funny stuff that, yeah look i see nothing wrong with making a low ball offer, so long as the person is serious about the offer has the money and willing to do the deal. a car is only worth the amount people will pay its that simple. i would need a hell of a lot of space to discuss my past experience so i deadset simpthasize with you on ur "sale" ive had sales go as long as 3 and 6 months. now that sucks

Thats so true dude... but i've realised that if someone wants a car bad enough they will pay what you ask but so called 'negotiation' for cars ALWAYS happens. Definition for this topic is "BALL BREAKERS".

Mine was advertised for a price.... I ended up paying that price (with some extras thrown in). I was a bastard about things being road worthy and tyres being decent.

Depending on their asking price, I'll pay, however, it better be in the condition for that price.

Dreams are annoying, give you $200 for a $500 item... err no... well I'll go elsewhere and get better for $250....

Ahh just reminds me so much of boostcruising, always people "That's what worth blah blah" when it's the market rate for the area ;) Too many tossers, but if you want to sell your goods you just be paitent and take it like a man.

Althought, if a person hasn't bought the car within 2 weeks consider him gone, or ask for a higher deposit (eg. they paid $50, then make them pay $500 if it's been 2 weeks, then $1000 more after 4 weeks). Heck they might even slowly pay off the car while it's in your hands haha.

Dealers aren't the only ones that will try to pressure you into buying. The first r33 I looked at was a bit bargain basement re: paint and interior, but the price was an absolute steal. Was almost considering buying it until i took it for a drive and noticed a bit of smoke when you shift gears.... :) when i said i'd get back to him the dude panicked and knocked $500 off his asking price. I'm trying to get away and he knocks ANOTHER $500 off the price. He was practically begging me to take it and he starts getting shitty telling me i'll never get a better deal etc. Then on the way home he rings me to tell me hes had an offer and do i want to make him an offer before he sells it to the other guy :( He just wouldnt give up. I couldve got it for a song but i knew that little bit of smoke was going to be worth big $$$ sooner or later. Not to mention it looked like he'd had a few orgies inside it :D

"i love GTR owners thinking theyre gods mostly cause they have a GTR... "

Yes and the problem with that is... :D *looks adoringly at his GT-R*

"...The f**kwit keeps calling me over the next 2 weeks to see how I'm going and have a chat. Either he wanted to get f**ked in the ass or he doesn't have any friends but at this point I really knew this guy was a headcase f**kwit..."
:(

I know we've moved on to tyre kickers but what about our own back yard...Someone posts their stuff for $XX and the next thing a member is posting that his mate can get one from busted-arse-astan for $xx-10%. then its on...thats crap

luvs it, i take it you are the one selling the big hp r33 gtr. read through your thread many times to see how the sale is going. i personally think if a person were really that interested they would call or PM you for a contact number and take it from there. when i saw my car advertised, recieved some photos, looked at it few days after and went out to buy it with cash/bank cheque. no internet chat required. its a nice gtr, good luck with the sale.

yeah croat thats mine, i get a fair few pms, unfortunatly with that type of car bring that type of interest. but alot of people want to talk and talk, with little if any serious intent.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
