Seems to be the way of things at the moment....
Went to buy a S2000 before the S4. Agreed a price with fella on the S2000 the night before and spent loads of time on phone and very happy with what I was told and told him its good as sold and will be there tomorrow and agreed to meet him 2pm the following day.
It was a rare day of nice weather, and 2pm pretty much threw my day as I had to wait around till about midday before I was all ready to drive to him which was 2 hours away. Of which just before leaving got a text say can we leave it today as he was truggling with time.
So said to him my day was screwed anyway so can we just meet up later that evening. He replied will get back to you shortly. So waited around even longer till 6pm before finally getting a text from him saying sorry but he has decided not to sell..
Instantly knew his game, and he had kept me dangling on a piece of string all day waiting for another to look at the car that must have discussed a higher price and sold it to him. Couldn't give a monkeys about the car, but we had a deal and the twat wasted my a whole day. Stupid thing was, if price was the issue I would have gladly paid him a fair bit more, he ony had to negotiate with me, but as it was he was OK with price at the time......
Dangerous game really as I know where he lives, his phone number and what he does for a living - I'm not the malicous type, but someone else might not have left it where I did.
So yep its difficult selling cars, but not much easier buying.! Money is tight and the world has gone mad.
