Are ppl taking the p*ss with their offers on my ad?

euser1984

Maybe it's only actually worth that much?

Thanks.

This is new. An OP answering their own question.

We're dooooomed.

YbFocus

Well a seller reacting on his/her own ad like you did would instantly make me skip to the next one.
It's not worth that anyway!

Stheno

It looks like it's in bits!

cerastes

So you want €1000 for a car with an engine that isnt running, and that went off the road and you cant be sure of the mileage, basically not much can be confirmed about it.
and you complain that someone rang you? if its not donedeal, why did you put your number up? or how else did they get it?

Its worth less than the worst offer I think.

myshirt

Take the 500, and take it quick. It is definitely not worth more than 350. Definitely.

frozenfrozen

says full service at 233k on 7/11/2013 on the engine cover..?

Shield

You'd probably make more money if you sold it off in parts. A door here, a headlight casing there. Let's be honest, whoever buys it is buying a repair bill.

coolbeans

Crap pics, rude seller's comment on thread, lack of info re mileage, car is in bits. Question is OP, are you the one taking the piss?

I kind of agree with some of the sentiments here. I understand you are wound up, but your comments will only scare people off. Your comments seem to have been toned down a bit.

Just bite your tongue and hope you get a good price. Good Luck with your sale.

Really ambiguous information from the seller. Highlight the bad point of the car really well. Now what are the good points.

Thanks for this useful post....I got annoyed because I got a phone call from somebody really rude.

I've updated the ad now - hopefully it's better.....

Now it says 100,000km and theres no engine pic. OPs pulling a fast one i think.

Cars worth nothing far as im concerned diesel injectors can be very expensive and thats assuming theres no underlying issue

The car cannot be described as mint lol

frozenfrozen

OP has clocked the car so? We saw the picture with at least 233k on it and now its listed at 100k miles?

dodderangler

10 year old car with bogey mileage. Needs an injector( parts and labour) damaged front? Did a mechanic look at it and tell you that's all it needs?
It's far from being mint for a start. Take the 600 offer an be done with it. You won't get more for it.

Mint , well kept?

It's a heap of ****.

Erm, you give a list of faults, then say it's mint. It's in bits.

Take the 600 offered and run.

Comedy gold.

euser1984

Yeah well I dunno what to put down but I explain everything clearly when they ring.....easier that way....

Anyway someone is coming to look at it today and he knows everything about it....it's good to know from here at least the value.


How could I pull a fast one when they will want to look at the engine anyway? I don't know the mileage because it's at the mechanics....easily explained on the phone....the guy that sold it to me is a wan*er and I lost money; yes, I'm annoyed.

I don't like writing about it anyway cos I don't know what to put down exactly to reflect what it is....so I'm not going to say anything about mileage when the clock will be different seeing as the engine was changed. phhhhhhheeewwwwww - it's just a pain and I want to get rid of it but not to get ripped off by someone that knows how to smooth talk when I have little experience selling cars.

That's grand - your not one of the people being rude....I assumed people would understand that I was only referring to some people here. (again I'm guilty of not being clear).

I'm glad you enjoy your job....
Regarding managing technies - yup, that sounds like a job that sucks alright. I'm sure you know the way it is with typical users aswell.

Bitter - Yup, I suppose if were talking about the same thing as being pissed off. Natural human reaction to something like this....

Look, mechanic said about 900 - because there are loads of good parts if broken....Sounds like the photos might be misleading....anyway, I'm accepting the advice regarding about 600 - it's all I was asking in the heading of my post. Not those type of people I was referring to in my last post.

I think it's probably fair to say they might be bitter about something much bigger than a car....I'll get over the car.....

Well there is no way online to know you have aspergers which can affect how you communicate and you do seem to fly off the handle for no reason.

Perhaps read back over your posts before hitting the post button?

Well, I think if you look back it's actually others here that have instigated this anger issue. I do get quite angry easily alright. Selling this yoke is a serious pain in ho*e for me....especially seeing as I have adhd too.....and then you have these spanners trying to have a go at ya for no reason other to have a go. If they didn't want to have a go then they could just refrain from posting or write/talk in a different tone.

I can't even remember it anymore - not a clue what to write about it....it's a piece of sh*ite according to everyone here.

I don't want to get another phone call from an ignorant *****er again like yesterday....I really don't care about the money that that much!

Hence the reason I've taken so long to actually put the thing up for sale..

I have a Sony vaio, initially I replaced the ram (and held the power button down for 1min) and it booted up and ran for a day or two with multiple reboots.

It's stopped now again - I removed and reinstalled the ram and used compressed air to clean it out first - no joy. I tried without memory - the power LED comes on (and stays on) but there are no beeps and nothing appears on the screen. I cleared the capacitors again and no joy.

Is the motherboard fooked? Is there anyway to get this going or can I assume the motherboard is dead?

Thanks.

How would you react if you were somewhat sensitive to blatant rudeness....I don't find myself around these kind of people in my normal day to day life at all, so I'm not used to it....I usually find a lot of people on boards to talk to others like this....I don't think it was always like this either....I'm a member of other boards that either, don't attract such people or don't tolerate it...

Leading me to believe that many people take out their anger when they get home on the computer....sure, we all do it to some extent.

Like important political issues perhaps - this I would consider normal because you may not get the opportunity to discuss away from the computer. If you did meet someone in the "real world" then perhaps you would get all this anger out....This thread is a whole different ball game....

What does it matter to those people at the end of the day anyway....do they work for the dept. of consumer-ship or something?

Spending time working with drupal more these days - getting a site setup targeting an untapped area! Ireland has many I'll tell ya that I keep that information for me and my friends though.

It should easily sell for €250. Perhaps ring some breakers. They might come and take it away for you for €250.

The moderator is actually aware of this thread and it was taken down because the mileage specified isn't accurate....I'm not sure what mileage it shows in the van on the clock....but yeah the engine does show that amount and I'm not sure when the belt was done....

Anyway; if anyone is looking at buying this I'm sure they would know that....why did I take the picture down? So as not to confuse people maybe....tbh, I haven't got a bloody clue!

ScouseMouse

Why don't you just relist it on adverts, with a straight, honest description, dont be a wise ass, and put a reasonable price on it but open to offers.

I can see you got wound up, but you didn't help yourself.

If you get an acceptable offer, happy days!, if not, you have lost nothing. Otherwise it could be sitting in your mechanics yard for god knows how long.
