Why not speak to the garage and say you'd only be interested if it came with the correct gear knob and steering wheel. They may oblige for a sale.

But why are they missing? When I rang before I noticed them little details he was a bit of a ass then. Asked him what the body work/paint work was like any marks etc and he just said "as good as any 12reg car" well what's that then you cock  :signLOL: never mind search continues, just was wondering if I was over thinking it etc and what you guys thought of it.

That's your hard earned money your spending so doing as much homework as possible is the way forward.
I would give it a missing just cause I know that's not the only issue you'll find from that type of seller.

I hate sales people that give you responses like that. I don't care how good the car is and how many boxes it ticks. If the sales person is a pri*k then I would never buy the car from them.

If you can't give honest and detailed descriptions of a car that you are selling, then you shouldn't be selling it (especially a garage).

And if you have doubts/second thoughts, then also walk away. There are plenty of decent cars/owners out there. You just have to be patient and find them.

For me, it's not just about buying the right car. I have to buy it from the right person as well. If the person annoys me with silly answers, then I would never purchase the car from them. You don't know what else they may be hiding.

Hope that helps.

Well if that's what he is like then you're right to take your business elsewhere!!

I went to RS Direct to look at a couple of cars at the weekend and of the three cars that I enquired about I got the same answer from the salesman "It does what it says on the tin".
If I was buying a tin of Ronseal wood stain then I would have expected that answer but not for 3 separate performance cars!!
Needless to say my wife and myself walked away.
