260DET Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 You know, everyone is a used car salesman and certain eye rolling well worn phrases come up regularly. My not so favourite one is first to see will buy Arrrrgh, G 1 Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted February 25, 2016 Moderators Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) "No reasonable offer refused" - Well I thought it was a reasonable offer ! Edited February 25, 2016 by PB260Z Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 25, 2016 Administrators Posted February 25, 2016 "Strictly no time wasters" Or "No Tyre Kickers". I always wonder do time wasters see that and say to themselves "Oh no, I better not waste this person's time, they put a no time waster warning in their ad". I mean if they didn't put that disclaimer in, does that mean it's game on for wasting people's time? G 1 Quote

260DET Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) I like 'regretful sale' lol, like I care if you regret selling your car or not. Come to think of it, why do you regret selling your car, is it a dud and you don't want someone else to lose by buying it? How about 'it turns heads' or 'it's a head turner'. Really? Do people turn to look or do they turn to look away? Perhaps someone should collect these cliches and put them in a Car Sellers Book for Dummies Edited February 26, 2016 by 260DET gav240z 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 26, 2016 Administrators Posted February 26, 2016 "Needs full restoration" - Translation it's completely and utterly fubar and I've given up. This is a non financially viable endeavor therefore I'm offloading all it's rust and mechanical issues to someone else. So long and thanks for all the fish.. Or Wife wants it gone - Translation - I blame it on my partner but really I couldn't be bothered working on it anymore and I could use the spare change for a couple of tinnies and winnie blues. Quote

PeterH Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I looked at 240Z in Canberra...the sellers father had the car to show me....." all rust has been dealt with" the add read .....and while we were in the car...amidst gearbox grinding noises and banging from the diff area with every gear change, he said it really turns head...i said " yes I can see why " 260DET and gav240z 2 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 26, 2016 Administrators Posted February 26, 2016 1 owner car - it's had 1 owner at a time... Thousands of dollars in receipts... Will sell cheaper without current wheels in picture (Usually gash looking 20" chrome jobs)... Best example in "insert country / region / town".. Won't need much for roadworthy, but too busy to organise it myself.... Very little rust... OR not rust... when advertising any old Datsun. Priced to sell... Why else would it be listed? Quote
PeterH Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 another one .....from a long time ago.... car dealers in Brookvale..... I commented on some repair work on a used car...the reply was "yeah it got hit be the southern aurora".... two car yards up the road same quote....obviously all drank together at the Brookvale pub.

AK Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Runs like a Dream - That could mean anything Really. Priced to sell - Umm yes everything has a price. No Rust - does that come with a money back Guarantee ? No well why did you say it? Purrs like a kitten - so does TOYOTA YARIS - Hold me back! Just been painted - oh god what was underneath before? Cause it does not look good now. Women Driver Only - Out on Limb here most women are not to mechanically minded - dont think about the ramifications to long Blows hardly any smoke - What the Hell Little bit elbow grease and she will come up a treat - and who will replace my elbows I haven't finished my reco yet - I think it shows nizm0zed 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 26, 2016 Administrators Posted February 26, 2016 Just been painted - oh god what was underneath before? Cause it does not look good now. Yeah I hate that also, if you've just invested in a 'good' paint job, why would you be selling it? My other favorite. Engine recently rebuilt... Oh yeah? If you just invested several thousands in a good engine build why would you sell it? My other favorite is previous owner said engine was rebuilt but I don't have the receipts.... Owned by a little old lady.. So who is advertising it? Quote

Gtv240z Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 needs head gasket.. my toolbox could do with a pair of Xray glasses too. super handy for diagnosing internal engine failures with out even popping the bonnet Quote
Gtv240z Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Have you still got it? and when you say Yes! they never reply as if they wanted you to say no so they could stop day dreaming about buying it. gav240z 1 Quote
blu260z Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 When they list Pro's and Con's and the Con's list is double the length of the Pro's. I seen an add the other day saying chopped springs and a straight pipe on a magna was a "Pro" How and when did this become a Pro!!!! gav240z and andyk_79 2 Quote
