Andy Entwistle 96 Posted April 23, 2018 Everyone loves a tryer..... I have my own VX220 up for sale at present ( PH, Ebay at the moment). They are a fairly rare car, with a small, but dedicated following... on for £10,495. First enquiry.. "would you be prepared to sell it to trade, if so I'll give you £7100 for it" goes on to espouse the virtues of selling it to trade... My reply. " I would, but not for that value".... It trades at a shade under £9k and retail is £11k - £12k.. Bless him, can't knock him for trying.... Is this the opposite of customers phoning up and offering £2500 for a £7k car ?

MattR 177 Posted April 23, 2018 Its the same as customers making a cheeky offer! the difference is, he is at least likely to show up and pay unlike the normal behaviour pattern of the late night keyboard warrior 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a dream of a punter today, confessed to knowing SFA about cars, offered me a very low mileage full MDSH Qashqui in chop, michelin's all round and took a below book offer on it and paid full price on the car he wanted. Didn't want to talk cars with me, offer his worldly knowledge etc, just wanted to buy my car and trade in his. They are a rare beast but they are out there!

BHM 994 Posted April 24, 2018 2 hours ago, met said: ....... everyone's a trader? They are when it comes to paying but they aren’t when it comes to a proper cash deal or if a problem subsequently arises. I was offered a cash deal over the phone yesterday from someone wanting a few quid off, trade & allegedly no hassles. I asked “Is this a PROPER cash deal?” to which came the answer “Yes, I’ll transfer the money from my account to yours”. If that wasn’t bad enough punter then adds “I’ll speak to you on Wednesday when I have the money from my car that I’m selling. My neighbour says they’ll have the money for it by then” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It puts a smile on your face because they're normally happy to have just got something done they had little interest in doing. Much Like I feel if Ive got to get a new washing machine or similar!
