Selling techniques.

The stock head unit protrudes 1cm out of the dash and has a handle on it so you can carry it around in your M.C Hammer pants. I can’t see it looking any worse haha.

My Clarion looks okay in the 80's interior... has red lighting too.

[Guest Simon*]

Handles are the new black

[Mark 178]

Take your catfight elsewhere ladies.

Don't make me warn you Simon!

[Guest Simon*]

Ha! I'll warn myself!!!

[E30 325i Rag-Top 2956]

yeah thats one that cracks me up... BRAND NEW VTNZ WOF!!

Fixed! Still a big crack up though.

Was looking at a rough E30 p/fl as a parts car and sales pitch included "you can race these you know" I guess he meant E30s, so I replied "what 320 autos with big fuel leaks and rust holes, really?"

I always play dumb when looking at cars as most sellers can't help but spin some bullsh!t and trip themselves up at some point. "Yeah its a genuine 318 M-Tech M3, really rare and worth heaps"

^yeah i must agree with the MSPEC line. i cannot resist smart comments when salesmen spin me that one.

Biggest yarn I've had spieled to me was when I bought the Range Rover and was told that all the reliability issues are gone in the MKIII ones! Look where that ended up... Still I never listen to others!

I think he means false LSD claims(?)

Another thing is adding a few thousand on because the rims are a month old... So? Depreciation buddy, they're not worth $1500 without tyres now they're on your car.

Love this thread, here is my 2 cents.

The tool who sold me my m3 said this " The stereo still works really well, look how loud it goes"

Like I was paying attention to what the stereo sounded like when I drove it for the first time.

Soon after he was telling me to floor it in 2nd.

He also tried to show me the sale price from new.... lol

[Nobimmer 694]

Yeah, sale price from new is the biggest thing tools come up with. As well as "think that's meant to be like that but I dunno eh bro" on any little thing you find that is f**ked.

[paulo 66]

There seem to be a lot of automatic M3s and M5s that come up for sale. The owners are usually pretty gutted when you gently try to break the news that the $25 "M" badge stuck on the boot does not match up with the 1.8L motor, velour comfort seats and 14 inch wheels...
