Hi Cobratwin,
Sorry mate I got so annoyed with this twit I deleted them. I don't lower myself to the level of a neanderthal for anybody and this guy was a plonker. Realistically I think he is just in it for as much as he can get out of it, does not care what he says to people, so long as he get's a sale. When I confronted him with the lie, he said "I thought they meant the code card", he was clearly asked if it had a red key and he said yes?? I don't mind anybody trying to make a few bob at car trading, but I think he is taking the mick when he adds on £2.5K to the price he paid, now he is reducing the car a bit as he wants his money back and is struggling.
If you are interested in the car with that high mileage, it is worth what you think it is. He has an auto decline at £13K or under, so if you are happy paying £13K, offer that, or £13,001. Remember you will need tyres!!
Originally he told me he might accept £13.5, that's a £1500 bonus for driving it to Glasgow.
Best of luck with your decision.
Cheers
