derskine Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 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. I really hate selling cars.

sierraman Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 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. goosey, wuvvum, Dan_ZTT and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 RoverFolkUs, moosemansjukebox, GrumpiusMaximus and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfella2 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I decided to sell the C3 on gumtree as there wasn't a huge amount of interest on here, and come across this stroker, initial hopes were high as could string atleast two words together, that soon went to shit petermcpete, sutty2006, Flat4 and 13 others 1 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 That looks like a spammer. Speaking of pseudonyms, the guy I sold my first Cavalier to had moved it on for a reasonable £1200. The guy who bought it from him was called Sean from Aberdeen. The car is a tired 226k mile 1.8 single point injection LS model. Sean fits a new exhaust and then immediately advertises it on Gumtree as (a much more desireable) 2.0 8v and is trying to get an Impreza as a swap. The visual differences between the two engines are very obvious I am not sure how he thought he could get away with that. None of the Cav's other faults which were disclosed by the previous owner in their advert are mentioned. His name is also listed on the advert as 'Henry'. I made sure I publicly rumbled the cunt on the Cavalier pages and the advert was gone in an hour.

Shortos Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Am I the assh*le in this situation? More than happy to be told I’ve got the car selling etiquette wrong. a Focus is up for sale on eBay for £800 with a Buy It Now button and Make an Offer button. I message and offer £750 to pick up tomorrow or Sunday. The seller replies he has someone viewing it (only viewing) on Monday so is unwilling to consider my offer until after that. I message back saying I’ll pay the full price so as not to lose the car over a mere £50. The seller replies No. I’ve not replied yet as im not sure if he’s being a moron or I’m being pushy.

SRi05 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I never understand folk like that, especially if it's a stranger they are relying on turning up. First to rock up with the cash takes it GrumpiusMaximus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortos Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 That’s what I thought. And as a buyer I don’t expect someone to hold a car for several days for me to merely view it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What say you? I don't think either of you are being an "assh*le" in the above situation. Just to play devil's advocate, look at it from the other potential buyer's perspective. They may have arranged a lift or booked train tickets to come and view the car on Monday. They would be put out if they then received a message saying the car has been sold to someone else. Equally, they may not even bother to turn up. If anything though, it suggests that the seller is probably quite a decent person to be giving them the benefit of the doubt. twosmoke300, bunglebus, neil1971 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightSix Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I've done the same thing in the sellers situation a few times now and invariably the original person does not turn up. He's being daft by not letting you just come and buy it. When the other guy doesn't turn up offer him 700 😂 Erebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
