New Price of GTI & GTI worth 2011

[Jimble]

man A offers £1000, man B offers £1100
Whats it worth if man B gets a cuff round the ear from his misses so has to pull out ?

 ??

It's just a hypothetical question, I'm being fed the quite comical, 'its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it' line....

So...

man A offers £1000, man B offers £1100
Whats it worth if man B gets a cuff round the ear from his misses so has to pull out ? £1000 or £1100 ?

So because Man B has offered £1100 you'd refuse Man A unless he offered £1100? Even seeing as Man B is now out of the deal, and your best offer is £1000?

It's not a complicated question. The sh!te thats talked in here before was.... "It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it"

Man A offered me £1000, man B pulled out but offered £1100. Whats the car worth ?

Because not one person answered, but was quick enough to answer with the most ridiculous thing I've heard (its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it) I'll answer it myself..... its worth £1100.

I answered you, and your answer of £1100 is incorrect. it's not worth £1100 if you only get £1000 when you sell it.

Or do you fail to see the simplicity in that answer? I should think not, as simplicity seems to be your strong point.

Ouch!

I've already answered it dick, cant you read, or is reading not your strong point ?

For everyone else that can read....

Read what was said..."'its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it" now read that about 10 times as a few of you will require to do this till it sinks in.

Man B was willing to pay £1100. The clue is in the word 'willing'

There's your answer. Going by that f**kin stupid saying, the car is worth what man B was willing to pay.

I dont think its a stupid saying at all, it is a reality. Anyway, man B wasnt ultimately willing to pay £1100 was he.
The use of the word 'willing' refers to his offer, when actually the offer is withdrawn so it isn't really an offer because he wasnt 'willing' to go through with it. Say I offer you £50K for your GTI but have to pull out for whatever reason, doesnt mean its worth £50K does it? I'm not ultimately 'willing' to pay £50K.
Personally, I'd say a car is only worth what the 'open-market' is willing to pay.
Anyway, so our cars have held their money really well, maybe even worth alittle more, so what? Big deal. If you are that bothered you might as well as brought an old sh!tter.
BTW, have you factored inflation into your 'fag packet' calculation? A rough average over the last year has been 3%, that's about £750.   :embarassed:

f**k me, even Man A Vs Man B was too complicated for you. I'd give you another scenario but I really cant make it any simpler.

you seem to be missing the point, oh well, whats new hey!
good night Kev, you the man..

[PenguinGTI]

If man A is willing to pay £1000 and man B is willing to pay £1100 then that is a difference of £100...

Is that really worth getting so wound up about it.

A possible answer is that to man A the car may only be worth £1000 whereas man B considers the car to be more valuable (maybe he really likes the colour etc).

When the world is against you, turn to denial and swearing 

[R32UK]

Maybe I am missing the point here.. 

But if you continue down the route of man A + man B, then your car will sell for £1000! So what's it worth???


£1000...... BINGO!!!!

Its certainly not rocket science


maybe you should just agree to disagree with everyone Kev 

[DDg]

My car's worth £50,000. I know it is, because a man from Nigeria said he was willing to pay it... ;-)
