derskine got a reaction from Magnificent Rustbucket in Some shite I bought recently - 1986 Ford Capri, 1993 Jaguar XJ40
After a bit of a car buying hiatus, I've truly went above and beyond.
First is this 1986 Ford Capri 1.6 Laser.
I've always wanted a Capri and decided now was finally the time to get one.
It's in pretty good nick. Just need to get the bonnet painted but otherwise it doesn't really need much.
I was really torn between a V12 Jaguar XJS and the Capri but I definitely made the right choice.
Which brings me onto the next purchase.
With my 190D's impending MOT failure, I needed something to drive to work whilst I sort it out (rear suspension needs renewed entirely), so I was on the lookout for something cheap, reliable and economical.
I ticked the cheap box at £1400 but I veered significantly off course on the other two with this Jaguar XJ40 3.2S...
Really I think this was a bit of a bargain....

derskine got a reaction from GrumpiusMaximus in Most stupid message while flogging a shiter
I had a guy who agreed to buy my Imp and collect it on Saturday.
Most of it was on the phone, but I'll try to recount it.
The initial phone call was... interesting, 30 mins of talking about his hernias, Madmax films and other random shit; about 30 seconds talking about the car.
Saturday came and he asked me if I would take credit card as payment as his wife was paying for it, I said no, obviously. He then said he was transferring the money from the card into his bank account but it was taking ages so can he come tomorrow, I said cool, I'm going out anyway. He texts later to say "he's lifted cash for it now".
Sunday now, and he messages me when he was meant to come pick it up saying he can't wake his wife up which means she doesn't want to pay for it (thought he had "lifted cash"), can he leave a compressor as deposit and collect it next week.
I swiftly told him no and within a couple of hours someone else has agreed to come and collect it.

The thing is, with the compressor he was expecting me to drop £200 off the final price as well 😅

Should have asked him where he "lifted" the cash (and probably the compressor) from.

Gotta be honest if I couldn’t wake my wife up the last thing on my mind would be buying a Imp 😂
just love the randomness of “can I leave you a compressor as a deposit?”
what world do these people live in

I don’t know if I’m being a complete wanker here but really should he be buying a 50 year old classic car if he method of buying it is borrowing money off his unconscious wife’s credit card? What is it with people trying to constantly find a shortcut to the workhouse.
