Short story : There is a vehicle that has a gearbox defect. Be wary...it's still listed for sale. Read more for full details. 2008 Honda Civic 1.8 i-VTEC EX 5dr i-SHIFT Auto ONLY 39 K. HATCHBACK Petrol Auto Just keep in mind this quote from their website while reading this review. *"We are a family run business that are very aware of the perception that most people have of the motor trade. "* This is just my bad experience with Jamesco. -----------------------------------------*wasted time*----------------------------------------- I went all the way from Norwich to them which is a one way ~2h drive. On Sunday ..they were closed without notice. When they should have been open. Sent them a message on google...after which I got an answer from Martin saying to come again Monday. I took a day off work and went there again on Monday. Martin was not there. So that was another day wasted. Totally I wasted 8 + hours only on the road back and forth. -----------------------------------------*wasted time*----------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------*Scammer/Greedy*----------------------------------------- But on Monday I, at least got to test the car...which revealed that the gear box had a fault. The gear "slipped" when going from 5th gear to 6th in full automatic mode. Which is rather dangerous in certain circumstances. I got confirmation also that they do not have the means to repair it and it will be sold as it is. I just got a message from Martin saying that he refuses to continue with the trade. Basically because he would have to lower the price and he's not willing to do that. I won't post the full message here but it can be summed up as. "I will wait for someone that is dumber than you and doesn't notice the fault. So I can get more money...closer to the asking price." -----------------------------------------*Scammer/Greedy*----------------------------------------- The car is still listed with the same price as I saw it. Maybe other people had great experiences with them. For me it was the typical motor trader that's sits on the line of being a legal scammer. After this incident I would highly recommend bringing someone that's mechanically minded and can test the car properly before deciding to buy.
