If it goes for strong money good luck to the bloke, can't do any harm to any of us..

Would'nt it be a interesting development if dealers or more likely traders started buying our cars from our members cars for sale board for stock!

Yes and as I own it having travelled 200 miles hm with 4hrs.15 on a train to collect people think im turning a big profit well after spending on this car that will not be the case, as it wasn't as described by the owner with issues not mention so before the slagging starts facts need to be correct

Really decent margin well having had to spend on this car that wont be the case, with issues not mentioned by the seller and in any case after a full day and 200 mile drive Hm profit is not a dirty word but the profit wont be as much as 1st thought

I don't actually believe there was going to be or indeed has been any such vulgar behavior. A few posts saying excellent write up and even one from me wishing you good luck with the sale

It's a nice car that I was interested in, just as I was with the black 75 se which I see you've taken a deposit for. I think we all appreciate that folk need to earn a living, it keeps the world turning.

sorry not having a go !, its just that others are and it gets my goat a little
and im trying to keep these cars alive for the well being of the Marque

One of the many reasons I value this forum is the openness with which people are willing to take about the faults and foibles of their cars, even when selling them. Such honesty and transparency can only give confidence to potential buyers and ultimately aid any sale.

What were the issues that weren't mentioned by the seller and how have these been rectified? It might help other sellers if you detailed them. No slagging (at all, I assure you), just asking for facts.

Thanks
