Whoa! Just had another quick one!
Today I was going to see a W114 250C.
I'd sent an email to advertiser last night to ask if I could see it. Advertiser replied saying call me on my mobile telephone number...
As usual I pretend that I am hard of hearing because here in Holland I can easily spend the purchase price for a car on telephone bills! Bloody mobile telephones stick 'em up your ######es. So I ask for his address and a time for the appointment - hey I'll be there with bells on I'm keen to see the car.
Get just a postcode and a house number back.
Hmmm OK - look up where it is and work out train and bus combination.
It is in the middle of nowhere. Not surprising considering chap's attitude so far - he obviously can't cope with people!
Send back a mail saying that next week I'll probably be able to borrow a car and come and see it then.
I then get an angry response effectively saying "you'd better hurry up the car will be gone".
So my conclusion - seller is a first class dick head. If the seller is a wanker then the car will be crap (my first rule of car buying!) Not worth the effort going to see that one then.
