Buying a B7 RS4

[Gsedge1]

It'll cost me £200 in fuel to get there and back (I'm in Derbyshire and he's in Glasgow)

Bank transfer like the daft tw4t I am

I can't be arsed with the hassle to get it back, Karma will f*ck him one day!

If payment was made within the last 30 days, I believe you can contact your bank and request for a charge back or something like that iirc.

I paid 200 deposit on chip and pin on a rs4
The one I was going to buy before I got my one
Tge deal fell through and tried to claim through my bank using forms they sent out
I ended up losing even tho there was nothing in writing saying the deposit was none refundable I was a bit pissed off but saved my self 2k as the brakes was all worn badly and found a better one a grand cheaper with all work done

With a private sale, I honestly don't see how you think you could get your deposit back. What if you were the seller, you'd held the car telling others it's sold, only for the buyer to pull out? Would you hand the deposit back?

In the past, I've been stupid enough not to take a deposit and lost sales when someone's pulled out, that's selling privately for you. Just be glad you haven't bought a lemon!

I'm not trying to get the money back, I've repeatedly said that I'd rather be £200 down than have this lemon and that I can't be arsed with the hassle of even trying to get it back?

To be clear:-
1. The seller requested a £200 to end the auction early which he then didn't do;
2. It was his idea for me to call Audi which I did and they couldn't back up his story. I gave him
The benefit of the doubt and said I was still interested if he could sort out the 'misunderstanding' which he point blank refused to do and HE SAID he rather give me my deposit back but then back tracked later on
3. I paid a deposit for a car that he doesn't have (FASH etc.) which private or not is false advertising

Either way, I can't be arsed and he can keep the £200 to spent on crack and maccy d's
