Post by: illyun on 10 October 2007, 11:05: I have to say, when I saw the ad a few days back only one word came to my mind - JOKER. Does he really think people are that stupid. I mean he has specified the car build to his own spec and expects someone to take it off him while he loses nothing?! Good luck to him - he'll be needing it.

Post by: AlanD on 10 October 2007, 12:07: Ã‚£1,000 is the equivelent to $20,000,000,000,000 Ugandan dollars.

Now if I could just obtain your account number and sort code we can transfer the monies into your account :laugh: :grin:

Post by: Cass on 10 October 2007, 12:47: Fair play to him if he can sell it as everyone can have a change of circumstances. He might also cover some bases by advertising on other internet sites such as Pistonheads or here.

This goes back to a recent post here about getting your deposit back from a VW dealer if you wish to cancel an order. Too late in this case as the build date is imminent.

Nice colour and spec though but not quite perfect, it's not BLACK :grin:

why is he a muppet? :undecided:
why are we so quick to judge people?
He may have had some problems, and now tries to get out of the contract without a loss. There is a russian proverb: "a try is not torture". He tried to be smart, it did not work, ok, but why is he then a muppet? :undecided:

I don't know why you get so angry about this. This guy is not fooling anybody, he states clearly what he is selling.

I don't understand all the aggression and gloating some of you show here. :sad:
