Thanks for the moral support - I try ;-)
Already had one enquiry which I'm struggling with - honestly someone just asked me "What is the working condition and final price" ffs... :bigcry:

Last price without seeing the car! If your a serious buyer come and view it! Drives me mad

To be fair Si, I dont mind people asking this.

If you have a budget and it is £750, £500, £1000, £1500 etc short of the asking price, you know whether its worth going to view or not. If the seller states Im not accepting a penny less then thats fine.

I have viewed some cars and found defects that I would want to rectify, but dont want to pay the asking price. This is after speaking to the seller and being reassured its perfect in every way. The seller would not budge, not even a Single £.

If you are travelling a massive distance, even more important. Some cars look "right" and interest me, but are obscenely overpriced. So knowing if the seller will take less than his silly asking price.



I dont see it as a problem, with the cars I sell, I get people asking that exact question, I respond by saying, that I want as close to the asking price but I am open to negotiation.

Also when I advertise a car and I need say £5k back for it to make me a wage I will advertise it at say £5495, and when the people ask that question I say £5k, no lower. They feel like they have beat you down and getting money off.


I personally prefer someone asking me on the phone if I will take £4500 for a car I have advertised at £6k, not after they have wasted hours and hours of my time coming to view and test drive then low ball you. That pisses me off far far more.

That's a good point. Saves everyone's time if they are thinking of sniping you down a big chunk! Amazing what some people consider a sensible offer but I suppose if you don't ask you don't get and the way the country is at the moment some people are willing to take a hit

No fair comment guys - but it was more the question of "What is the working condition of the car" that had me confused, I thought I'd made that pretty clear - I wasn't sure how to respond to it tbh by email - phone yes but an email one liner!

I guess I was hoping it would have been pretty obvious I want as much over 3k as I can get as I asked 3.5k and we can haggle over the tax etc...

Pretty quiet tbh, only one serious, chap emailed last night seemed pretty interested, I replied this morning, nothing back yet...

...but I have other things on my mind, CSL TOMORROW - WOOHOO:drool:

Q - is it too cold to divert through Lewes with the windows down just for the tunnel - I reckon not :thumbs: ;)

LOL - might have then gone through the Shoreham bypass tunnel afterwards as well :clown:
...the tunnel tour continues - is there any therapy available for this, or just changing down 'because it seemed appropriate' :-D

...forgot to say another chap emailed offering 3k without seeing my 330ci - I replied and then nothing... bizarre world eh!
