![]() I hear what you are saying Drag, but I was quite dissapointed not to even get a response - I would have understood perfectly if the persons concerned replied stating that they were unable to view... But to just ignore...?? After all, it was they that were offering...

In the other four cases either the car had been sold before I could go to see it, in the meantime the requester had opted to buy another car instead (in one case they'd put a deposit on another one before asking me to do a viewing ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() I'm happy that I haven't made any wasted journeys and I think I did something useful for one person with a limited budget, whom I saved from making a much longer one. ![]() Unfortunately, time isn't always on one's side and some people have unrealistic expectations, or are prepared to abuse the system. As you say, that's a microcosm of life. Regards Robert

![]() Well it certainly worked for the member who bought my Rover 75. One of the "volunteers" came to look at it would have liked to buy it himself, but being well ZTT'd at this time simply reported on condition etc. to the potential purchaser; who then agreed to buy "sight unseen" . Mind you, he was in France and might have missed a good opportunity if he had not moved quickly.

![]() hi
I'm the buyer of Ray's car, as he has said I could not have committed to it's purchase without the appraisal by another member. Its a great facility, I'm very grateful to all concerned, just heading back from france tomorrow and looking forward to picking the car up shortly. |

![]() I have asked for members to look at two cars recently in two different parts of the country. One was a deafening silence and the other members replied and warned me off both cars! Since then I bought a car off Ebay and travelled 200 miles to collect it!
