Disgusting

Wish I'd found these reviews of this car seller before parting with a £200 deposit. Saw they were advertising a really nice looking Renault Laguna GT Line 2.0 DCI (black). Pictures looked great and I rang the guy and asked loads of question about the condition of the car. I was told that the car was nice and clean inside and out. I asked about any damage at all and he said no. None at all. I paid the guy a £200 deposit over the phone as we lived some distance away and said I would go down today and pick it up. I booked a day off work and so did my son. We set off on the 3 and a half hour trip down there. When we got there we couldn't fine the place. Main reason for this is because it is not even a proper garage. Just a plot of land with a fence around it. No signs. Nothing. I asked someone and they said that this was the place but the owner wouldn't be there till half ten of 11 in the morning. I went in to wait and found the Laguna under more dust than you could possible imagine. Still, through the dust I could make out a 7" scratch on the rear passenger door which had been botched up. The alloys were bubbling with corrosion with paint coming off and the wheel nuts were all rusty. I didn't even want to test drive at this point. When the owner arrived I told him of the fault that he failed to tell me about on the phone. He said they were age related. Utter bull from his mouth every time he opened it. He told me I had no intention of buying the car and that I had arrived in a bad mood. Yes mate. That's right. I will loose two days pay and drive for 7 hours just to show you my bad mood. Said he will not give me my deposit back. We will see!!!
