Jetpilot Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I dont mind a cheeky offer as you never know, happy to just say, no chance, if you dont ask you dont get and all that, but, followed by the cash word like its some magical form of payment that you just cant refuse grinds my gears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read about them on here it'll be an interesting follow up call if I get one! ..........interesting....... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk do it and screw them over same way they screw there buyers over Hmmm just had the call back I've got it on here for £7700 told her my bottom line is £7500 and she's just said she will buy it! They will send a small deposit and then someone will come by train on Monday to check it and take it away after transferring the money! So I'm gonna go for it unless someone else it's buys it over the weekend ( for£7500 ) as I'm struggling with seeing her sitting there all shiney and amazing but I won't drive her unless it's a decent trip of more than the 1-5mls I get to do daily and I'm just not getting time to do any! And if I do my husband can't get in her cos of his hip problem ( which he got a referral for a replacement on today 😇) It's a shite situation! I'd rather not sell it to them to put it on their forecourt for 9k but it's a different sort of buyer that uses a dealer, I never would except for a new car which won't ever happen again! So should I hang out for a private buyer or take junction 17's money! 😱😱eeeek! Should I start a new thread to get opinions???

PPod Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Never gave my email when selling always gave mobile number and seems much better talking to someone than risking an email lol @ alize. Wait it out for a private seller as this is the summer months. 350z seem to sell faster in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzzz Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Agree, you have given private buyers the opportunity. The only positive I can see with Junction 17 is that they are increasing the general prices of Zs, you can really see this with the 370z roadster. Of course this isn't so good for prospective buyers... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alize Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I just would have preferred an enthusiast got the benefit of what I've spent upgrading stuff thinking I'd keep her for years rather than a dealer make cash on my loss 😨 but will take their money 😠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheoneneo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Had a look tradelink have a lot of 350's in stock whereas J17 only have 1! Tradelink are notorious for not removing their old stock from websites though, so what might appear to be a lot of stock only ends up being 3 cars. Well at least that was the case on the two occasions I went to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What good can this be to them other than sending money?? maybe Im just dull here and just cant see what they can do The problem is that PayPal transfers can be withdrawn. Even if the money is in your account and you have taken it out of the bank the sender can still take it back. So what they do is tell you they will pay double for your car and send you double the cash in PayPal. Once you have the funds in your bank they collect the car and disappear. A short time later they then do a PayPal reversal and take the money back. So you end up with no car and a huge debt to pay back.

Makes me wonder why people use PayPal if that can happen (as I have heard before) - I'll just stick with credit card and bank transfer payments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because many, many people are all too easily lead by marketing and PP don't usually include this in their adverts for some reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
