Hi all.
I appreciate all your efforts to date .
I have been away for few days but still searching all the usual places as said. Nothing has leapt out at me yet with my budget of Max 7 or 8 k if a must, if its right car cheaper if possible for a nice one 5 to 6k that's also right.
I am sure if car comes from here enthusiasts will have a decent example at what ever the budget as mentioned.

I can't look at CCI magazine so any link it links would be great.

Regards Cliff.

These Cars have been advertised since December at least....Error in Magazine Perhaps?
Worth a call but imagine they have been sold??

Hi All,
Just a quick word about classifieds in the CCI magazine. Depending on when the advert is sent to the club, it can take almost 2 months before it appears in print, due to print deadlines and the like.

Obviously if it's a good car and it's advertised elsewhere, it may well have been sold even before the advert appears in the magazine.

All the best,
Andrew.

No problem.
I always ring as some people don't check their Emails that often.

That's a nice car. Although it looks like Caspian blue to me, not Titan blue.

True that. You can't beat a phone call for sorting out something quickly and easily.

Really annoyed with the advert I found and a member here also found.
Over a week ago I contacted the vendor for more info about the car emails back and fourth all was going well. He could not let me view and test the car until this week
I was supposed to view the car Thursday original price up until today was £5.500 now the price has been put up to £7.500
Really disappointed with the vendor to up the price after arrangements had been made to view at original price.
Even offered a holding fee which he declined.
Not nice thing to do as he knew my interest and put the price up. Hence I won't be viewing .
Back to the drawing board.
Sorry for my moan of the day.
Cliff.

Hi Cliff,
Another Hope he gets stuck with it!
Soon buyers will be priced out of the Market due to sheer greed...Someone has probably told him it was too cheap? Or he has
seen an ad like my old one which is ridiculous IMO as it isn't worth that and I should know.

Keep searching I feel sorry for you as it is a Minefield (Glad I'm out of it)

[cliff wilkins]

Thanks Andy.
Lucky I did not travel to view it time and cost wise and then be told oh by the way its gone up 2k.
Out of principal regardless weather it's worth the extra leaves a nasty taste .
Cliff.
Thanks again.

[andyd]

Hi Cliff,
I thought the car seemed on the 'Cheap Side' going by the details in the ad, but surely he should have done his 'Homework' before advertising it not put it up when he thought he got it wrong.
It may well still be in your Price Range but as you said leaves a Nasty Taste.........

I wish I asked more for mine now, but once discussed you cant decide to 'Up the Price'......... Greed v Morals

Unless of course the previous price was a genuine mistake. Although I tend to agree with you guys' cynicism.

[sheff]

It would have made more sense to put it on at an ambitious price to start with, then come down if there was no interest. Trouble is He's now lost at least one potential buyer.

Cliff,
If the cars not too far from you, it may still be worth viewing. And offering him what you feel the car is worth. Even at the higher price it could still be the perfect car for you. And it doesn't hurt to view a few cars before you buy to get an idea of how they drive.

All the best
Neil

Hi All,

Sorry to hear that you've been messed about, Cliff. I think you're right not to view the car on principle.

As has been said above, the seller should have done his research before posting the for sale advert. They've probably looked at other adverts and decided it was priced too cheaply.

However, the seller is free to change the asking price whenever he/she sees fit. In saying that, I imagine it won't be long before the price is reduced. Judging by the advert, I've seen better looking cars for the money.

Andrew.
