Your most hated 'for sale' advertising pitches?

[Buck Nasty]

On the other side of the coin fuck I hate selling cars. No matter where you sell it, or how much money is on it, you will always get someone offer you a some ridiculous amount under and state they can buy the same car somewhere else for cheaper.

I had the same thing, I was selling my VT Calais International for $13,000 with 140,000 on the clock, I wanted a quick sale so advertised it for $2,000 under any other for sale, and as only 400 were made, that wasn't many, plus it was in imaculate condition as I do look after my cars. This guy brings his son around for a look, takes it for a drive and loves it, comes back and the old man offers me $8,000 as they just looked at another one and that's what it was going for. Hearing that I instantly think they've just looked at another VT Calais International, so conversation went something like this:
Me: "if you can get it for that, good luck"
Him: "oh yeh but it's not in as good a nick as this one and with more kms"
Me: "so you want to pay the same price as one in worse condition and more k's?"
Him: "oh no but we aren't going to pay $13,000, hows $8,500?"

I started to get annoyed about now, and started to ask questions about the car they just saw, works out they just looked at a VT Executive and so were comparing that to mine :knock: I preceeded to enter into a PF style rant and explain to them the difference between an Executive and my car, and if they wanted it the price is now $14,000, and if they didn't like it they can fuck off! It sold a week later for $12,000 to someone else.

i hate where your selling and people say "would you take [low offer] cash right now".. WTF?? im not advertising it for bottle caps here. yes i will take cash but for the price im asking

This does not annoy me if they have just came to look at it and no arrangement has been made.

In fact i have been stung from this tempter. Was selling a r33, guy comes to look at it. Likes it.

So asks if he could have it for $10k

I said no $11k is the lowest ill go.

He goes ahh crap i have $10k right here and pulls out a bundle of bills.

So i said lets write it up.

He played the game and played it well and got a very good deal. If it wasn't for all the people who liked the car and said they will contact me in a day or 2 with the coin and never hearing back from them, i might not have sold it for that price.

The worst was a guy who was quite an inconvenience looked over the car, took it for a drive all that and said he will take it. Then went on to ask if i could hold it for him for a bit as he is selling his car for the coin.

If you don't have the cash don't look at the car

had a car for sale a while ago for 11K. some fella rings up and asks if i will take 9k, told him no, ill take 10K but ill take the stereo out of it.. hes like yeah sounds good.. so i pull the stereo out and the cunt comes around looks over it and says so 9K? i say no 10K with out the stereo.. he says nah ill give you 9k.. i walk in side and left him standing in the front yard.

Thats a different matter. If a deal has alreay been made then he trys to go lower always tell them to get stuffed

[NISMOgemini]

yeah i basically did.. he did the same thing to.. pulled out 9K in cash.

My favourite from selling cars are:

1) Why are you selling? stupid question trying to get an angle for a low ball offer

2) Advertising on a forum and getting responses like "call me on xxxxXxxxx to discuss your car" for fuck sake my number is listed in the ad, you call me to prove your not a time waster.

3) Low ball offers over the phone without inspection, I only negotiate in person AFTER inspection.

My last three cars for sale have all been advertised on the higher price side. All have sold for within $500 of asking and to the first person who gets of their arse anf has a look.

I'd just say to them "So you can buy it".

[jesus]

when i was selling my 300c i got stupid ass lowball offeres 10 times a day from habibs on the phone

i think i had it for $50k, everyday id get

"hello my friend i will offer you $35k"
"someone else has offered 48k, hes coming to buy it unless you can do better"
"48k too much i pay 35k, my cousin can come this weekend"
"i dont think u get it, someone offered me 48k they are coming this weekend"
"ok ok ok $38k"

..etc

A few years back I had some foreign sounding bloke want me to drive to the Goldy for him to inspect my car (~150kms south). I said no, not interested, if you don't have a car get a ride with one of your friends. The next saturday he phones me up and wants to know what time I'll be there.

i also hate it when you sell a car, and the buyer doesn't believe a word you say..

"it's a green 4wd, interiour is only 3 months old, ..."
"no, it's a yellow 2wd, and that interiour came with the car."

My pet hate is when the homos put "its got a stage 5 cam / engine"

WTF is a Stage X cam or engine!

Idiot. Stage 5 is one better than stage 4.

Full race is one step better than 3/4 race.

It's simple.

ive seen heaps where there is a exterior defect (dent/scratch) and they will say, "quoted $10 to fix".... or replacement $XX on ebay.

i bought a tinny not that long ago.... a few cracks in the hull. not too much of a problem as have access to a AC TIG. anyway when buying the boat, the guy says "should only cost $50 to have fixed". ended up being a few hours work to do it right


how about ignorance on a major mechanical fault..... something like a engine knock..... "just needs an oil change hasnt been used for a while"

Already been mentioned but the 'genuine reason for sale' - really? You're not just selling it for a joke?

Immaculate for age/kilometres - There's no variation in 'how immaculate' something is, it is IS IMMACULATE or it ISN'T! Fucking simple you cum guzzling cockstain!

[Babalouie]

Already been mentioned but the 'genuine reason for sale' - really?

Oh, but "genuine reason" can include: engine about to shit itself, suspension hanging on with cable ties, and duct tape holding the rust together. Those are all genuine reasons for sale.
