Title: Can someone help me? Longshot here!
Post by: RemarkLima on August 25, 2006, 03:50:31 PM
Hi all,

It\'s a bit cheeky and bit of alongshot but if you don\'t ask ;)

There\'s a car at Hybrid Imports in Liverpool that I\'m intersted in, but as I\'m down in Essex it\'s a complete mission to head up there.

Would anyone be able to give it a cursory glance in the flesh so to speak and just let me know if it\'s worth my time and effort heading along all that way please?

Many thanks in advance!
Mark

That is a hard ask! Everyone\'s opinion is different, best advice is talk to the seller, ask all the relivent questions, if it checks out go and see it, \'sides now everyone now knows about it, the likelyhood someone else will buy it if you dont attend yourself!

\'Tis true! I was thinking that someone else may buy it but it\'s a risk I\'m willing to take... I\'ve spoken to the seller and he\'s answered all my questions and it sounds grand to me!

But as it\'s a trade deal you can never tell ;)

True about the opinion but I just didn\'t want to travel all that way to see a complete lemon, it doesn\'t look to be the case but I also don\'t want to feel pressured into buying that car as it\'s my means if getting home! Bad place to be if when you want to buy a car!

I\'ll have to see if I can get up there soon then! ;)

Nothing better than your own opinion:D plus if the guy has answered all your questions it has got to be worth the the train fare / petrol money, but dont feel pressured into buying it, go with your head not your heart.

Very sound advise there! Pleased to hear it!

Right, my mission will be to fix up the race car this weekend then head to liverpool next weekend then!

I see you on the Island! I\'m just down the road in Noak Bridge... Sadly part of Basildon (shock!), with any joy I\'ll be on these boards a bit more in a couple of weeks!
