Gutted

[vinny]

I have just got back from a 400 mile round trip to look at a mexico that was described as "ready to show"
all i can say if you are interested in a daytona mex in peterborough then dont go expecting it wll be as described - and we didnt even get offered a cup of tea did we dave.

[lee bishop]

vin, how much was it up for?? i know the price is no indicator, but if it was ready to show, for £1500 i would have been a bit suss, a "show" car wont give you much change out of £4-£6k+ would it??

[vinny]

£4500 Lee

Yeh Vin I was gutted for you, a show car, I don`t think so. As for not getting a cup of tea, well that was even worse.

gutted

HI VINNY I HAD SAME EXPERIENCE YESTERDAY, WENT TO NOTTINGHAM TO SEE THAT WHITE BIGWING OF E-BAY THAT BIG DAVE USED TO OWN.
WELL THE GUY SHOULD BE DONE UNDER TRADE DESCRIPTIONS ACT,MY FRIEND WHO HAD WON THE AUCTION HAD THE MONEY ALL IN CASH THINKING HE WAS GOING TO BRING HOME A MINT CAR.
HE TOLD THE GUY STRAIGHT IT WAS CERTAINLY NOT AS HE HAD ADVERTISED IT AND WE DROVE THE 4 HOURS HOME.
YOU AFTER ANOTHER CAR THEN VINNY I THOUGHT YOU HAD ONLY JUST BOUGHT THE BROWN ONE BACK?

STEVE PRICE

hi steve

nice to see you on here, yes i need a mk2 mex to go with my mk1

[GAZ W]

Had the same problems when i was after a mk2 back in september , people describing them a " minters" but when you get there most of them were dogs

Vinny,

Next time you go to see a car take Dave 1800BDA with you. When he went with me we got tea,and a bed for the night, he truly knows how to get on the good side of these sellers.

Cheers Garth

hi gareth

i did take dave m8 - the old fella must be losing his touch

[Banishit]

I looked at 7-8 in a few days that were supposed to be very good/execellent but most were incomplete junkers

what people seem to think is good is usually crap

[Dermot]

I reckon folk think if it's 25 years old and still in one piece it must be a goodun.

Wrong.

[vinny]

funnily enough, i posted a reply to him on the avo site(dont know why he didnt put it on hear -he told me he was a member) and he has suddenly dropped price to £3500. still about £1000 over priced

[garthbtp]

Vinny,

All i can say is i'm suprised, he must be losing his touch very disappointed Dave can i have an explanation please!

I hope you find the Mex you are looking for, it will be worth it in the end.

Cheers Garth
