Fiat 126 BIS on Pre-Loved. AVOID

[Kent126]

Hi,
  There is a white Fiat 126 bis for sale on pre-loved in Stoke on Trent. Here is the advert;

http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/108062908/fiat-126-for-sale.html

AVOID THIS CAR AT ALL COSTS

Myself and Ladislav travelled 8 hours round trip, after renting a van and spending loads on fuel to go and view it. The seller told us over the phone that it was 'solid and needed no welding whatsoever'.

The advert describes the car as 'a lovely car' that is running and just needs a new battery.

After eventually finding this farm in the middle of no-where, we were mortified at what we both found.

The car can only be described as the worst fiat 126 I have ever seen. It is a complete rot box, filthy dirty and has been clearly driven around the farm when it was running. The sills are rotten, the underneath is rotten the battery tray doesnt exist as it has rotted away, the tyres are all flat and now ruined and this car is not even worth buying for spares it is that bad!

After explaining our disgust at how the car has been advertised and getting the deposit back, the car has been re-listed as soon as we left exactly the same. This seller is clearly trying it on, and I have reported the advert to pre-loved and sent her an email.

I do not want anyone else wasting time or money going to even look at this car.

Ohh, Tom....I'm gutted that you didn't buy it....it's the duty of every club member to rescue any car called ''FeFe'' from it's owner...

 Well I`m normally a very reserved person, but after a four hour trip when I saw this car I wasn`t a happy man to say the least.
 It`s just shocking that people are happy to lie at all cost and don`t give x@%&.

Doesn't look too bad from the picture does it, couldn't have been worst than my bis

It had been driven round a field by the amount of soil that came out of it

Were you going to get it in the van ?

[Kent126]

Honestly, I can't explain to you how bad it was! The picture has been taken at that angle to disguise how rotten it is. I really wish I had taken photos of it now.

It was going to go in the back of the van.

That is disgraceful I would have gone mental

After officially complaining to pre-loved, it appears that the advert has been removed.

If it re-appears hopefully it will be more 'honest'.

I could not write what I think of low life people who do that
