Can ya tell me what my cars worth mate ?

Recommended Posts

Now that was his opening comment this morning at 9.30 am 

What do you have you need valuing then i ask  .

Its a VXR Mate , mi mates wanting to buy it off me but want to know what he's got to pay me for it , fair like money so thought id ask a trader , 

mmmmm So your looking at buying a car I'm selling then was my approach . Two traders apparently told him to take a hike and value it himself .

Might buy one mate depends on deal n what I get  

So I said ok , got a little time with coffee in hand , took the details of the VXR and gave him a retail figure minus £200  LOL heard his mate say "ok bud I'll tek off yer at that money then " 

So my next question was now you've sold your car what you looking for to replace it then . 

Be bak later mate he said , so I thought oh well my kind deed for the day :unsure:

30 mins later i receive a credit checker , High High High eligibility on all levels , this was on a 20 k car .So i rang the number back and it was the same guy with the VXR Corsa . Got the money off mi mate he goes like this motor can I put 2k deposit , so i sent him the deal BOOM auto accept and hes just left with it .

Worth the effort after all .

My father in law and his dad who were old school would have called him a dreamer, and not entertained him, 3rd generation we treat them differently just before lockdown had a kid roll up in a 62 clio sport wanting to test drive an 18 plate audi s5 at £30k, wanted £4k for clio (which had a misfire) which we offered, he then said I need to go and speak to me dad, thought no more about it 1 hour later he is back, me dad and nan are paying £10k can I get £16k on finance, sailed through auto accept paid out, we have had the poshest customers in demanding this that and the other and turns out their credit rating is so far down the toilet they are willing to pay nearly double through sub prime just to have a car that looks good, give me straight John Bull anytime, and congrats David sounds like a good deal

As pleased as I am to hear your good luck David, if anyone else says: “get in!”, “go on my son!”, “back of the net!” Or “winner winner chicken dinner!” I will vomit! lol

When I was signing up some roughish but friendly likely lad on chucky and you think he will never get accepted.Then you ask their occupation and they would say ‘scaffolder , steel erector ,I’m on the riggs or self employed Ready Mix Concrete driver you knew they would fly through.
