Both of you are well out of order.


Behave and grow up!

 

Maybe some of you Irish guys that have bought from the Uk could help me out by looking at this thread:

ahh thats my boy!! yup the irish!!

 

Shouldn't slate the Irish, because you've heard of the Nigerian scams. Admittidly, if any Irish guy offers you shares in a gold mine in South Africa for your car, then step back!

Otherwise, why should you trust Irish people less than English? People should be taken on face value, if they seem fair, then chances are they are. Still clear the money/cheque with your bank before handing over your car (as you would with an English buyer).

 

we have sold a few cars to ireland in the past (me and me mate) in general extremely pleasent people v helpful and extremely trusting

they sent us cash for cars never seen and arranged pick up themselves with a car transport company

4 seperate individuals too
i also have a chap in ireland as we speak after my scooby who will i expect conduct the same trust, it comes down to honesty on your behalf, missrepresent the car and personally i wouldnt blame him for going ape ****e

 

I do remember seeing a warning thread on here a while back about a seller being ripped off by an Irish guy. The thread gave his name.
Shame that the search function is broken, just to be sure (to be sure ).

Does anybody remember it?

 

Never meant to offend!
my son is actually irish ( i.e. born in ireland to an irish mother )( i really am the father )
i was not implying anything about the people! christ there are many people here ready to rip me off given the chance!

i spose it gave some enternainment for a couple of days though! not sure how much of the banter is light hearted and how much is serious!

bit of a silly thread man in all fairness, nobody here REEAALLY knows if u should or shouldnt trust the guy,so guessing and smart *** comments are inevitable!!

 

its not a silly thread at all!

is there anything i should be aware of?
no!

how simple is that! the answer could have been " yes " but it wasnt!

i wasnt asking about a particular guy but " scams " in general!( but obviously refering to the fact that a guy from ireland had shown an interest in my car )

 

i would rather buy from irish than english

jock

 

you're wrong there fella, i would have to be english to give england a bad name, what with me being irish, and a pikey, i can't do that.

p.s. i'll be in the mainland in march if anyone wants a bit of tarmac done?

 

something good may have come from this thread!

i do need my driveway tarmac'd later in the year!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sigh!


Nuff Said!

 

But do you want it to last for more than six months???

 

A great bit of baiting there my man, you caught yourself a big (angry) fish.

Good job birdy
