Approaching someone to buy their car?

[EllD90]

It will probably be sold by Saturday, seen that car on Autotrader for a good few weeks.

The Sunflower?? The one on AT certainly isn't the one near me.

 

[EllD90]

I'm only winding you up

I once had a bloke in car behind me flashing his headlights, trying to get me to pull over...so i did. I thought there was something wrong with my car, but it turned out that he just wanted to know if i would sell it to him! Bit extreme but it might work if you stalk him/her down to the shop. (I was slightly puzzled because a silver 182 isnt exactly rare)

 

[Brian]

You're still going on about this!!

I can't offer any advice but I intend to go round this blokes house and buy it off him (for peanuts) and sell it on, all because you couldn't pull your finger out and do it yourself :rasp:

 

[Adam.]

Has this been bought yet?

 

[Harpham]

Yes I'm still going on about this B-Dog.

I want that sunflower damnit!

 

[daveski]

I'm going to drive around till I find it tonight.

 

[Adam.]

You have time to spam on here yet you don't have time to go to the door?

O RLY?

 

[Harpham]

They won't be in at this time, ffs.
I've knocked on their door a couple of times in the day already.

I'm hoping I'll catch them before work soon, although it'll probably be too early.
I'll get them on Saturday I bet.

 

[one in a million]

write a letter, tie it too a brick and throw it through their window. Theres no way on earth they wont notice that

 

[b1lly]

i bought my 2nd car by leaving a note on the windscreen ( didn't know which house he lived in as it was parked on the street ). escort 1600 sport mk2

 

[mace¬]

Google Street view of the house in question?

 

[Revels]

I do work most weekends, but I actually have this Saturday off. I plan to nip round Saturday morning.

Nice and early is probably best. About 7am. Make sure you knock really loud.

 

[mace¬]

Or between midnight and 4am. I find most people are in at those times.

 

[daydotz]

But id need a balaclava at that time...

 

[mace¬]

Go naked, that will get their attention alot easier.

 

[Harpham]

Ill have to wear a sock or something on my shrinky dink. Its cold out.

 

[Damo_Sport]

ffs you got this car yet?

 

[Knuckles]

write a letter, tie it too a brick and throw it through their window. Theres no way on earth they wont notice that

lmfao!

 

[Knuckles]

^ I don't know their name. Just which house the owner lives at.

walk out of their garden just as the postman arrives so he thinks you live there then take the post off him, check their names and add em on facebook

giving them their mail is optional

 

[Harpham]

^ You sound like you've done this 'stalking' business before .

 

[mace¬]

There was this girl once who had something I wanted. I tied her up and put her in my boot. Maybe try that, it worked for me because I got what I wanted.

 

[Knuckles]

^ You sound like you've done this 'stalking' business before .

lol no no i just used to like recieving mail... nobody posts anything to me you see

 

[Harpham]

Offer placed .

 

[welshname]

You leave a note?

 

[daveski]

Buy yellow phase 1, swap silver phase 1 for blue phase 2. Sell blue phase 2, profit??

 

[Harpham]

I actually caught him, so had a quick chat and made an offer, which he seemed interested in (he said it'll never move again, so he wouldn't mind getting rid). He's giving me a call later.

 

[Adamm.]

wheyy finally lol. How is the sunflower? Running?

 

[Marky_]

How did you "catch" him then? Just for future reference...

I'd have gone over asking to borrow sugar.

 

[Knuckles]

Hid in the bush and jumped out at him?

 

[R-Sport.]

Have you checked things like mileage & history- Owners?
S

 

[Matt W]

Caught him?

 

[Gray]

We'll see how good it is this weekend.....

The Polish love a cheap motor. LOL

 

[Harpham]

He's phoned me back. My offer has been accepted so my Ph1 may be up for sale very soon.

Gray and I are going to view it Saturday morning to make sure it isn't a heap and paperwork checks out ok (I could only speak to him for 5 mins before I had to shoot off for work). Fingers crossed!! This seems too good to be true!!

 

[daveski]

Thank ****!

I don't know much about it yet, as I didn't get chance to ask too many questions when we spoke.

He's owned it for 6 years though, so I assume it can't be too bad or that bad that no one would buy it anyways
Exterior wise, bar a non standard exhaust, it looks in top quality condition after a quick look over.

 

[Bodge!]

Fair play for persistence LOL!

A lot more than hassle than I'd be prepared to go through!
