I know what this car is worth

[alancdavis]

Why do these dreamers put this in the adverts for any rust bucket they may come across

I know of one car some dick came across and bought from a old lady near us and paid her the princley sum of £500 which she was happy with as it had sat in the garage since her husband passed away

He then advertised it and askeked £7500

Needless to say its not sold yet

I truely think some people think Escorts are the way to a fortune

[morcheen]

i think they call it business.asking is easy, getting is the problem.why's the seller a dick then ?

[alancdavis]

cos he ripped to old girl off,,, he thought he knew what the car was worth so he could have at least give her a fair price

[k4 karl]

Surely you are only ripping someone off if you persuade them that the car is worth a lot less than they are asking for it, then try to sell for big bucks yourself, you say she was happy with what she got, so whats the problem ?

[grum]

.................. so whats the problem ?

exactly ........ 99% of people would do it if it happened to them .............. the other 1% are liars !!!!!!!!!!!

I know of another local case Alan which was the opposite. This involved an RS round the corner from me, the lad heard of it through the grapevine and went to look at the car, when he asked the lady how much she wanted it was silly low money but he gave her a fair price for it.

Not everyone is a money grabbing dick, thank god some people still have some moral values. Unfortunately there's not a lot about.

[alancdavis]

correct

[Chesney]

HE'S DONE NOWT WRONG.

If she was unsure of its worth then she should have asked questions before putting it up for sale.

My mrs knows what mine are 'worth' so if i go suddenly she can avoid wayne-kers trying to steal them.

[alancdavis]

Think she might struggle as she was 85 and in a wheel chair

Doesn't mean she could not have asked someone to look on the internet for her. I presume she can still talk

[alancdavis]

Maybe I just dont like to see vunerable people taken advantage of

I would think the old girl dident even know what the inernet is never the less you will always get people that will do any thing to make a quick buck and have no regard for people that they may cheat

Is that all old people or just a select few ?? Countless media programmes on TV investigating things like this ...short changing vunerable sections of the public ..is that what it comes down too ????
