After several failed attempts to buy a car, including one person pulling out of the sale days before I was due to collect the car, I've just been stitched up by an eBay seller who yesterday promised to sell me their Traveller outside of eBay. We agreed a price and collection arrangements and he said he would remove it from eBay after I sent across a deposit of £100.
He then ignored all texts and calls and didn't send across his bank details for me to pay the deposit, so I was forced to bid on eBay and ended up losing by a measly £50.
I am heartbroken and wonder why I am bothering when it seems to be so difficult to buy a car like this. I am a completely genuine buyer who want a Morris to love and look after and I just feel so upset that people are so unscrupulous, and have no qualms about letting people down! I spend all my days trawling the net until my eyes hurt, and every time I find a car it either gets snapped up by someone who doesn't work and can dash to viewings at the drop of a hat, or something like this happens.
Sorry for the rant, but I really thought I was close to finally owning a Morris.
While you are looking you can be learning so much from the forum that when you do get a car you will feel like an expert from the off..........or at least know where to ask questions 
Stick with it, it will come right.
A few months ago £3,500 - £4,000 would buy a very nice example with a lengthy MOT. Now they're £5,000 - £7,000!
