    I've heard of the yaris tea sport, but that's ridiculous

    What a clown in fairness..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,425 ✭✭✭Avns1s


    Missed out on a digit in the telephone number given in the description too. Seems to be included later down the advert.

    Careless with the ad perhaps careless with the car???? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,546 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    A little old lady who gets the car serviced at the main dealer and mammies their car may not be too handy on a computer.

    I wouldn't be out off by rookie mistakes in an ad. More appealing than some dealer WRITING EVERYTHING IN CAPS


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,572 ✭✭✭msg11


    I wouldn't touch off a car with its reg hidden from the buyer. Screams they have something to hide.

    I would think the demographic you describe above, would have a very miniscule representation on donedeal, in fairness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,546 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    Nah, I doubt there's no underhand intentions, just naivety


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,025 ✭✭✭✭-Corkie-


    I would love to ring them asking why the reg is blocked and then say ah its blah blah. Tell them you have special anti tea towel software...:D

    Nah, on Adverts it'd be a three-wheeled lawnmower, two ferrets and a go on me missus!


    Wait, maybe that's Buy and Sell I'm thinking of....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,382 ✭✭✭jimmyw


    If you rang up and said, I have done a check on the number and it has come up ok (or not:p), they might feel :confused: and ask "how did you know the number"?.

    "Oh I have people in the trade, fraud squad etc.... who can find out these things" :D Brown trouser/underpants moment perhaps:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,974 ✭✭✭Chris_Heilong


    Its actually a very clever way to hide the number, fair whack. I would say they are just one of those people that think its dangerous to display your reg on the internet(paranoid yes).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,815 ✭✭✭✭Anan1


    I have to say, lads, colm_mcm's experience shows in this thread.

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.
