arghhhhhh, i hate timewasters/tyre kickers.

somebody (off this forum) came to see my car today. they had already said that they definitley wanted the car and were gonna pay the asking price.

they test drove it, looked round it, etc, then has a word with his mate and then says that he doesn't want leather and aircon.

why the hell bother coming to see it in the first place if you could see in the advert it has leather and aircon?

cheers for wasting half my day for no reason.

it wouldn't have been so bad if they had have said before they came that they were interested but just wanted to take a look and had other cars still to see.

instead they insisted that they definitley wanted it, and then made a lame excuse as to why they didn't want it after they had seen it.

The guy who said he was looking for a mint sport with leather?

I take it there was no nasty supprises, and he made the excuse to save hurting your feelings?

no there are no nasty surprises, i took a photo of the only 2 bits of the car which aren't 100% mint.

Gutted for you mate.

Its sometimes difficult when it comes to selling.

I went to see a Lupo Sport a few months ago which was descibed as mint.

I took my workmate with me for a second opinion.

He saw the car had been in a full on side impact, wth a repaired quarter panel, door and wing.

The owner was genuinly supprised and had not noticed it in all the time he'd had it.

Still felt bad when desided against it.

Thats why I asked if it could have been somthing along those lines.

Just checked the guys posts, he had said on the forum he was looking for a Sport with leathers confused.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />

i had an inspection done on the car when i bought it, it is honestly mint, never been in an accident, no panel gaps, etc etc.

only 2 things wrong which are a tiny dink in the front wing from a trolley in a supermarket, and a scratch on the side of the rear bumper.

i had the inspection done by a vw/audi specialist who have also just serviced it.

tomorrow is the chelmsford meet so anyone who is there tomorrow will be able to verify that the car is absolutley mint bar the 2 bits i mentioned.

just had another timewaster come out of the woodwork luckily before he had come to see the car.

luckily i had a viewer come and see the car from autotrader tonight and looks like they are buying it.

All's well that ends well. Hope you get a sale. smile.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
