Bassically i decided to buy an EGAS BA Cab Chasis ute and found one in QLD so i rang the guy up and talked about it and explained i was from VIC and all that, got down to business and crucnched him down, he finally agreed to the purchase for the price i was wanting to pay on Thursday night. I told him that the airfares were not refundable and i was bringing a mate to help with the drive back and all which he said "no Drama's" and spoke to him Friday Arvo and explained we were all go, i had the cash and we would be up the next day at 9am.
We get to Brisy Airport and catch a 1 hour cab ride at $90 to his house, in the cab i sent a sms to let him know we were on our way and about 5 minutes later the drama unfolded.
I get a sms from a different number stating "i sent you a sms yesterday to tell you i had sold the car", which i never got mind you. so i rang the number and it turns out that it is his mum and she doesn't know what is happening just that he asked her to send me a sms cos he was out of credit.

I am Livid by this stage and we get to the address so i wanted to talk to him and lo and behold he is gone, The girl who answered the door says she knows nothing and it's not her problem, and that he left with out saying a word. So i ring his mum who also says she cant contact him and would pass on the message. So i told her we want our money returned for the flights and taxi totalling $920 with the return flights. The chicken little did'nt even have the balls to stand up and appologise for his stuff up and ran so i never spoke to him as his phone was off and no one knew anything, which was lucky cos had i seen him i might have ended up in a jail cell in QLD.

I have bought heaps of cars and bikes from interstate and have never had dealings with such a scum BAG. I think it is a real pitty we live in this type of a society that someones word cant be trusted and that you could have the shamelessness to let someone come to so much troulbe for nothing.

i wanted to pay a deposit which i was told no dont worry, and it got to late by the last minute decission by him thursday night.
I know that there a some people out there who if you stuff around will hurt you real bad.
My philossophy is you never stuff with peoples family or their money!
