sadida20 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Why when you sell your car does everyone think they can get the hell bargin, or that they dont know the first thing about what they are buying. You advertise it for a certain price but they still try and offer you half..\ i think its just trade me to be honest. Sorry guys there is my gripe on a friday...

Apex 693 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 I find if you ask what a car is worth it helps, also helps if the car is ‘rare and sort after’. Only car I have had trouble selling was a Mitsubishi FTO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Secret 2 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 My gripe is just the amount of people that are 'knee' as, but they never show with the cash? Or ones that want to come for a test drive, and you tell them you are FIRM on a certain price. They say yep, come for a test drive, and they turn into a car expert, say it needs work (it doesn't) and offers you a stupid sum, all the while wasting your gas and time! I'm going through all this sh*t at the moment. Sell integra sell! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oscar90 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2009 Pot calling the kettle black???? Dunno if that's directed at me or not lol, Can't think of when i've done it? meh maybe wrong, certainly wouldn't be a first !, was just agreeing with the OP, It's there, some people are just plain rude about it which is what annoys most. Trademe is a love hate thing, some love some hate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martyyn 2 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 Ive been on both sides of the fence. I had some stupidly low offers when selling cars but always got my price in the end and it would probably make you cry if I told you what I paid for the 'is'. Its all part and parcel of selling and buying a car, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
39KiwiTouring 2 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 I did a bit of buying and selling nothing major bought and sold 5 times in 9 months, sold some cars for top price no haggling, when I thought it would be sale proof, then the one I thought would get snapped up EF Fairmont, no one pissed on the tyre, text with stupid half price offers and wanting to swap it etc, I had some wins and major bloody loses two.

JiB 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 I usually offer what I think the item in question is worth, and my offers are usually accepted too. Especially if I see a car's been for sale for a while tbh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 1 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 I just sold one of my cars on trademe, never putting a cellphone on there again. Had soo many dropkicks texting stupid offers. If someones keen they'll call. I was pretty happy the first person to come round offered me what I wanted. Could maybe have got more but for the sake of a few hundred dollars just not worth the hassle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 Yeah thats true. I got my 328 for probably about half of what its worth. Or you got it for what it is worth Best luck I have had was a bidding war on a car I was selling, I had three people after the car and I played them off beautifully, ended up getting $1,500 more than asking price!

nath 130 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 I dont mind that people low- bal all of the time.... doesnt mean i have to accept! One thing I will say that annoys me is when peope say, "Whats your best cash price"?" or offer "15K Cash" What else are you going to pay with?Peanuts, Dirt? Good call- i usually reply with "how else can you pay.. shells?" No form of payment for a private sale of a car is taxed, so no reason for cash tax- dodge.....
