Angry Rant about selling car!

todays rant(s)!

1) why when selling a car do morons text to see if its still available? if you are seroius then ring!

2) why do other morons ring up, not ask any info on the car but ask best price, the price is on the advert, if you want to haggle do it face to face sissy boy, i'm not budging on the phone as you are clearly not interested in the car.

3) even bigger school drop out mooks ringing and saying "is the car still for sale", who work for some halfwit company who try to sell some scheme to sell the car, i doubt as many people look at your non existant mail shots than autotrader so dont waste my breath and dont ring back 3 times when i've already told you a) its sold because i researched the market, priced it properly and used a proper sales medium, b) when i tell you not to ring any more

ps if the do continue to ring and you have told them not to how do you take suitable action?

Rant over, thanks for reading!

Or when they say they will be there at seven and you wait in and no ****** turns up, always get a phone number and a name so you can call them back and be dead nice and make then ***** feel guilty, I said to one dozy cow that I had missed my lads school play to wait in.

In answer to question 2)

People will often ask questions on the price on the phone, some come a long way and wont bother if you cant even be bothered to discuss money on the phone. Discuss price by all means but make it clear the price you got to is the final price and not the point to start negotiation from when they arrive. Its worked for me the last 2 cars ive sold.

I hate the ones that phone up and say that they have 20 people lined up to buy the car and all i have to do is give them some money and they will get the people to contact me. YEAH REALLY!!!!!!!!!!

Happened to me the other day and i said well the car is being advertised in autotrader if you have 20 people ready to buy my car then why cant they not phone me as the advert and number are there in magazine and web site for them to ring. The bloke did not have a answer just wanted me to pay some money to them!!! They got told to F**K OFF!!!

If someone wants to haggle on the phone without seeing the car I just tell them I have some movement yes, I'll agree to haggle the price with you if you agree to come and look at the motor. Otherwise I cant take them serious.

You get certian sections of society that want you to lop 500 quid off a 500 quid car and take a Toyota Carina in part ex.
