    Cryin buckets my new Lorry clocked - The Result!

    A few months ago I posted a thread regarding a new 3.5ton lorry I had bought and later found out it had been clocked. It had knowingly been sold to me clocked by the dealer becouse it had been returned to him by another lady for the same reason. Anyway the top and bottom of it is I eventually...

    Crying Buckets - My new Lorry been Clocked!!!

    Thank you at last someone who see's my point of view. It's ok everyone saying these lorrys go on forever, but I havn't got what I paid for, that's the whole point and an indepentant garage has told me the difference in value for the mileage is over £1000. How long will that keep my pony's in...

    Crying Buckets - My new Lorry been Clocked!!!

    Thanks for that, slightly more comforting, however that's not what I paid for and the dealers still walked off with wads of my hard earned cash!

    Crying Buckets - My new Lorry been Clocked!!!

    Thanks it makes me feel a little better that most trucks have reasonable high mileage - managed to trace previous service history and it has been well maintained. That apart I still havn't got what I paid for and he's made some good money out of me.

    Crying Buckets - My new Lorry been Clocked!!!

    Question like what? He sold me a vehicle with 71,000 miles on, I've traced it back so far to 120,000 with still 14 months missing. His ad says 25 years selling good clean quality vehicles. ok so I've been had - it's still illegal what he's done!

    Argh!!!!!!!!! *RANT* Why do people steal???!

    People who steal are real scumbags - we work hard for what we have. I'm feeling especially hard done by - someone just sold me a clocked lorry - might as well helped himself to £2000 out of my bank!!

    Dealer(would love to post who but can't) so I hope I have some comeback when it goes to court. I was bouncing off the walls when I first got it, It is fab, but it's all been spoilt now.

    Crying Buckets - My new Lorry been Clocked!!!

    Saved up forever for a super little lorry and have now found it's been clocked. Only found out by looking up MOT on VOSA website, but didn't get MOT 'til I'd handed over my hand earned cash. I'm asking for compensation, if I ever sell it I'll have to tell correct mileage + I'm now having to...
