Thread: That was a waste of time.

I left Yesterday morning at 6:00 AM and towed my Series from my place to Wodonga to meet a bloke and his son who had 'bought' it as per the ad I had posted in the markets here ($100 deposit paid into my bank). When I met them, the bloke checked it out, and told me that my ad stated it was a 1966 IIA (which is what it was advertised and registered as when I bought it six years ago), when he cleaned the spring hanger with sandpaper and a rag it came up as a 1960 Series II (which was confirmed by a thread I made that day). (It says 143000968)



After a bit of discussion he said that'd I'd made a very severe misrepresentation and because of that I should let him take it without paying the balance of $700. I said I wouldn't accept $100 for the car and wouldn't be returning the deposit because I'd towed it 150 km to meet him (and that was why I asked for a deposit to be paid straight away in the first bloody place).

Parting words were that he was going to report it to the police, though I haven't heard a word and can't see why I'd be in any trouble - I clearly said in my emails if I met them halfway I wanted a deposit of $100.






PS. On a completely different note, I went for a bit of a drive after I got back to calm down, I reckon Strathbogie shire has got to be the best part of Victoria. I try and live up here as often as possible, house overlooks this


near here


and here



Spent the 100 on diesel, bundy and lunch

What a twit!

Wrong year or not, what difference does it make?!

It's not like a Series II is worth any less than a IIA!


I would have bought it off you months ago if it were in NSW.

Keep at it. She'll sell.
