We call them Messers.
You always get them which is why i am so harsh to prospective buyers or have been in the past i should say when i speak to them on the phone & when they come to look. First thing i say on the phone is if you expect a drive then bring insurance & some cash as Know one drives my baby without it. Buyers like hearing the owner loves there car so it doesn't scare them off, it does put off Messers though.
Also when they say will i keep it for them i say "Yes mate but only until someone else comes with the cash then it's Sold."
I take No deposits without writing a receipt saying Unless paid in full by such & such the Deposit is Not refundable & i only do this for cheap old bangers.
If i was selling your motor i would be even worse.
basically you only want to spend any time with proper buyers & those dudes have the funds in place Prior to looking. I am sick of showing people round motors who haven't even got the funds together for a purchase to me they are a waste of space & a waste of my time.

Hi m8

Thanks for the advice!

I am not actually annoyed because I don't have a replacement lined up yet and I love driving the car so to me its just more time in the car. Still I would have like to have sold the car by mid August as this is when dealers will be at their weakest and I can just go in making demands and bring them to breaking point. :)
 
Also you are not lying when you tell the next prospective buyers you have been messed about. You love the car, done loads to it & know its value. After some stranger messing you it is quite understandable for the next buyer to reassure you in some factual way. Like BRINGING THE ******* CASH WITH HIM :p
Good luck with it anyway, I look forward to seeing/watching your next project.

Hi there

Why is it you get people who say they want the car, say they are gonna transfer the money, then delay, delay some more and then say they are having issues finding the funds. Lets just say a tad annoyed, but on the plus side I get to keep the car for a while longer. :)

Sounds familiar, be prepared for the worst :(

Tommy B - M5/M6 are 'quick' up to 60, its beyond that where they really show their speed. i dont think many AMG saloons can crack 200 mph!

The Brabus E class will hit 211, the E63 AMG is limited though, and I can't see much after a 30 second google saying what it could do unlimited. It must be near 200 though...

Did the new buyer not pay you a decent deposit?

HI there

Nope, but I did leave the car advertised.

My mistake but I guess you learn, afterall its my first time in selling something this expensive. Wheras in the past pound notes have just been exchanged on the spot something of this value is not quite as simple.

Still anyone else who says they want it I shall be expecting a deposit, you learn from mistakes.
 
Yeah, definitely get a deposit in future, and make sure it's a good one (none of this £50 rubbish)

Hope it still goes well and he's not messing you around.

Hi there

Well that did not take long.

One of the car cleaning product sites on detailing world just called me, well the owner anyway. Yet another Porsche GT3 owner but he does sound a lot more coatia and specifically wants a Saleen Mustang as he wants a good handling car and when he saw the mods on mine he is very interested.

He is coming to view the car tomorrow which is a 600 mile round trip for him and he seems genuinely interested. As said if he decided he wants it then I shall get a deposit.

The amazing thing is though nearly everyone enquiring about the car are Porsche owners, quite flattering really. :)
 
Gibbo have you considered the Nissan 350z GT as possible replacement for the mustang? They aren't too special but could be quite tweakable with a decent V6?
 
what's wrong with nice economical car and keep the rest of the money in the bank for a house or a rainy day?

Surely the logical step here would be to use your sales techniques on spie and sell him the mustang?

A 350Z is no replacement for a a 532BHP Saleen.

Don't get me wrong, I love them, but you're looking at £5k just to get to 400bhp, very expensive forged internals and reliability issues to get to 532bhp.

Well done, who's this guy another enthusiast?

Hi there

He is the owner of a very popular car cleaning company on detailingworld and does a lot of trackdays in Porsches.

He came up in a very nice 13yr old Porsche 968 Clubsport that looked brand new.

So yes he is an enthusiast and has decided to try something different.

He's been in the standard Mustang and Shelby but was not that impressed with the handling, not a surprise coming from Porsches. However after been in my car today he was simply amazed by the brakes and was should we say very surprised at the cars road holding and as such he purchased the car. He was not interested in power, so as he said the supercharger is just a bonus. :)

Plus his Porsche was LHD and as such he is used to that as well. I am really happy he is buying the car because straight away I liked the bloke, because if a twit had come to look at the car I'd not really want to sell it them but as such this guy I am happy to let have my car. :)
