Johnny50 Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 The guy thats supposed to be buying the Civic was coming back from holiday today. Sent him a text, called him, phone is ringing out, left a voicemail.... No reply.... Been messed around 3 times already with the sale of the car.... Hope this isnt number 4....or i wont be picking up my new scoob on friday. Fingers crossed i`m just being paranoid.
drb5 Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Paranoid andriod mate. His plane was prolly late, then his taxi broke down and was mugged and lost his luggage. He'll still buy the Civic though.
Johnny50 Posted August 21, 2005 Author Posted August 21, 2005 Hope so Dave... Even the wife is gettin pee`d off at me cos i`m in a humpty.
Johnny50 Posted August 21, 2005 Author Posted August 21, 2005 I`ve even gone and done the dishes to get away...
Kenny_McGee Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Johnny, i've got my fingers crossed for ya matey :-) Got to see you back in scooby ownership - Edinburgh won't be the same. I got a front brake upgrade kit fitted by Chris at East Linton - working a treat we worth the trip :-) Cheers for that. Kenny
Johnny50 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Hey Kenny. Good to hear from you. Glad the car is going ok... Still sitting here with me fingers crossed.
Johnny50 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Tried calling him again this morning... Just ringing out and going to Voicemail.
Stiks Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Aw naw..... hope he comes good and it's just a wee blip mate. Keith
Johnny50 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Cheers Ian. But too old for what i'm after.
Johnny50 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Well, they guy just called to say he's changed his mind. Not impressed. Thanks a bunch eh ? No Impreza for me now. Aint gonna sell the Honda now, been messed around too much, wish i'd never bought the damn thing as i cant shift it now. Catch you all soon folks.
Johnny50 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Cheers Pete. Cant beleive what a mug i am... Even booked the flight down to collect the Impreza.
Johnny50 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Very much doubt it, it's been up for sale for ages, with only a few bites. 1st time fell through. (was supposed to be a straight swap, but the other car turned out to be a bucket) 2nd timel, the guy decided that he didn't like the colour, one day before we were due to to the deal. 3rd time, got as far as about to sign over the paperwork, and the guy turned round and said he only had 4k, not the 5 i was asking. Then this one...all set to deliver the cash tonight...and he decided he doesnt want it. Fookers.
ScoobyAndy Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 sorry to hear that mate. there really are some time wasteing T**** out there.
drb5 Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Why not just trade the thing in mate?! Looks to me like your last option.
Johnny50 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Cos i`ll lose a fair bit if i trade in Dave. I was getting the MY99 for 5k. Same as what i was supposed to be getting for the Civic, so a no cost Impreza really.
imprezapete Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Anyone noticed its getting harder and harder to trade or sell cars now? Markets getting really bad. I checked to see how much my car was worth as a trade in and he told me £8k. £4.5 drop in 6 months
oobster Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Sorry to hear this m8, hang in there, your car will shift eventually.
Johnny50 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 << I can't even get Johnny to take it >> If you gimme 5k for the Civic...i'll consider it
