Is selling a car normally THIS hard?

[Kikki]

So in my car for sale ad you would of seen the first person wanting to buy my car threatened to take me to court....

Anyways that seems to be all done with and today had a guy show up and look at my car.... After negotiating on price, he then lets me know he wants it, so comes back at 6:00pm with $250 short. SO trying to get it cheaper than it already was. So told him to come back when he has the money, he comes back 1 hour later with the money.

THEN asks me to lower the purchase price on the transfer papers so he wont have to pay as much transfer fee, ok I lower it a little and then he says don't put the Km's on the papers either....

After trying to explain to me what he was doing (bad bad bad English) we worked out what this bloke was going to do, change it round so the car "looks" like it has lower km's and sell it for a profit and rip some poor bugger off

I just lost the sale of my car coz I feel bad for the possible next owner being ripped.... talk about sucker

Anyone need any VX Sedan parts? were gonna wreck her now

No-one will really want shagged out bits with 350,000km on them. I'm not sure what the WA system is, but keep a copy of the sale for your own records.

Did he refuse the sale if the papers were filled in correctly? If you don't sell him this one, he'll find someone else. You're not doing anything wrong here.

And yes, a car like yours is not easy to sell.

Nah we refused to sell it to him, I'm not gonna let him screw some poor sucker, not just that but it an all get traced back to us.

Its not selling the car thats the problem, its people wanting to rip people off, weather it be me, or the next person to buy it. I'm selling it for $3500, its not over priced considering its got 6 months rego, running awesomely, the km's are high but ffs what do people want for $3500?

As long as you do everything by the book, you'll be fine. Also, if I was looking for a cheap runabout, I'd treat a high km car like yours with extreme caution, even though it's probably running perfectly.

Just sell the car to the guy. You can't control his behaviour and you're not doing the wrong thing. Why not just tip the RTA off about it, see if they can put a caution in or something.

I sold my motorbike to someone who I was pretty sure was going to kill himself with it. I didn't lose any sleep over it. The moment legit transfer forms are signed and cash is paid, it's no longer your problem. You're not the moral police.

took me 4 months to sell my immaculate vt with low kms back in 2005, ended up selling it to a girl whod been looking for about 4 months to find one as good as myne lol

They are hard to sell unfortunately. VT-VX especially so, since the price of the VY has fallen so drastically. And unfortunately the teen element of commodore-buying is generally focused toward VL - VS commodores. So you're in a bit of a tough market there

[AttaBoy]

Well with 300,000km on the clock, it may be looking for trouble... eg break down, new parts etc... I assume not everything is replaced.

IMO, its a good price but not many would want to buy a high km's car.

Eh I'm over it, car was sold last night

[Doctor Bob]

why did they want to take you to court???
