    I appreciate that haggling is part of the process (probably why we'll end up using one of these firms that advertise on TV to avoid it in future). So remain optimistic, but be exceptionally suspicious if he seems to be a flake/starts trying to do complicated things involving money transfers etc. ;)


    This is exactly the reason why we used We Buy Any Car to sell Mr Goldie's car in January.


    I just wanted to avoid all the chancers and game players, not to mention people who thought they might be able to scam us because we are a bit.... errr.... older.


    WBAC was quick and simple, but probably not really best for a classic car.

    Well he is apparently coming tonight at 6.30 to collect and pay cash! Not convinced myself but seems desperate to buy, have made it clear i won't drop under 2k, we shall see. Very strange as he even text at 2am this morning.

    The panda is a very ugly car so it was purely as it was a very cheap lease deal that potentially may have been cheaper than keeping the zafira. We don't travel light and couldn't fit the kids and luggage in at centre parcs anyway :o but I shall hang on to what we have now for the moment probably.

    Alex i am guessing you have bought classic cars unseen? :rotfl:
