scotty71 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) well there's no reserve so I wonder if he would really sell it for that price.... He has to, its legally binding. Unless he pulls the ad at the last minute, I have a hunch that this will be seen on PH in a couple of weeks in HW Scotty Edited January 20, 2010 by scotty71 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 He has to, its legally binding. Unless he pulls the ad at the last minute Scotty Hmmm, i had peeps came up with excuse like its damaged etc before when I was bidding on computer stuff. Still very tempting tho... probably will be even more tempted if its on the mainland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 He has to, its legally binding. Good luck telling him that. He'd simply give you the two finders if he didn't want to sell it. Edit: I was out bid at £3800. I did consider bidding more but my girlfriend said something along the lines of.... buy another one of those before our wedding and I'll cut your bits off whilst you sleep....

jonathanc Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Might wait till 5 mins left then I will leave a cheeky bid Not my fav colour but for that price fook the colour! no reply yet btw scotty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 True I guess... was just tempted by the ad saying everthing's in order but I guess you can't 100% trust ebay ads especially for cars. Oh, and a low price doesn't always mean there's definitely something wrong with the car I could write you a list as long as your arm of things that if not changed will need changing or will definetly need a good look at. Saying everythings in order is meaningless with out some receipts to back it up. Be carefull as these cars are getting on now and will cost you plenty if your not very carefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty71 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 No I messaged him on the bay and I text him the stem seal question but no response... If I were selling I would make sure I was by a PC to see how it was going and to answer any questions in the latter stages... I was so close to going to view, with a vision of buying a one way ticket and driving it back after all it is a UK TT. Wack in a cheeky 4000.01 bid and leave it at that..do it do it now Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmonkey Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Saying that, sometimes a gamble does pay off. I've bought 2 cars with a bit of a risk - my old Ibiza GTi and my Supra. Ibiza was bought off ebay, and was mint, Supra I saw on the net, and had a look, and although not much history was absolutely immaculate. Sometimes you do get lucky. Besides, for the price of this UK, you can always budget getting some of the maintenance jobs on a TT done anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 And lol at the girlfriend comment:d just wack a 4k in and say you were shill bidding but now you are legally bound to buy it;) scotty I did that with my 1st one.

Dnk Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Sound advice mate. A very big risk of buying a car over fleabay esp at such a price...

As a guide heres a few items my 130,000 mile uk spec auto has had over the years. Radiator Heater Matrix A C Rad Diff Cooler Intercooler All hoses under the bonnet Brake pipes Fuel lines Caliper Seals Coil Packs Coil Pack Connectors Cam Cover Seals Valve Stem Seals Wishbones front and rear, upper and lower, inc all new eccentric adjusters Shocks I might have missed a few bits but it gives you an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathmonkey Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Always bid with 10 secs left as well! People frown on it, but the stuff I've won over the years! And the satisfaction I get from knowing someone else is really annoyed that they've missed out without an opportunity of re-bidding . I'm such an arsehole .
