A bit of info to anyone trying to sell their car.
Had a call about my car for sale. Man saying he was buying it for his daughter and his son would collect it the next day, give it the once over and give me cash. Gave the details, etc, proceeded to be made an offer for way, way, less than it was worth. Said no, proceeded to argue with me for about 20 minutes as to why I should take the ridiculous offer. When saw that he was getting nowhere, said he needed to look for someone desperate for cash or leaving the country, I did not obviously need the money!
It would now appear that it was a small time dealer who had a customer, but no suitable car. Would have taken car, drove it a couple of miles, quick tidy up and hand over keys for an awful lot more.
I think it is awful that there are people out there intending to capitalise on other peoples misfortunes in the Recession.
Not actually looking for advice here - just a word of warning to anyone selling their car.
it is. often happens other way around dealers selling as 'private'This is the first time I have sold a car privately and I had no idea that dealers contacted people pretending to be members of the public, so I do think it might be worth making people aware of this fact.
in all small ads they should declare they are dealers usualy with letter B i.e business. Lots don't because they are trying to pretend to be private sellers. If you ring up and ask about the car for sale and they ask which one it is a pointer to dealer but if you just ask about the ford fiesta you won't knowAll of the evening herald ads let people know that it is a dealer rather than a member of the public selling the cars, I am just letting people know that may be the case with people looking to buy too, because I had no idea.
Now my only questions are - petrol or diesel - and red or white?
So happy days - roll on new car.
Now my only questions are - petrol or diesel - and red or white?
Diesel and Black.
Just got rid of a black, so dont want another black. There is a nice gun metal gray colour. White is the new black you know!
And yes, I am in Kildare , so maybe lilly white for me.
Am going to go for 1.4tsi petrol engine or 2.0ltr diesel.
