Small rant from me.

Contact a guy in Melbourne re. buying his GTR and a deal is struck.

Sent of $1K deposit as a show of good faith and tell him I will be there Wednesday10th.

Rings me today and says that unless I can get there before Saturday he is selling the car for $500 more to a guy coming from Sydney.

I had already booked tickets etc to fly there from Adelaide and reiterated that he was happy with the price 4 days prior and that the guy from Sydney had sent nothing except promises.

All to no avail. He promised to send the deposit back which I should get Friday.

Thing that shits me is I thought that once a price was agreed and a deposit paid , the deal was done and this is how I have always conducted my business.

Bloody annoying !!!

So anyone know of any worked GTR's in Melbourne around $30K

* Rant off*

Cheers

Ken

If it went to court along with the email printouts , I may have a bit of a case but the only winners are the lawyers.

No , I will just write it off as a bad experience. Mind you , if the deposit does not get returned , I have the plane ticket and I know where he works....

Cheers

As said by Streamer, the guy is locked into the sale once a deposit is laid. That's the point in a deposit.

I heard through secondary sources that something exactly the same happened recently in our own lovely Perth, went to court and some reimbursement was settled, covering court costs too.

Was it with anyone on this forum?

Sorry to hear mate!

    • Nah, you failed to pay your washer cover subscription and BMW have revoked your access.
    • Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.     
    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
