Ware out? What does that mean?
Part worns can have puncture repairs aswell. They could even have ridiculously old dates of manufacture stamped in the sidewalls.
We get it I can't spell. Getting old that is now mate.
Part worns can have puncture repairs too, doesn't mean there going to have gash patches on the side of them does it?

When did I say you couldn't spell? Seems like you're taking your fake dyslexia anger out on me.

Not dyslexic. Just a shit speller.

As long as he's happy with the outcome, then that's all that can be said really.
I'm sure he'd have learned his lesson and next time will be more careful when buying a car. We all make mistakes.and hopefully learn by them.

He is. I said push for more so you can get two new ones but he's already bought one part worn for it when he got a sidewall puncture the other night. So if he gets another one hey match and he's £75 up.
Told him next time to take me with him not the muppet that he took last time.

Hopefully now he can enjoy the pops and bangs from the exhausts rather than the front tyres!

Get a mongoose on that bad boy and it'll be even better.
Always wish i'd got one when I had the chance.

Think he's getting a full KMS turbo back system. Going to be lovely when it's done. He's had a history of very nice cars. Always really clean and nice cars. Looking forward to working on this one.

Part worns on a RS.. Surely he should just buy a new set of 4 that way you know there all sound and decent considering you'd be spanking it round.

True story. However. After spending £20k odd on the car and it being Christmas time, he doesn't have £600 to spend on tyres yet. So part warns on the front for now. Then after Xmas he will probably get a new set of wheels anyway so tyres will be in with them.

He hasn't spent £20k though if it's on finance?

True story. Not sure what deposit he's put down or anything though. Either way he's not got £600 to spend on tyres right now...
And as above he will be getting wheels and tyres next year anyway

Buy in haste, repent at leisure. 
We all make mistakes like this at some point, to some extent or another. Hopefully he'll learn from this one Flaf and not do it again.

He spent TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS, on a second hand Ford Focus (a ropey one too)?! 
Don't suppose after Christmas he'd like to give me a couple of grand or so for a MK I Nova would he? Or a grand for a MK I Laguna?

A customer of mine, found out his Mk5 golf was crash damaged (not on HPI) when I did some work on it.
Due to the bad fitting of certain panels, and a leak, he took the car back, and they had sold the car he PX'd, so they offered him his money back, to fix the car, or to do a good deal on another car they had.
They did say if they'd still had his old car they would have come to an arrangement with that possible.
I thought, giving them all those options they were a bloody good dealer.
