Is this a decent offer?

[Gene Hunt.]

As before mate tell him you will do the deal as long as he pays the charges.Screw him for every penny.  .

[ifti]

Yeh, as far as Im concerned Im paying him for the car and thats it. He picks up any charges buy his finance company etc!

[Gene Hunt.]

Thats it mate why should you have to pay for him to settle his old finance ?.

  It all smells a bit to much for my liking ifti.....

I told my chap I would have it, 300 quid deposit & collected in 7 days later.

Force his hand & say you want the evidence that the finance is cleared before you complete the sale.

If he wants more commitment, give him 500 on a visa as a holding deposit, which he can credit back when you turn up with the cash/draft.

Its a buyers market & I am sure he would not want you to walk away.

Good luck again matey

Im now considering letting this one pass and keeping a look out for some more.
I need a new car before June latest, so I have plenty of time I guess. I think the deal is OK, but £19k is really clearing me out, and I like to have a few extra grand in the bank just in case I ever need it....My budget was around £16-17k to start with, and I feel Im stretching a little too far....

Buy a GTI and remap.
It's the sensible route and you'll have pots of money left over.

But the looks of the Ed30 are nicer as standard without having to colour code and more expense. Your find more bargins between now and the summer ifti, so hang in there. Does sound abit odd the deal your backing away from.

If the finance wasnt involved I would have been much more interested.
The only bit I feel down about is the fact that Im walking away from an almost brand new car!

I could always leave it a little while longer, and if he hasnt sold in another few weeks offer him less

[pitch3110]

that makes a lot of sense ifti. And deffo hold out for an ED30
