well, we wnt to have a look at the one i posted above and not long back from a 200 mile round trip lol

got there and the sales guy spoke to us briefly and then went off so we could look around it. was me, dad and my uncle.

they liked what they seen although one of the rear tyres was on the limit and the other wasnt that far off so my uncle took it for a test drive. not sure if its just because its been laid up for a while but he said it felt a bit sluggish to start with and jerky and that the clutch was biting right at the top of the pedal.

i looked and it seemed to have a hydraulic clutch - can these be adjusted?

anyway, it came to the crunch and upon trying to negotiate a deal, it was 4k +VAT, so £4800 all in...

the salesman then turned into a bit of a twat and wouldnt take any money off for the few issues they found etc, and had another ranger in the yard so was trying to get his skivvy to take a wheel off that one, and fit it this truck... but the wheels were all rusty etc ont he other one, and not clean silver like the one we were looking at - so that wasnt going to happen!

anyway the guy says hes not going to move ont he price so we head off back to the car when he shouts what were they going to offer out of nterest, my uncle says £4300 all in, the guy say, yeah plus the VAT. err no lol

got back to the car and dad/uncle discuss it a bit as they are going in halves on it and decide to make one final offer of £4500. the guy wont go lower than £4560 and they all agree on that price.

so dad and uncle go off to the office and ten minutes later come back out not looking happy. the salesman had then told them they were to pay the £77 or whatever that was left for the tax disc (taxed and mot'd till june)

it was at that point they both told him to fuck off and we left

all the cars in the yard were not that great tbh, all scuffed/small dents etc so i dont think we will ever be going back there to look at anything else, but while my uncle was on the test drive i went in for a piss, and there tucked int he corner was a white 3dr lol

i had a little nosy, other than some ghay racing pedals it looked pretty standard and had 53k iirc on the clock. didnt look 'that' clean, well not compared to something like rsmats anyway.

the guy said it was his business partners and hes owned it for about 20 years, and its not been used for 3 years or something.

he also said that they will never sell it, and ford have tried to buy it off them for £80k as it was one of the last ones made...

it was after that comment that i thought he was a tosser

oh well, onto the next one eh!
