back on it even with the poorly engine.

Yeah Andy,but its in Congleton at the sellers address so I need to do some thing about it :yesnod:

So how far away is it?
Is there a T- bar member based near by that might be able to help out in some way?
Does anyone here know of a good mechanic in that area who'd be able to give a sensible quote?

Sadly, I did fear the worst re. getting your money back.
Have you tried complaining to EBay? Probably a waste of time but you never know.:shrug:

PM sent.

Have you asked on the owners club to see if anyone can help out.

We have a number of traders in the North West who may be able to help out
