Buy my Mondeo

Post by tim »

So the trusty Titty-X is for sale. On ebay now £500 no reserve for a week. Someone may get a real bargain.

https://ebay.us/m/tHywuy

A car I bought for a stop-gap after Maurice had to be put to sleep I ended up keeping for 21,000 miles and 2 year 2 months. I wouldn't be surprised if it would do another 100k, but who knows eh? I will miss it. Torquey as fuck, goes very well, super super comfy and refined on a long journey. 9/10 would recommend.

Love a Tim advert. Always well written, though I was surprised by a classic ebay 'Here we have' opener. Redeemed itself with the capitalisation of CASH though :mrgreen:

lol thanks. I really wanted add "do not underestimate how quickly I will tell you to fuck off" after the THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE bit, but I reckoned ebay would filter it out.

Honestly I will scrap it before I deal with idiots of any kind :D

My neighbour is quite interested, but he's got a Megane 225 that keeps breaking before he can sell it, and a camper that keeps attracting idiots offering half the price of it. He's not allowed more projects till he gets rid of those :lol:

Yeah, he's got that impression from the ad :lol: he's a bit gutted!

(because I think at that price, it'll go fast and without fuss)

27 hours to go and so far, it's a fairly knobber free.

Yesterdays lol was

"HELLO GOOD MORNING, WELL WHAT CAN I SAY I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BUYING THIS CAR BUT IN THE PHOTOS I CAN'T SEE THE ADJUSTED HOLE IN THE WINDSHIELD. SO IF POSSIBLE AND KINDLY COULD YOU TAKE A PHOTO OF ME SO THAT I CAN BETTER ASSESS THE CAR I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL. I'M ASKING BECAUSE IF I'M FAR FROM YOU I NEED TO EVALUATE THE PURCHASE TO KNOW IF I WILL NEED TO CHANGE IT OR IN THE FUTURE TO BE ABLE TO DO THE M.O.T. I THINK YOU WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ME THANKS"

but the guy has 500+ positive feedback so maybe just forrun.

This morning's 3am message was the classic corker "Hi how much would you like please?". £1,000,000 Sir. In cash.

My only guess is he wants the VIN?
How about not having a sig at all?

Sold for £820. Happy with that, assuming he's not a dickhead. Have exchanged a few messages this morning and appears to not be but we'll see...

Spoke on the phone - he's getting the train up from Buckinghamshire tomorrow afternoon. Appears to be an easy transaction. Have relaxed CASH rule.

Sounds like a result then, nice one.

I think you could definitely market your services as an eBay ad writer.
Cheers,

Mike.

:o Well that's doubled the cost of it.



I can't give 10/10 for the ad, it didn't include "James Bond Spec" or "Too EXTREME for 5th Gear's Jonny Smith".

I hope it all goes smoothly.

He was the nicest guy, very happy with the car, super easy transaction £820 in my bank and off he went home.

I’ll miss it, it was a cracking motor.
