CJ Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Please allow me this rant as I do feel it is justified. I recently bought an NA off Lucifer for the bargain price of £1995. I posted up saying that it was indeed a bargain and that the body and mechanics looked ace. The plan was to get it taxed and MOT'd and to use it as a weekend car for a while. Anyway, earlier today I was sent a PM asking if I would sell the car as it stood for £2500 and make a profit. I thought about it and as I had bought another TT last night decided to accept. I have now heard from the "buyer" to say that he will buy it as soon as he has got the money together - I mean WTF! This is someone who is supposedly actively looking to buy a Supra and yet hasn't the money to afford one for 2.5k. Anyway, rant over!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 You can't say that's the first time this has happened to you? You're lucky if not. I can honestly say that this is the first time I have been approached directly to sell and then had the buyer decide he has no money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised. Especially with these cars - they attract loads of dreamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ mate i will give you £3K for it, but can i pay you when i get a job By the time you get a job we will probably have given up using money and reverted back to the barter system!
