Disappointed

I dealt with this person on an eBay listing for a Holden Suburban. The seller was quick to tell me that it wasn't the sort of vehicle he would usually sell but was doing it as a favour for his mechanic.

When I got to the vehicle it was nowhere near as described and not worth nearly as much as had been bid.

I was shocked that a dealer, even if selling a car on another person’s behalf, would not check things like the lights (which were earthed and illegal), ABS (which was knackered) and a passenger door that would not open. Those were just the MAJOR problems that were not mentioned on the listing.

I'd also paid a deposit of £300 directly to the mechanic which I now am struggling to get back.

If you are intent on doing business with Mather Collectables then go over the vehicle with a fine tooth comb because if the checks on the premium range of vehicles is a s lax as the cheaper stuff then you could be in for some real long term issues.
