Mad Zero Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 (edited) I've viewed 5 cars during the last two weeks - all of them were advertised as 'rust free' - and all were rusty. Why did they lie? Did they think that when I see the vehicle I would suddenly not be worried about the rust? Bearing in mind I spoke to all the vendors on the telephone outlining exactly what I am looking for (a rust free TR7) - I find it very annoying when I spend hours hacking up and down the M11 only to be confronted by another rotten car! While I'm at it I shall also have a rant about the line "...well they're all rusty mate, it's what they're like!..." Utter rubbish! Plenty of people restore/renovate these things - there's several totally rust-free examples in this club for starters! This is all before we even start to talk about the price btw! Anyway, thanks for listening - rant over! Edited April 17, 2007 by Mad Zero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Kirk Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi MZ I think it is a matter of perception one mans rusty old car is another mans pride and joy. It is frustrating to go and view a car that is apparently "rust free" only for it to turn out to be a dud. Of course if you are looking for a totally restored rust free car it will command a higher price than the normal. But has you say they are about but I think you have to have a lot of patience and wasted time but hang on in there and I am sure you will be rewarded. Best of Luck Phil.

Mad Zero Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Cheers mate - and yes, I'll be hanging in there to the bitter end! I should've mentioned in my original post that there have been several people who were totally up front about their vehicles and saved me a journey - don't want to imply that all who responded were time-wasters, far from it!
