you have got to be joking

Post by blueorb »

Went to look at a car yesterday at this place http://www.japsportsltd.co.uk/

They have a low mileage black mr2 gt. However, despite assurance that it was a minter, the car had been repaired/sprayed at the front end at some point (Bonnet/both wings and vallance)Poor job) The sales rep replies "No mate thats not been damaged, never, its hpi clear" Also, engine noisy and fan belt squeeking. I was assured that this car had just been serviced with a cam belt change. So where is the receipt for work done mr sales rep? "Oh we dont have any receipts, but the work has been done!" Yeah right!
So what warranty do you give with the car? says I, "Oh we dont do warranties, customers prefer not to have them. Not worth the paper they are written on." WHAT????

Avoid these jokers like the plauge!

Anyone else had the privilage?

I've just had a look on that site... to be honest, they all look like dogs just from there. The fact that half the spelling is incorrect doesn't do anything to endear them to me either.

They also reckon that a bmw m5 is a 3500cc engine?

I thought that they were 3800cc

Was this the car you was talking about that had the front end damage? Its advertised as a K plate. This would make it a Rev 2 but if you look at the front youll see it has a Rev 1 splitter. :roll: Theres something not right about that!!

Front page of their website:

"Finance & Warranties can be arranged"

Obviously Johnny Vegas hasnt been looking at his own webpage if he didnt offer you a warrenty
