Do any other sellers gate plagued with absolute timewasters? Measure this, measure that, how many bits of rubber per hectare are on the tyre treads? How long will the postage take? Haggle, Haggle - I don't want it now because I've read my stars in the Sunday People and blue is not my lucky colour etc etc etc.

A RANDOM DAY THE FOLLOWING WEEK OR LATER:-

hi, many thanks for your photos and information regarding your car.
UNFORTUNATELY, i'm not in the position to BUY just now as

a. i need to sell my current car to get the funds together

b. i need to PERSUADE the WIFE to let me buy another car

c. i have suddenly encurred storm damage to the house and need
to pay for expensive repairs

d. one or more of my family members is very ill so i'll have to put it on the back
burner just now - but THANKS for your time..

e. it's just a BIT TOO FAR TO TRAVEL but best of luck in your sale

f. i'd really rather have a capri

g. i prefer the mk 3 cortina - it's just MORE me

h. it's beyond my budget

i. would you swap it for a 1986 lancia beta hpe project plus cash MY way?!!

:evil:

I feel your pain but that is hilarious!! In summary the dumb questions and lots of photo request wasters are best ignored...they never EVER buy, just collect pictures...lots and lots of pictures :facepalm:
