Big let down I'm gutted

macafee2 · 24th March 2018, 12:50

I bought a car of a member, paid for it. Arranged collection and transportation for today.

Had an email from truck driver that was going to collect the car, his clutch has failed.

I was so looking forward to having my "new" car today.

Now at best it will be 9 days before I see the car as I cant do any day before then.

Gutted really gutted. I need chocolate!

Gutted for you
Is this the car with the clutch problems you have been posting about?
If it is, then there is an irony here that the truck delivering the car with a dodgy clutch, has got a dodgy clutch.

Dodgy clutches. It’s contagious...

I heard he is quite cheap..

I hope it is clutch failure and not him messing around.
The other member now has this on their drive and although have said it is ok,
it is still taking up their drive space and I feel guilty about that, sorry Katherine.

One good thing, I could call out the break down company next week as I'll have owned the car for a week or so.... get recovered home

if you contracted this person to do it it should be up to them to make alternative arrangements to fulfil his commitment...
