What 2do With This Prick Possible Forum Member

[arabian_drifter]

hey every1

im posting this on behalf of a close mate , which recently has been ripped of by a possible forum member .

the story is as follow

On the 12/5/09 Barthnolomew Gaszewksi sold me a Mazda 323 ss Familia Turbo. We purchased this car off his ebay account power_fit , which he specializes in used tyres , and drift tyres etc etc . When we went to look at the car inspect it ect.

He told us there where no defects on the car and he even signed a letter saying if defects found on the car that he would return the money.

One week passed by and we went to put the car into our name, as we got to the RTA they told us that the car has various defects on it and rego as been cancelled till the defects are cleared and sorted. We now tried to call him and notify him of what the RTA had told us.

He believes he did not get any of the FIVE letters EPA and the RTA sent to him and saying he does not know about any defects .

after trying countless times to contact him , we finally get threw to him , because i really wanted to keep the car , so i wanted 2 sort out all the problems with the car .he told me he had no idea about the defects this and that he then promised me , he would pay 4 this and pay 4 that , and that he had friends that could fix it for 200bux etc etc , heard all the stories and excuses under the sun , but no results , then it gets better , he turned off his phone and did not aswer any of my phone calls or reply 2 any of my msgs

The RTA told me that the defects happend in his name on November 08 and the rego go cancelled in march 09

I did a bit of research into it and alot of stuffed turned up on him.

Like he did'nt change his adress with the RTA , he did recieve all the defect notices , which he ignored them , hence sellin the car cheap ect.

I continued to messege him stating that i would like full refund back on the car, He messeges me back saying, that the address where he we picked up the car from

was his mates place where he stores all his stuff and that he is Brisbane for 4weeks on a work trip but when i bought the car he told me he does not have a job.

Me and one of my friends decided to go to the adress where i picked the car up from, we found out that he lives there, he does't work, he lives with with his perents

and that he is still in SYD, he was just trying get his way out of it and think the problem would just go away , its now clear that he obviously new there where defects on the car when he sold it .

I have been to Fair Trading, Police, Legal aid none of them can help me out because it is a cival matter.

That night i went to his house we got pulled over by under marked high way patrol Police office and he told us that the car is full defected and he told us the correct address

of Barthnolomew Gaszewksi . The Police office also gave me other solutions i could do to get my money back.

Ive have just come back from the court to fill out a Trade Rights aplication and deliver it to his house and he has 28days to show up other wise he gets arested and held in

custodyuntil court date. which they told me

so in the meantime now , im stuck with a completed defected car , with cancelled rego , and a prick of a seller runnin away from me .

any 1 no this guy? apparently he used 2 own and drift a white s14 , lives in the collaroy area . and sells tyres and bike stuff on ebay under seller name power_fit .

please be aware of this dishonest prick

any help ideas or answers on this topic would be greatly appreciated .

thanks for reading this essay loll

didnt you check the rego status before buying????

[Iron Chef]

didnt you check the rego status before buying????

My thoughts exactly.

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

he may be a dishonest prick but ur an idiot for not checking the car out in a suffecient matter,

i know what u r going thru as i have also been f**ked over by someone by buying an r32 gtr that was uncomplied and had actually been written off.

u cant trust no one in this world mate triple check everything.

even if they do lock him up u still probs wont get ur money back u know that right might as well start getting it all fixed up

[arabian_drifter]

My thoughts exactly.

well he did a revs check , but nothing came up at all .

apparently it doesnt show the cars defect state if its unregistered .

i didnt buy this car

my friend did , his only 16 and its his 1'st car , so thats y i want to see what other ideas ppl have , and ill take it from there .

the guy new it was defectable 100% , his just slimey and took advantage of a kid

You need to purchase a certificate of registered security interest for the car - not just check it. When you get this certificate for the car you can then use that against your RTA and it should guarantee you immunity from financing, write offs, defects or any other negative status already attached to the vehicle - provided you purchase the car within 24 hours of obtaining the certificate. That's how it is in Victoria anyway.

[Iron Chef]

If it's anything like SA (and I presumed this would be the case Australia wide) a car cannot transfer ownership until the defect is cleared.

Regardless, the only way to deal with it now is through the Small Claims Tribunal in your state. After that, your mate is pretty much screwed, although he will have learnt his first lesson - if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is...

[R31Nismoid]

well he did a revs check , but nothing came up at all .

It does if you check with the VIN/Chassis #

You should never check with the rego... To be honest, its no-ones problem but your own.

Responsibility of the BUYER is to check BEFORE purchase and (best of my knowledge) the RTA or whatever body will give you a print out/notification that there are ZERO issues for future reference.

At least they do here in Vic when you run a check against the VIN!!!!

[Birds]

For Victorian members, when purchasing a car you can do an online check via the Vicroads website based on their registration alone. However, you need to purchase a certificate if you want the information to be guaranteed.

[seamonsta]

Should have REVS (Register of Encumbered Vehicles) checked it bud. If he has signed a document stating he will give your money back I would seek legal advice and have a solicitor write a letter of demand for your money back, may not be enforceable if he denies signing it, but a legal letter will soon let you see if he is a proper shonk or not. If he tells you to piss off then he has probably done it before and knows just as much about the law and how to get away with this type of rip off than your solicitor. Also, not a good idea to say on a public forum that a police officer has given you this guys current address, they can get in serious trouble for doing you a favour like that. Good luck with it.

[Birds]

Yeah could a moderator please clean up the part about the address / police officer? I once had a hit and run done on me, officer couldn't give me their address because of privacy act (despite having the information on screen) and consequently they got away with it. Wouldn't like to see these kind of favours discouraged in anyway...

Did this guy also take advantage of a kid by selling him a car he can only drive for a year, and then he'd have to sell it or stick it in storage for 3?

[QUICKY]

mate if ur in sydney and its not an epa defect , as in u just need a blue slip done, PM me, might be able to help ya out

I guess thats why you dont buy cars off ebay and check them properly. Buyer beware!
