Finally, a viewer comin to see my car tonight

[Malky]

After nearly a month of advertising, I've finally taken a call on my car from a chap who is coming through tonight to see my car.

Lets hope he likes the wheels lol

 

[AhmedRSi]

Good luck with the sale

 

[Malky]

Thanks mate

 

[iimushroomzii]

Cool.

 

[planetx]

bullsh!t baffles brains

I'm rushing home from work tonight to drag the hoover out (in the rain so I might be electrocuted)

Its clean, but I want it to be extra clean for viewing

 

[Craigus]

He'll probably steal it.

 

[Malky]

lol, then I can claim the insurance. Win Win situation (as long as I recover from the beating)

 

[Chili Red]

Make sure it's super-clean inside and out. People will buy anything if it's shiny.

Good luck!

 

[bigup7]

sometimes a too clean car can go against you - crap i know but ive seen it happen!

buyer comes and says cars too clean, something must be wrong :S

what is the world coming too!

good luck with the sale mate

 

[planetx]

good luck with the sale mate

I never clean the engine bay as from experience, a squeaky clean engine means you are trying to hide problems.

9 times out of 10 a shiney car can sell it's self!

When I bought my Cup (rip) it was sparkling. Said to me that it had been well cared for.

Good luck with the sale... If the buyer is serious and the price is right they'll look past wheels! I probably would the fact it's low mileage and it's a late plate...

 

[Gally]

Good luck Malky, did I see you in Livi the other day?

There's so many silver 172's about!

You may well have mate. Where about? What were you driving? I haven't seen many 172's in Livi. Saying that I don't drive about much.

 

[Gally]

The racing Puma mate, thought you looked over maybe it wasn't you!

 

[Malky]

I'm sure you would have noticed my wheels that everyone seems to despise lol

Where abouts and when?

 

[c__w]

I hear what you're saying but it works both ways IMO; it can often look like the bonnet has never been lifted if it's full of leaves and dirt. You can give an engine bay a quick clean with a sponge without going over the top "detailing" it.

 

[Malky]

Of course the bonnet's been lifted mate. Its French lol

 

[Marv-C]

Check all the fluid levels.

 

[fUbAr]

Good luck, those wheels are awful!

 

[Malky]

Good luck, those wheels are awful!

lol yeah mate, so I keep being told. However, wheels don't make a car. Easy enough changed

 

[fUbAr]

true that, it looked very clean in the pics so should sell. Are you getting asking price for it?

 

[Malky]

Not sure. He saw it on pistonheads, where I dropped the price to £3950, so we'll see what he offers. I'm expecting an offer of £3500

 

[Edd]

I hope he turns up. Two people have arranged to view my car and in total I've spent 4/5 hours cleaning it. The first guy txt 15 minutes before he had arranged to be there saying he was stuck in work, he had previously said he was free all day and it was bank holiday Monday. The second didn't even let me know.

But good luck, it looks like a tidy example.

 

[Nick_P]

I also hope the sale/viewing goes smoothly. I have a right joker messing me about currently, its seriously irritating.

Is yours for sale Nick?

 

[Nick_P]

Nah my caddy is up for sale, couldn't let the clio go...

The ph1s seem to being for nothing lately, even the tidy black numbers

 

[R20 CWH]

good luck chief. I seen one the other day up lizzie brices

 

[Gally]

Were you chasing him like a bad manz?

 

[Gaz_]

A properly detailed car can add a few £100 to a car for sure. Always make sure mine are super clean inside/out!

 

[Chili Red]

Exactly. If it's all shiny inc tyre gloss people think it's been looked after. Things like a dirty interior would put me off.

 

[Malky]

well, nice bloke came tonight and saw the car. Agreed a price and he is coming back tomorrow with the cash, once his insurance cheque clears.

Hopefully that will be the car sold. (and he liked the wheels too)

Did he leave you a deposit?

 

[Malky]

nah, just a hand shake and a discussion about a suitable time for collection tomorrow. Car will stay advertised though until I have had the cash.

 

[Craigus]

Good luck mate, ope he comes back, sure he will!

 

[Malky]

fingers crossed lol. Then I can get used to driving the 1.5 DCi Clio...........Boring!!

 

[SteveS Cup]

I didn't realise stevie wonder was looking for a 172!? Lol... Only kidding. Did he actually like the wheels?

I hope he returns with a nice wedge, if not it was probably somebody off here pulling your plonker about the wheels lol!

 

[Cookson]

Hope he turns up fella
