Actually you crack me up with your fail threads. :)

I loved your typical style in the OP of saying "I got £300 minus £50 admin fee". You got £250 mate. Then the usual willy waving of "Oh I can afford to lose hundreds because I'm loaded", it's like reading the same book again.

Selling a car to We Buy Any Car would actually cost me more time and money that selling a car on eBay, I'd have to take it somewhere and then wait for some guy to have a look around it rather than someone just turning up at my home and handing some cash over.

Cost me 15mins, thats how I like to sell cars that was about to be towed to scrap heap for crushing

I havn't lost anything, but gained a extra parking space :)
 
Signing out for a while to let the smack fu continue

If anyone else wants to buy the car with looking at it, If you go back approx 48hrs in your time machine you can try and make me a offer.

No tyre kickers

You should step back and listen to yourself :)

This is not the point, i am sure that they do. The fact remains that it makes your situation sound very strange. You post that you are so loaded that you do not need to care about x, y and z.

You then post another thread about buying a very cheap car, on finance, which lets face it, is not something someone with much behind them would even consider.

Just what is going on? You SEEM to fit my stereotype to a tee, and do infact work in a standard salaried PAYE job, and are simply not very astute financially. But you claim otherwise. Its this which leaves me confused.

oh really :), pretty stupid to offer money after a car has been sold to ex owner on internet without seeing the car first ? :p

People WOULD have given you £250 for it with no questions asked.

Sorry, what part of this do you not seem to get?

It's bodywork condition or alleged steering problem for that matter wouldn't have mattered massively for most of us because we would have turned a significant profit on it by putting in the MINOR amount of time you refuse to do. Just because you deemed it not worth it "cos you're loaded" doesn't mean that it is not worth it for other people.

At £250 it was a give away. You might as well offered it to actual people rather than a faceless corporation.

Question: If the online valuation was £250, would you have still gone?

Anyway, I turned up at some hole in the wall office after website had said £750 value (which I doubted very much). He comes out and looks over car....noting all the visible damage. Then what I was dreading, he asks for test drive.

Next up I'm in his pokey office and he starts to work his devaluing magic :). Fair play he did say if the car was perfect, it would have been sold to a dealer for £900, but the problem was the steering, most would run a mile.

After tons and tons of haggling I walked with £300 (and a £50 admin fee to take from that). He said if steering had been perfect he would have given over £500. .

Seems like the Flukester's idea of "No questions asked" varies from that of the rest of the general public? :confused:
 
Look, the guy is obviously so minted that he can afford to effectively throw £300 away and buy 2 year old Hyundai superminis on finance. I know we all wish we could be there someday but for now, let's just leave the guy be?
 
The profit they make from this will simply go towards more annoying adverts on Dave. Thanks muchly. :(

Is this going to be another "Stop being OcUK Motors bullies, you never tired to help the guy." thread?

Because - as is the case with other threads - he blundered through the deal believing every word the people in a position to rip him off said and handed over his assets in a rotten deal.

Had he come back and asked for our advice once he'd got their offer, we would have had the chance to direct him to ring around breakers, then drive to the one offering the most. Hardly any extra effort to get shot of it, but more wonga.
 
Next time i'll put [SARCASM] tags around the post, as it clearly wasn't obvious enough that I wasn't being serious.
 
I'm just waiting for part three, the usual sequence is as follows:

1. Flukester posts a thread about a really bad motoring buy/sale
2. He says he's really rich and it doesn't matter he could have saved hundreds because he earns that in 2 minutes
3. He says everyone in motors are idiot 'cagers' and that he's only going to post in the '2 wheels' forum from now on
