and the dealers are obviously not that good at ripping people off as some think (or getting the best price). The Friday before you put your deposit down I was in conversation with them - they sent me a personalised video. I was preparing an offer the following week which basically was higher than what you paid and it surprises me that they went ahead and sold at that price the very next day after I talked to them to include road tax knowing they had at least one other interested party! Having said that, I think they were prepared to dump you possibly if I made a higher one soon as they didn't tell me someone else had secured it until the Tuesday or Wednesday afterwards - as of Sunday the car was apparently still available (the day after you put your money down) as they answered my further questions and said nowt about it no longer being available...
You can have mine for £17KDarren M wrote:Crusoe wrote:2008 Space Grey/Black Coupe

Crusoe, I have to say well done to you
Looks a nice one
In hindsight probably worked out best for me as not fond of black in small cabin's and black on grey is the exact same colour as my other car. And probably now more interested in a Roadster (already owned a Coupe before), fancying some open top goodness
That's it, link the value of our cars to our post count. Bing's is worth over £20K, and mine is second most expensive.Angelus666 wrote:You should price yours to coincide with your post count....so, £17016 today, tomorrow it'll be a few quid more!
Sorry Darren, yes I knew there were a few people interested in that one. Registered my interest as soon as it popped up in my daily AUC site check, was a younger guy Luke who wasn't interested in doing a deal but he wasn't there at the weekend so got handed over to one of the more senior guys who was much nicer to deal with. Made them a flat offer of £14k on the Friday night which they refused but came back to me on the weekend to say they could meet me half way and I twisted some road tax out of them after a few hours if I would put the deposit down on the day. Got to be prepared to walk away if you are going to get a good deal and having the cash ready helped. Missed a few and been looking since November (turned down a roadster at £12k with 45k miles which might have been a better buy) but sure you will find a good one eventually if you are willing to travel. Good luck, it's worth itDarren M wrote:Crusoe wrote:2008 Space Grey/Black Coupe

yes, and another example of a bad salesman who doesn't know how to do a deal - glad I waited for your view on that one though.pvr wrote:Looks better than the one I looked at for you, that was a bit ropey ...

. I first contacted them on the Friday too. Just so odd they chased you back so quickly on a low-ish offer knowing very well they had at least another interested party. I wasn't dealing with Luke it was Russell.
