Live and learn

And for all the doubters, i said i was looking for one "perfect in my eyes" not just a perfect example, obviously i know thats not gonna happen!

My max budget is £15k for reference.
You see a cossie where the seller is asking £16k+ and in YOUR eyes its only worth 12k, so youre expecting a concourse car for the £15k budget then which would possibly be worth/up for sale at 19k ??????

In your eyes of coarse
No, perfect in my eyes as in perfect for me not actually perfect

Trust me this car is worth all that money, my m8 used to own it and sold it a couple of years ago, anyone seen it the few times it ventured out to the Kent meetings will tell you the same, a very nice genuine cossie.

Over the last couple of years the prices do seem to have fluctuated, I mean just look at when Maria sold hers

There was a complete dog Ecos went through auction last year at £11k!

Then there have been some half decent ones for around £11k on the market.

36k mileage must be worth at LEAST £15k as others have said maybe more - perhaps his reply was a little harsh lol

I would have said the same to ya, i have had peeps offer stupid amounts for mine and it pisses me off. Fuck me you havent even seen it. You cant tell peeps what you think its worth if you dont agree then say nothing. there are plenty of cars out there which are over priced but its not really for you to say

Get an R33 GTR... they are 75% of the car..... 33% of the price!

R34's are BIG money to run if you want to use them hard as well!

Theres a difference between making a low offer, and blatently making an insulting remark such as "thats not worth 16k, I'll give you 12".

Should of just said you were a bit short and could only rustle up £12k, is that anywhere near.
Best reply so far.
There's a big difference between offering and insulting. Then you expect a decent reply back
