IS IT ME OR

No, it's not just you.

There are prats like this all around. They boil my p1ss.

what is the point of coming to look
told him it had MOT and that i wanted £150 but open to offers

my wife had to wait in for this muppet

Person who bought my 323 was OK

Otherwise, no, it's not just you. Selling cars does seem to bring you into contact with the most stupid people in the world. Ever. I don't know how Vicsmith stands it. Yet when buying cars I've met some great people.

When I had the Starlet for sale last year I had someone who wanted to make me a silly bid because ideally he wanted a white 3dr. So why did he bother coming to look at a brown 5dr?

I rarely actively sell my cars, I much prefer it when they find their way to a good home by some kind of natural process, and I try to operate the same way when buying. A bit like Bo11ox's comment about having an Acclaim if it fell in his lap.

I've got concerns over what's going to happen to the Accord, we'll see.

I still stand by my motto of buy and sell cars when you can, not when you need to.

That's the advice I always give.

I also think that some of our problems come from our honesty...when the car turns out to be just as described the people have to say something idiotic to not buy it.

LMFAO

Twunt is without doubt my word of the week! ;D

these type of people really DRIVE ME MAD!

Mate, I have come across that when I have GIVEN things away....

People are invariably quite strange.

Years ago, I had my then-daily Polo in Auto-Trader. Took a call from a guy in Telford who wanted it for his daughter, we arranged for him to come and see it the next morning.

Next morning at the allotted hour this guy shows up in his company Beemer, attractive daughter and her equally-attractive mate in tow. She fell in love with the Polo on sight, I could see it in both her and her mate's body language.

Then he started. He'd obviously been swotting up using an 'Auto-Express Guide To Buying a Second-hand Car' or something, and again I could tell from his body-language and the knowing glances he was trying to give his by-now smitten daughter that he'd been boasting all the way down about how he was going to get her the Polo at a knock-down rate and that I would just crumble when confronted with his high-flying negotiating techniques.

After about five minutes of him walking round the car talking b0ll0cks about how this, that and the other was wrong with it, I mean like REAL nit-picking (I knew I should have cleaned the baccy off the fag-lighter......) whilst his daughter and her mate looked at him increasingly like he'd been let out of Rampton for the day, I finally snapped.

"Listen mate.....it's a nine-year old Polo. It's got stone chips on it because it's done 55000 miles. There's a bit of distortion on one speaker because they, like the car, are nine years old. There's evidence of smoking on the fag lighter because I smoke. Now take your bull5hit corporate negotiating techniques and your very nice daughter, get in your Nazi Staff Car and fcuk off, because I wouldn't sell this car to you on principle. You're a bell-end. Goodbye."

Three days later, I did the decent thing, and swapped it for a 1965 Land Rover and some cash. ;D

Some yrs ago I had a caravan for sale in Loot magazine . Had about 6 of the usual curse word who viewed it ,asked stupid Q's and left .I was gradually getting p****d off by now ,when the next couple arrived, I answered the door ,gave them the keys to the caravan ,and said "heres the keys ,put ;em through the letter box if you don't want it !" My Missus couldnt believe I was so rude ! It never sold ,so I cut the end of it out ,made some ramps and stored my A35 in it for a year !Loot also attracts t*****rs

mwahahahahahaha
