Why won't you take any pictures? Please explain!!!! It's not as if you have to go and get them developed and posted to a potential buyer. Everyone and their mum has a decent camera on their phone so if you haven't got one I'm sure you know someone who has. If you don't have the technical know how to post the pics on the Internet (which you have already done so maybe you have) then email them all to me and I'll do it. I'll do it for free to help you. If you don't have a ramp then at least get a torch and light up the problem spots people have asked for photos of then take the pic as phone cameras don't do well in the dark sometimes. I've no need to mate. The car will sell to the first person that views it.

If this guy is a trader, he can't make much of a living from it with such communication and customer service skills! Keep trying mate, but as I said previously, I doubt it'll sell to anyone reading this thread. As I say, I'm not a trader, and frankly I don't care if it sells or not.

Thank God you reverted to a more intelligent, mature approach to your responses. Now, where is that *roll eyes* smiley? Keep dreaming about owning one of these mate. Haha, they just keep on coming. Brilliant! Embarrassingly juvenile, but oh so brilliant!

Truth is lads if anyone WAS genuinely serious about buying it they would actually go and look at it, take it for a mot and then decide whether its worth buying or not. I appreciate the boy from Glasgow would be unlikely to travel that far without more info first but anyone living in England it's no more than a 250 mile journey to take a good look at it which is nothing . FFS there's flights to London city airport/Southend airport for next to nothing these days, satisfy your own mind then. Photos can be stolen off the internet, doctored or not even of the same vehicle, the op has already stated that he's not in with anyone in the motor trade and frankly there's an incredible amount of timewasters out there, and sadly a lot on this site. We all know its a good price, looks clean, has plenty of test on it and being a cat c is never gonna be the show winner some people expect it to be, go and look, buy and enjoy.

^^^^Well said that man. Can't believe the amount of prats trying to spoil this guy's ad. So he is unable to get pics of the susceptible areas... Tough! Go see it. If you're not happy with his description/occupation/anything elseyou may have against him.... F*ck off somewhere else.

We all know its a good price, looks clean, has plenty of test on it and being a cat c is never gonna be the show winner some people expect it to be, go and look, buy and enjoy. Sorry mate, but I don't think it's as simple as that. Even if a potential buyer is only 100 miles away, it's still time and money to travel to take a look. If the seller can't be arsed to just upload a few simple pictures to help people out, or even answer with acting like a child, why should anyone waste time travelling to look at a potential dog. Fair enough, pictures can be doctored or of another car, but that's another matter. One of the very best things about the internet is how it opens up a whole new way to buy/sell a car. You get unlimited text to describe your cars and plenty of opportunity to add photos to help the sale. I appreciate the car might be a very good price, and I'm certain it would've sold if pictures had been added and the childish comments were kept to a minimum. Another thing that wouldn't help is him not mentioning in the advert that it was a CAT C; it took another poster to ask about it. Anyone who looks at the log book would know straight away about that, but it would put some people off buying it. I'd be cheesed off if I went to view a car and it hadn't been disclosed as a CAT C. Anyway, enough of bumping this thread, I'm not here to argue with anyone or waste peoples time. I just find the sellers sales attitude odd and potentially dishonest at the very least. A lot is said about buyers being timewasters, but it can, and often is, sellers who are timewasters by not providing adequate details in a for sale advert.

A seller is under no obligation to divulge whether their car has been subject to crash damage. Yes, it's an honourable thing to declare it, but it isn't mandatory. As for the pics, he's said he hasn't got access to a ramp to take decent pics. I don't understand why this is such a bad thing. A lot of ads on here come without pics to start with. I don't see you ruining their threads. Just get over it. If I was in the market for a 635 I'd go have a look and make my own judgements. You just might be pleasantly surprised.
In all honesty I'm surprised a moderator hasn't deleted the majority of posts.

At least you could turn up and not feel bad for making an insultingly low offer. Always feel bad buying cars cheap from nice people so if the seller is a prat it's guilt free buying

Well, this is all rather embarrassing/annoying/frustrating.
I think we've pretty much got the idea here.
If you want to buy the car, go and take a look. We don't need to ask for photos again, or discuss why the seller seems to be less than forthcoming with some information any more. Read the thread and make your own decisions...further discussion is not required.
Gunscrossed: Whilst I appreciate that you've made your position clear and shouldn't have to keep dealing with the same line of questioning over and over again, some of your replies are far from the spirit we prefer on RR, you should be aware that you are teetering on the edge of receiving a ban.

You know what, the way you have managed this thread is juvenile. All the lame comebacks to constructive criticism is getting boring now. You have a car to sell? Grow up and quit with the clever comments. I'm not some casual surfer trolling about with comments about random threads either. I was genuinely interested in this car when I saw the pics at first. A 635 is one of the cars I want to own at some point, but you lost a sale to me a long time ago. Oops yes i did. Only just realised i posted this from the notification :# sorry about that
