That gets stupid p/x - swap offers when your car is for sale?

Really grinds my gears!

Lol, we got offered cash (nowhere near enough + a GENERATOR) LOL.

Our last offer is about to be concluded and unbeknown to the potential buyer, we know he's a Scoobynetter who has made quite possibly the dumbest offer yet, lol.

Boro, when i had my Escort Cosworth up for sale. I had every monkey and his mate trying it on. All stupidly overpriced and over glorified. One example was a Golf R32, over average miles, over average owners, well under average spec (peasent spec) and average condition. He recco'd it was worth 12K. i pointed out that it had a crap spec and it was actually crap. It's still on pistonheads and now at 9K and he still cant shift it I therefore decided to keep my cossy, and with all the crap out there i'm glad i did. After all it's only going up in value

Webby.

Mate,

when I was recently selling my skyline I got offered (even though all my ad's said no p/x or swaps) a quad bike, a motorbike, a 150k mile P reg vectra, 306 diesel, R reg corsa on 18's.

Then there were the people who offered stupid cash amounts......£1000 under the asking price

Would this happen if you sold a plain Ford Escort?
