as much as its a cunts way if it was me i couldnt afford to take a 4K hit so i would have had to take the best offer.
i suppose it all comes down to how much you need the money.

I wonder how Justin would have felt if he had brought the car from ireland and i would have offered him 4k less

Boot on the other foot would have not been nice would it

You keep saying about the 4k , but who says he had to loose the 4k

I NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO UP MY OFFER DID I

and as i said , he was happy with the deal , how would he have felt if i had got him over here and said i didnt want it anymore

then you should at least half the extra cash with paul,if your a business man going back on your word and a deal is wrong,we have all been in the same situation at one time or another,a man should be as good as his word,your obviously not so try and regain a little respect and do the right thing

Would you be happy if you had sold a car you didnt want to sell to buy another and then get told you cant have the car you were buying

i think the decent thing would have been to keep paul in the picture and as he had agreed to buy the car first at least given him the chance to up his bid-if he wanted to.
to sacrifice the sapphire it must have been a car he really wanted to buy..........

how would justin have liked it if paul had tried to buy the fiesta he was lining up to buy?

Get a grip Paul

IMO You must have made 1000's over the years on deals buying cars off folk that dont realise the value of what they had and i bet you didn't worry about morals ect then

You win some you loose some and i bet you've won your fare share

You come a across very bitter on losing out, sore loser?

I will be 100% honest

I would have called ( me ) the buyer and said , look i have been offered 4k more , do you want to half the 4k

that way i get 2k more , the buyer gets 2k for the let down and the fact they sold there car etc

that way , we ALL win , i get 2k extra , the buyer gets 2k and the new buyer gets the car he wants

everones a winner

BUT, if the buyer says NO i want my car then 100% honesty they get the car

I am a man of my word and i have proved this as i have kept my word to phil even tho
1, I have had a higher offer for the saff
2, I dont want to sell it now

Fuck me justin who is twisting it

when did you tell me you had higher bids ? other than the one you said you had BEFORE you agreed to sell to me at the agreed price because in your words

You told me you rang the other buyer who offered 1k more and said " money talks bulshit walks " do you want it or dont you , and there reply was they couldnt raise the money for some weeks , and this wasnt good enough for you so you called me back and said the car was 100% mine at your full asking price

you then told me on sunday that people were ringing you asking if the car was for sale , you DID NOT tell me you had more higher offers and you were thinking about them , all you asked was is it ok to meet this coming weekend , so after asking that why would i think our deal was at risk

End of the day justin i took you at your word , i quess its my fault for being stupid to think you were a man who kept your word

No worries justin you must need the 4k more than i do as my word is worth a lot more than 4k and im proud of that

As for the fiesta , you know i was intrested in this anyway even before you wanted it , but im not childish enough to buy it just to piss you off , even if i was Harvey wouldnt do that to you and you know it . BECAUSE HE IS A MAN OF HIS WORD JUSTIN

justin, i,m not taking sides but i have had dealings with paul and he is spot on, what you have done is the same as was said above...how would you have felt if you brought the car over and he kicked you in the bollocks with a bid of 4k less than you had agreed? when you had another car to go buy on the guarante this one was sold.

anyway not getting into an argument it wasnt my deal...

him buying a car in ONE deal is the business pauls into, buying and selling cars and breaking them, restoring etc..... and more to the fact he seems a really genuine fella, and from what i've seen on here he posts facts and hes a man of his word. i've never met him or dealt with him presonally but a close friend mike owned pauls latest white 500 and said he was a really decent knowledgeable guy to speak to regarding anything ford.

the seller of the escos was playing off how many different people in a price war, without keeping the person he'd give his word to in the picture as to whats going on with the deal.

absolute cunts trick IMO what a fucking messer

I am a man of my word - if i put a car up for x, and i get offered x, the car gets sold

if another person comes along and offers me x+y for it, im sorry the car is already sold!

if however the first buyer chipped my price down to only w, and the second buyer offered me x, id phone the first buyer and offer them the chance to up there offer

But on the basics of it, You advertise your car at price x for the reason you see its value at x, or x is what you need for it to get whatever your having next! I have the morals to stand up and say if a buyer comes in and offers me more and i have accepted a price, to at least call the original buyer and split the difference with them or sell the car to them as i had agreed

Paul, I hope you find a better car to replace it! and im glad you took the high ground

i am sorry but the problem is with cars like these it takes a lot more money to build than what people think , and a lot of the people that are makeing coments about this deal wouldnt even have the money to do it with anyways..a lot off people are full of shite..

justin"s car is a proper built car and its worth a lot off money,

paul your not the best bidder in the world and at the end off the day no mater what people says your out to line your own pockets in what ever way you can..the saff i no what you paid for it and i no what you asked for it and you were not selling it for no loss..if you were wanting the escort you should off went to ireland and baught it..

i have always liked justin"s car from the first day i saw it .the fella is more than with in his rights to sell the car to who ever he likes ,and who ever pays the most for it ..

i am the new owner of the car as in from the night i paid a fare price for the car i didnt try to rip justin off .

i dont realy care what people thinks off me people that treat me right i treat them right,


thanks steven...
