Boom! Nice One. Had a sneaky feeling about one at auction online once - declared as 'believed incorrect' mileage of 50k and no history. Bought it £1200 behind. Turned up and the speedo was set to km rather than miles. 15 seconds and a couple of button pushes later, real mileage reads 31k and main dealer service history is in drawer under seat. Double Boom!

my reply this morning 8.10am Thank you for your enquiry about our Peugeot CC Here are further details if you've not seen the full video, 360 interior and more images http://www.specialistcars-stoke.co.uk/listing/peugeot-207-cc-gt-coupe-convertible/ Whilst you may feel its over priced the car , condition and service history speaks for itself , if you appreciate quality over price than you will see how good this car is, there may well be 'cheaper' cars on the market but I don't feel they will be as good as what I have on offer. If you are interested please feel free to come and have a look close to asking price. Kind Regards Umesh So this is the update as it happens today. 13.22 He calls to ask if the Peugeot is still available. 14.20 Arrives looks all-round the car which is in the showroom and says "I'm the man who sent you that email , Its tidy" "I said it's so nice it's in the showroom and not just outside" "Can I take it for a test drive ?" he says I said "so you like the car ? " "Yes , very much " he replies "I said should we discuss the price before I get out of the showroom ?" Now I'd got in my mind I'd discount it by £250 to do a deal , so I thought I'd ask the question " What deal are you looking for so we both know where we are at " He said " I want 12 Months MOT ( MOT Jan 2017) , and 12 Months tax (180) on any car that I buy so I need to build that into the price " I replied " if you give me the asking price of £5000 and you're happy with the way it drives , do we have a deal ?" He umered and rrredd was lookin for a better deal than that .. I said just look at the car , you're getting everything you want .. " Yes " quick drive and literally quick drive ( Him & his wife on their own ) Back in let me give you a deposit - see you next Saturday ! Result !! 14.35 Gone ! Taken me longer to type this He did tell me of 'some of the cheaper ones' he'd seen after giving me the deposit and how bad they were !

You buy a low mileage car without history but you take a chance and go with your gut that it must have some somewhere and there she is, tucked away with all the manuals that have been left at the entry office. Beautiful

I'm just joining the rest of the world with car valuations ... why can't I have 'UMESHGUIDE' !

You should be ashamed. Selling 'Poor value' cars at a good profit based on your own valuation? World's gone mad.

I simply ignore these enquiries. I used to respond to these types of enquiries but you can end up getting into days of exchanges with this type of customer and 99% of the time it leads to diddly squat.
