Being screw*d on a car deal.
Its a shame in this day an age that a gentlemans agreement on the sale of a car seems to be worthless especially when the seller of the car looks like he is a respected member of this forum.
I refer to the sale of this car and its owner Lou:

Quite frankly I don't care how many of you flame me for what I am about to say or if the post gets removed, I feel I am making a fair and valid point.
I went with a friend on his behalf to look at this car on Wednesday night driving from Alconbury to Northampton to do so.
After having a long chat with the owner and having a good look over the car my friend who was interested in purchasing the car asked if it would be ok if he could give Lou an answer regaring the purchase the following day after running an HPI check. Lou agreed to this telling us the car had some outstanding finance but everything else on the HPI check should be clear.
The next morning (Thursday) my friend ran the HPI check at a cost of

I think that this is potentially libellous if proven to be untrue.

All respect to you nattcharles.
I hope this post is not deleted, as we all have to be reminded that this kind of thing goes on, so we should take every precaution before doing so.
Unfortunetly the world is going that way, and the old gentlemanly conduct is slowly going out the window. I am sorry to hear this happened, and really hope that you find the perfect car.
Best of luck.

I'm not entirely sure this is the best place for such an issue - so far we've only heard one side of the story and I have a feeling this will just end up as a slagging match with each person thinking they know best!

I believe we've always had a name and shame on here for sellers and buyers on the site so if the guy is correct I think he has every right to post it. I'm sure Lou will be along to post his side.
It is not for anyone else to get involved in a slanging match.

I suggest Lou is prompted to post his side, and then the thread closed for people to view.
no one else should get involved.
