pfenlon Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Hello Neil, this car has been on offer for a while, I thought it very good value and not a bit expensive. Please explain why the man needs to get out more, Have you offered him the asking price, I think we should be told, to understand your initial thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clarkey Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Come on Neil Spill the beans, we are all very intrigued Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PILKIE Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) Cant you just hit the buy it now and then sort out the method of payment? Fly out yourself,meet up with your guys,arrange to get the cash,and transport sorted when you arrive!! Once he has listed it and you have committed to buy it!,then only a "Not significantly as described" reason can the sale be aborted by yourself! If you then commit funds for its examination by your chosen specialist etc,and then he pulls out,just because he has changed his mind "AGAIN" you are within your rights to be re-imbursed by him for your expenses! Talking over the phone and getting an inspection,is not making a 100% commitment to buy! DONT GIVE UP YET!!! GO ON!! HIT THE BUY IT NOW!! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!! IT IS WELL WORTH IT!! I am still VERY tempted to go for it!! Edited February 9, 2010 by PILKIE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

North London Mike Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 ? I do not find it funny ------------------------------------------------------------- Neil No disrespect intended, just trying to lighten the mood, you're obviously still quite miffed with this guy. However, I have to agree with the guys (and my earlier comment) Looks a really nice car, and money is about right if as per the photos so come on, what went wrong................. Or a Pilkie suggested, call his bluff, press the button Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblenk Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Neil we spoke at the weekend about this, i was looking forward to a spin i know how it is as i missed out on that white 6, however things happen for reasons not always clear at the time i have found people on ebay list things but they get cold feet when dealing with other countries and prefer if someone bought it locally if you know what i mean i presume the white 5 is still with you chin up cheers david Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan atkinson Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I wonder what the other side to this story is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PILKIE Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I was in contact with the seller last night for a look see at how the ground lay. Its still for sale,so he says press buy now and pay deposit and its yours! Arrange shipper to collect at a time convenient to him,and pay balance in person if you come along to supervise the collection and see it on its way! Whoever gets it will get a great car I reckon. He does seem a little miffed at having to part with it though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alan atkinson Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) It's funny, the guy seemed pretty reasonable when I emailed him. He welcomes inspections and looking at google maps, he can't be more than 20 miles from SFO - how much is a flight from the UK these days anyway?

88V8 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Buying at long distance is a bit of a lottery. But for anyone who has the appetite and wants a hot Michellotti... http://www.carandcla...uk/car/C100789/ Looks very well executed. One couldn't build it for that price. Mind you, it sold on eBay last year for a lot less. Ivor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Fremont Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I've already weighed in against this '250 and am surprised at the level of ( enduring ) interest When a deal resists consummation it can be a blessing in disguise Our guardian angels do come through for us sometimes... We all know pictures lie ( with some exceptions to prove the rule ) so disappointment when seeing in the flesh is to be expected. Take a pass and be happy, I say!
