Thanks for the support, Plank, I appreciate it. Its not nice, but that's buying cases from you. I would have bought an honest car, but after reading the history and spotting the mileage discrepancy, I decided its not the project I'm after. To be honest, I knew eBay quite well, the guy will get any fees back, and at worse, I'll get a negative mark on my account.

Looking at my feedback, anyone can see I'm a good buyer, so I'm not worried, this is a one off and has only happened after new information being brought to light.

Good decision. When you get neg feedback I'd be making a call to report this mileage discrepency.
Plank has given you some excellent support and I think we will all hold him in high regard after this. David.

A seller can not leave a buyer bad feedback anymore! so don't worry about it, he is a low feedback seller who has a lot to learn about writing an honest listing. I have getting on for 900 points and 100% positive feedback, so speaking from experience I would just let this go now and move on.

Thanks for the thanks

Surely a speedo has to work for MOT?. Very dodgy, good descision.

Exactly what I was going to say, Rick

yup, i read that for the MOT, the speedo doesnt have to work (because they dont drive it for the MOT) BUT, i believe legally, you are obliged to have a working speedo.....!

thanks for the support guys, I did feel bad about the last minute bid then grilling him for info, but i think i have also exposed either a genuine novice, or someone trying to get rid of a problem vehicle for more than scrap value...

its all sorted now. he did try to get £40 out of me for his fees etc, i told him no chance, but then ebay said i need to mail him and say do a mutual withdrawl case, so he did, now all sorted!
