Definately a credit crunch?

[chibs]

Having put my tuscan on the market last week I have had one enquiry from Holland! Is it really that bad out there for these supercars at bargain prices? I don't know if maybe i'm asking too much in the current climate but it was the research & development car, the only one ever reg in 1999 as a T plate and has only covered less than 12k miles. I know no one can say how much things are truly worth but not even any enquiries. I am truly surprised.

Yep
and you know
you didn't even respond to the reaction you had coming from holland
that's classy

Oooops.

Oh Dear...

[chibs]

is that a dig at me?? I am certainly not going to be drawn into a sgging match however what is classed as not responding? I sent more photos as requested and haven't heard a thing, i'm not a car dealer and don't do this everyday so am i supposed to drive to holland? if the chap was serious then i'm sure he would have made his intentions clear. when i was looking i made some tentative enquiries before making my intentions clear, that's what i assume(d) this was.

i had a chat lately with the dutch guy who was interested in your car
i said that i was getting fed-up with sending mails to GB and never getting an answer
i am really in to buying a tuscan (have owned 2 esprit's lately and want something more vicious).
i have the money but the islanders aren't interested ????
he said he had the same exprience
perhaps the story isn't all that what he has said
mine is

i have emailed again the chap concerned and try to put the record straight. i am disappointed you feel you have been let down. for me you have to show you are really interested, ask all the right questions and then try and see it. i don't know if logistically that would always be possible for you but i don't see how else you will manage to purchase. incidentally if you are in the market is mine of interest?

[rens914]

your car looks fine to me but i would like to have a blue one
there's one on pistonheads (reg date 2000)
offered 12000 didn't even get an response ???
so i believe there's no financial issue going on in GB
in a years time he can look back and regret not taking the offer

Hi Rens, have you seen the halcyon atlantis blue Tuscan added on this week?

You don’t always have to view cars before making an offer, when I purchased my Tuscan I agreed a price based upon the market at the time without viewing from a private seller, I also agreed that if it was not as described then the deal was off, got a bankers draft, went up on the train, came home in a Tuscan, some people buy with their heart and not their head!!!

Some people find it difficult or inconvenient to view cars up and down the country

I did similar, spotting my Tuscan on the internet while in the US. Wife went and had a look and got it for me.
When I got back, I drove 34 miles before the realisation that the engine was '*'*'*' out.
Needles to say, a little causion may have saved me a lot of money.

But, still love both my Wife and my Tuscan.

i have owned a lot of sportscars. (lambo,maserati,ferrari,porkers, jags, beemers and 2 esprits
whats a slow or quick colour
the moment i'm on track the car i'm driving in is always a pretty quick colour
to be honest. a lot of my cars were silver
i believe yours is black ?? ( i have seen it pass by on ebay twice ?)
send me pics on the mail adres shown above and additional info
