wuvvum 35391 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Just remembered another one - forget what car it was now but it was something fairly unusual. I had it on C&C, a chap in Ireland proclaimed himself very interested and fired a stream of questions at me, which I answered. The next day he sent me a number of texts asking more questions, whilst I was at work and therefore not looking at my mobile. He got more and more agitated at my lack of response, finally culminating in a one word, all caps text at about 16:55 - "ARSEHOLE!" Believe it or not he didn't end up buying the car. privatewire, stonedagain, Nibblet and 2 others 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Macscrooge 456 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 When selling our Mazda Bongo camper a few years ago I took a bloke for a drive. He expressed surprise and dismay that it was noisier than his new Aldi A4. Twat. warch and privatewire 2 Link to post Share on other sites

catsinthewelder 7945 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 This does seem to have turned into the weekly everyone else is idiots thread. Why not look underneath a £200 car? I wish I had when I bought a mk2 Espace for £205 in the early days of eBay motors as I'd have seen all the yellow chalk and disputed the sellers tale that he hadn't had time to take it for a test. If the second of Billys photos is an enlargement of the first I might not have spotted the missing plug lead and indeed wondered if it ran (although I'm guessing you said it didn't in the description). I appreciate that "500 2nite" messages are irritating but perhaps as a nation we need to start accepting descriptions with "no offers" without grumbling?

Cavcraft 103877 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Fair point, Rich. He did know it wasn't running, but then again everyone else must have read it wasn't registered but it hasn't stop myriad questions about a number plate and a log book! mk2_craig and catsinthewelder 2 Link to post Share on other sites

New POD 12619 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 39 minutes ago, sierraman said: Can it be ridden back to Runcorn? I suspect that anyone from Runcorn, will be saying "What's your address" and "when will you out" And arranging to come and "bye" it whilst you are out. (No offence to anyone from Runcorn, but I worked in a factory there for 7 years and have met the thieves from The Park Gate Estate that got Liverpool it's reputation) sierraman 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DodgyBastard 21083 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 This was amusing, a member of this very forum giving me grief for selling the niva without "doing anything to it" for more money without realising he was actually speaking with me on Facebook...

HMC 18256 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Brilliant! I had that on retro rides years ago, I wanted to buy a bmw e28 and someone started messaging me explaining how the vendor bought it for x, y months ago- I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on or what to say, so just said thanks. It didn’t change my interest in the car. It felt like it was considered a crime to ask anything other than what it was bought for. Link to post Share on other sites
sierraman 16395 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 And that’s before we’ve got to the debacle of the Cortina! Fair enough on a £200 car poke your head underneath but bloody hell it doesn’t need an inspection of every square inch of the floor. There’s not a lot you can’t find simply sticking your head under the car for 30 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites
