Avoid buying cars from gumtree and make sure you go with a few people just to be safe as I went to view a car today which i had seen advertised on gumtree with my mates (7 of us in total) and on arrival there there was no car but instead a group of more than 15 armed thugs (black men) looking to rob us we ended up having to fight them off and call the police and this happended in sutton

Niiiiice !

we ended up having to fight them off

with a shitty stick

jesus, ime always worried this is going to happen when me and my friend go and look at cars, and tbh when we know its a dodgy area we do go 'tooled' up just incase if you know what i mean...

i pretty much avoid gumtree, heard a lot of bad stuff

Ouch!

Something I've always been wary of, getting done over when going to buy parts or summert.

didn't seem racist to me... i just imagined it as a stupid animal - if it was a herd of white guys, the same comment could have been used

yeah but white people ain't referred to as monkeys

tbf, no-one said monkeys, what was said is:

more than 15 armed thugs (black men)

low life scum.......left the zoo gate open

Unless we're reading different threads, there was no mention of monkeys...

Monkeys are animals that live in zoo's behind bars.

I'm obviously not the only one that made this connection as some one else already stated that they agreed that it seemed racist. I'm not saying it was intentionally so, but it could very easily be read as such.

Are black guys harder than White guys?

shit man that sucks, what car?

what about lions, zebra's etc...

i'm not saying it was or wasn't racist, i'm trying to illustrate that people canjump to conclusions when reading a post.

Bought my car from Gumtree, has no issues. The most simple way you can insure a car is actually there is to have the seller right their name or the date (or something like that) on a piece of paper, hold it on-front of a camera with the car in view and get them to show you the picture.
