A Done Deal !

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

So, I've been here a while, on and off. I've not posted that much here, but the same type topics keep cropping up... Why cant I get a meet....How do you get a verification... that type of thing..

Here's my take... a comparison to the car sales section of DoneDeal.

So... lots of cars on view...

Shiny new ones

Shiny almost new ones

Desirable used ones

Dodgy used ones

Vintage Cars

Car that 'need a bit of work'

Big Heavy SUV's

Svelte Sporty Models

You get my drift....

And on to the sales...

Some cars sell within minutes

Others have hundreds of 'views' and maybe a few 'saves' but don't sell

Some cars are really desirable, but just ever so slightly out of reach... a bit too rich for the ordinary Joe

Others languish for days, weeks, months with no views and certainly no sales.

Others vanish a few days after cropping up.... where did they go ?

Did they sell, were they even real in the first place ??

But every now and again, a gem appears, it ticks all the boxes, colour, trim, price.... so you call the number... no answer.... then you text.... still no answer.

Then suddenly out of the blue, you get a call, apologies, I was away for a few days, I didn't notice your message. I'm getting hundreds of calls, all from tyre kickers, and time wasters.

So... is the car still for sale ??#

YES... a result. Can I call to see it...another YES...

So, you call, and view.. with baited breath, it all checks out, the curves, the feel and smell of leather, you almost slip into it like a well worn glove, so comfy and soft, yet when pushed, hard and rewarding. You almost feel that shove in the back when you press the throttle... fully open now, and it's screaming back with pleasure.

You stop... a tiny bead of sweat on the brow, was it ok ? will you accept my offer ?

Yessss.... Deal Done ?

Now for round 2... maybe a moonlight spin to the beach..

How many miles on her. Can I take her for a test drive.

The arse is a bit rattly but she's a nice tight front end.

Does she have a full service history ?...

More importantly , i need to know if she has a current MOT- a current vehicle health check is important

Ya never know- I might like to take her out for a ride more than once and maybe ride without the protection of the roof- love convertibles for that reason. The lack of overhead protection gives more satisfaction. Sure if it doesn’t suit, you can always put the hood on for better protection from the elements.

You could take it a step further.... ye know them cars shows... usually held in a large field, slowly turning into a muddy bog as the day progresses.

Just think of the type that attend

Young Fellas all standing in a circle, hands in pockets, afraid to make eye contact, and leering at a Ford Escort

Or groups of couples, dressed up to the nines, at their picnic tables, no one allowed in except those ‘in the club’

Then the others, single males, skinny jeans and check shirt, and glaring at snotty kids in case they put their ice cream hands on shiny paintwork.

Finally the ‘aul lads’ the’ve seen it all, they’ve nothing to prove anymore, happy and secure that they’ll have a ride home

Fab is like that, all shapes and sizes, but with one thing in common !!
