Look Leonard, I have always had good business dealings with you in the past and have always regarded you as a stand-up businessman. I had no reason not to believe what you were advertising and took your word for it. I was quite shocked when you had little/no remorse for your error that has cost me a hell of alot of money.
The engine I had to buy from you is still the legal engine for the car because you didn't do the police clearance for the new motor. I asked you right from the beginning for the Japan Auto receipt, 2months later and still no receipt.
I didn't actually want the diff but you said you were throwing it out, take it back then as I have enough of the things lying about here anyway.
The seal kit was part of the car deal.
Your 'service kit' was one oil filter and a 5lt oil, thats it. R480 for the oil and R120 for the oil filter.
Sunroof was working when I got the car, Im not holding it against you, its a common failure point and these things happen.
It took almost a month to get me the car papers, to which you weren't even the title holder and I had an absolute horrible time trying to get the car in my name, when it was finally in my name I had to pay double the licence fees to do so, only then do I find out that the car is a 2004 model.
When I bought the car you said you had done the software from 2.5i to 3.0i but last week you told me you only reset the adaptations.
When I personally saw you last week you said your insurance also had it down as a 2004 and that you made a mistake advertising it as a 2005 but felt insulted that I had posted saying its a 2004 instead of a 2005 and because of that you won't come to the party for remuneration...
2005 X3 2.5i book value R132 900, trade value R106 000
2004 x3 2.5i book value R106 000, trade value R86 000
I paid you R103 000 for the car and the broken original motor, on post#4 of the FS thread you were asking R96 000 for just the car, so the broken motor cost me R7000.
My sums were based on a 2005 model which made it a good buy, I was swindled, whether it was your intention or not, plain and simple.
As I said I will consider it as school fees as it was my own fault for not doing a full history check on the vehicle before hand, I was led into a false sense of security buying from a fanatic with a good reputation, I won't make the same mistake ever again.

Do you want me to pay you for the police clearance, do you want me to pay you for the cost of the agent that did the license and reg for you

If you go back and re-read my post, I was stating the plain and simple facts, the fact that you took it as a personal insult is on you and only you, all the other fanatics read it as it is, you are the only one who read it differently.
You know me very well to know I don't hide the truth and this forum is my podium, do you honestly think I will stay quiet and take it in the arse?
Believe me, I would be singing a way different tune if you just made things right. Everyone I have spoken to about it has given me the same answer...
How would you have reacted given the same situation? I gave you the figures, you can see how much out of pocket I am because of it.
I rushed into this deal without following the proper procedures, its my fault...Lets just leave it there and move on because this is going nowhere...
Sorry Chef, there will be no more talk of deals gone sour...Im moving on.:chef:

I just want to let everyone know that Leonard and myself have come to a mutually beneficial agreement of a R10k refund. I want to give a big thank you to Leonard for understanding my plea and making things good on our deal. I must also apologise to Leonard for not letting him know first about the '04 '05 issue, it was never my intention to slander/tarnish your name, I really hope you can forgive me because I would like to still have business dealings with you in future.

Many rep points coming your way.
