Crap advert, clean the car, at least

Did you not think to clean the interior before you took the pics? Looks nice on the exterior but the cabin looks like it has cat litter sprayed around?

well... it was a bit untidy I agree, now it's not for sale anymore, went a trip in it and its just perfect (my gf's car. havent driven it for ages), so we are keeping it :-)

You started it.

Nice "My cars not selling so I'm going to put the price up soon" line. Then chuck the advert link on here when it's not necessary at all saying you're going to keep it.

I don't need to see another generic scam advert. Stop talking st and find a better way to advertise.

Incorrect, if you looked at the advert I stated that the price was non negotiable, and when people don't understand that and all they write to me is "please your last price", I choose to respond to the guy the way I did. If you look in another thread online about annoying car buyers and see my posts you would know that i'm right. I decided days ago not to sell the car.

if you really think I care if I sell a car C230K for 999 you simply don't know me.

Leave it for know we don't get anywhere anyway :-)

Forgive me. I didn't see that despite the fact that there was a very recent thread on the subject which you posted in, you thought this response was so interesting that it needed a new thread. And that despite the ease in which an ad can be removed ( I know because I've done it, would stop the scams too), you decided to leave it several days and even post a link to it.

I see your (valid) point, threads can get quote large and it can be a bit annoying to browse thru, thats why I made a new fresh one.

Enough for now, have an early day tomorrow on goodwood :-)
