I am sort of on the look out for a 2.5TD, I came across an ELITE TD manual - sweet (I thought)
P reg, £1k (bit steep IMO) after looking closer, it's not got climate - I smell a rat.....
So I check against car databases and - ITS A GLS!!!!
I wonder if the owners know? Hmm...

So...
bought REAL Elite from recovery company to 'salvage' bits to make a pretend 'Elite'
Now selling a GLS TD with Bose, WRONG Steering wheel, Memory Seats (probably not even wired in), apparent 'rear' electric windows (again, probably not wired as the GLS I had never had the wiring for the rear windows when I tried fitting electrics all round), lack of climate, sunroof...
Meh

The thing thats making my piss boil now is, someone may pay top dollar for a look-a-like elite and be non of the wiser. >:(
He can't even say he didn't know either - his feedback speaks for itself.
-
I have emailed him pointing out his mistake and asking him to change the listing. If he does not I will let ebay know that he is misdescribing it.

you too?? ;D

Even if he'd have said "It's been upgraded with many of the Elite extra's" it would have been acceptable.
To try and "Badge" and sell it as an Elite though, is breaching the rules of selling cars, private or busines....

Some people just try and pull the wool over people's eye's dishonest Muppet's

These so called Bussinesmen are only Interested in one thing Profit
They think that Honesty is just for loosers, this sort of attitude ruines the trade for this sort of thing
i think it`s about time that these criminals, (because thats what they are) are brought to justice. >:(

Email to seller:
"This car is NOT an Elite, it is a *GLS*. Searches with the DVLA prove this. IF it was an Elite of this age, it would have Climate control, and many other features. Your feedback proves that you have recently bought a scrap Elite, and it's clear you have moved over some of the parts to make the Diesel car LOOK like an Elite, which it actually is not. Therefore you are breaching the Trade Descriptions Acts and indeed the law. Please change your listing within the next 12 hours, or I will report the listing to both eBay and Trading standards"

did anyone mention to him that there's no xenons and ask if everything was wired up to perfection i.e. heated memory seats?
-
Perhaps its the same Joker who tried to sell that VXR 220 (no.16) as mint having left a great evidence trail accross ebay and the net buying the parts he used to bodge it up. Made himself the laughing stock of the world. ;D ;D ;D ;D

i know it`s the only way, but by the time E-bay pull there fingers out this bloke will be a Millionair
they take bloody ages to get anything done >:(
But glad to see you are a man of your word.............. :y :y
-
:-?To be fair the seller says it was a Gls, although it has no wood trim. Also i ca'nt think of any Mig on o p plate 127k worth a grand. However i think you were all a bit quick to attack.
Yes, deluded seller but he did describe the car as a gls further down the listing.
Just thought i'd disagree for once. ::)
-
he could have edited it after being bombarded with messages telling him he was misleading!
-
Ended. Without a bid :y
