I phoned for a car in the local paper a while back, the advert was so vague I could'nt even tell the model of the car from it (was after an estate car for around 1k for the dog) the phone call went like this;
After around 5mins of chav kids passing phone round and screaming I finally got on to the seller
Me= "Hello I believe you have a car for sale"
Bloke= "Yes I do"
Me="Could you tell me a bit more about it please"
Bloke="Read the advert"
Me="the adverts very vague mate, i'd like to know the model, year, milage etc"
Bloke="No mate"
Me="What does that mean"
Bloke="Do you want to view the car or what"
Me="Well not unless you can be a little more forthcoming with information"
Bloke=" Eh????"
Me="Forget it mate"
Bloke="Its green"
Me="As nice as that sounds i'll leave it"
Bloke="F**k you then
Me="Er thanks"
And he hung up, what really annoys me is he probably got the asking price from some plank

Good grief, what an idiot. I can't cope with having to deal with any more dumbasses so I've decided to buy a Focus from my local Ford dealer where the salesman is really nice and the aftersales service is excellent. We also get a good discount on parts and servicing as my other half used to work there
