Student finance weren't going to give me a loan for my final year of university. I sold the Golf and two weeks after they said they were going to give me a loan. I had an MX-5 as a stop gap, then sold that and got the Type R. Thanks for all the replies guys. The guy seemed to know these cars very well. He looked around the car well, he looked for dents/defects in the body, he said the front end had a respray which I was unaware of. He looked under the bonnet, said the engine was very good. He asked me to take him for a drive. I took him for a spin. He said he had a traders policy and asked to drive the car. I said yes, then when he was finished, he said to swap back over. As I got out the car, he got out, as I was behind the car, he jumped back in and drove off. It all happened so quickly. He spoke very professionally, thought he was genuinely interested as he was asking a lot about the car, he knew a lot about Type R's and was saying he had a DC5 previously but it got written off. Police were saying this happens all the time. He was an asian guy, about 6 ft roughly, skinny guy, was wearing a baseball cap. He was wearing gloves. Had a jaw strap kind of beard.
every sellers nightmare. I hope it turns up soon for you.
