Title: Autotrader
Post by: Elite Pete on 02 October 2007, 11:50:34
I put the Elite in the Autotrader last night and ive had three calls already. The only problem is it's from the PITA companies that say they have a list of people wanting to buy my car and it will only cost me X amount. The last caller got a reply that began with and F and ended with an F >:(

pia aint it, did you go for one of their  'screened' number things?


Just looked at the ad, did your estate always have mv6 alloys, or have you added those?

"do you wanna buy my car?? have you got £3000 on you?? well stop f***in ringin me then!"

 ::)Last car i put in AT i stated no canvassers. When i got the call from those who've got people waiting to buy my car i asked why the buyer did'nt pick up the AT & call me themselves? No straight answer.
 When i pointed out the no canvassers in my ad i got "sorry, did'nt see that" The siilytart must've thought i was as daft as her 'cos she still tried to get me to "switch" her £80.
  These people are scum & working off a training book, tell them where to get off. They're only trying to get in on your deal.

    Party A wants to sell.

    Party B wants to buy.

    What the **** has it got to do with anyone else?
        
    Sorry, but i really HATE outfits like this.

I went to meet some guy when I was trying to sell Emma's fester as he lived a fair way away and suggested meeting half way. Big mistake. Couldn't get rid of the guy. He was sitting there repeatedly offering half the asking price and I was sitting there wondering if I could bundle him into the boot and drop him off in the middle of nowhere  >:(
