Give them a miss

Went up to Gloucester on 21 March to see a Kia Rio having spoken to a nice lad Jack before travelling as we were coming from Carmarthen. Got there to find car had only one key, not mentioned in ad, and that "margins were tight" so wouldnt provide a 2nd key. If we knew it was one key we wouldnt have bothered. Like some else here mentioned they needed a jumper pack to start the car. When talking outside a tall guy with a beard came out as he could see we were really inspecting the car and I guess he thought we were buying. The minute he heard me say the red paint was, well, faded would be fair to say, he got the complete Ars£ and stormed off back into his hut. This may be the same guy others mentioned has a stinking attitude. Whilst researching cars b4 going I came across another car they have. A red Ka YG62 EKU and as I do I looked at its MOT history. Which puzzled me. On GOV.UK 14 march 23 48,753 miles...which was odd because on the previous MOT on 11 july 22 it had 74,229. So just in passing as we were leaving I showed Jack screen shot of what I saw and he said thats odd hpi check should have spotted that. Bear in mind I was telling him this so they could check if they had been had. So we pop back into the hut and he speaks to a guy called Alan and he says it cant be our car. Unfortunately at that point I only had the screen shot from the gov site not the reg and no internet on my phone. Next thing the big guy with the beard is going off on one at me saying its not ours we dont have cars like that. So its no skin off my nose if he either does not believe me or knows its true...my son and I leave. Im sure were going to get the...this is a familly business response...or the we have no record of you visiting. But folks you decide if what I am saying might be true...visit gov.uk mot checker...oh and just to be sure Im not being accused of being deliberately mischievious I screen shotted the cars add as it appears on the website in case the car disappears from sale.
