Lewis Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I'm going to look at getting another supra when I get back from hols (going tomorrow and back after a week). What I was wondering about was doin a bit of a reverse on the normal scenario.... I was planning on setting aside a sat or sun and saying what I am looking for and how much I want to spend. Then anyone who wants me to buy their car comes to me and I will be looking to buy a car on that day. Are any sellers specifically open (or closed) to this idea? I havent thought about the details yet at all but will always look at ways where I can save my own effort. Obviously if I drive up and down the country all day every weekend looking at cars that costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time, however if people selling drive down, they only have to do it once and may well sell the car they have been trying to shift. Tea and butties all round lol Any comments? Could even make it a regular thing for people wanting to buy/sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Have you sorted your insurance out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Sound interesting to me. Why lots of people who are looking to buy all get together as well as people who are wishing to sell. Could be a great day for lots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 @Pete, sorted cash out - so thats a yes lol Now find that I might be able to stretch to a TT or maybe a NA Aerotop, or I may just go standard NA and spend some cash on it, really depends what is around, have only just found out in the last 30mins what my situation is so I really dont know what to do ATM. I'm going to egypt tomorrow so will decide on my return (as there is no way I am sorting anything either way tonight lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 why not snap up the motor that Terry is selling, P plate auto, exception car, owned by a previous club member and its only £9k. If I had the cash I would go for it. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale B Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Mine is up for sale if youre interested, not knowing how much you want to spend may put it out of your price bracket though see here & here Cheers Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Are you looking for an NA or a TT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 You can have mine for ...um lets see 12000 Ill fill her up, polish her and take you out to lunch hows that? PS actually Im not selling but what a cool idea 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 So I will not specify amounts types or anything at the moment as I need to make sure that all the cash finds its way to my account by the time I am back from hols, I just wanted to see what the idea made people think in principle. To rule out anything over the top I will say that I will not be looking to spend more than 10k and that may go down but will not go up. cheeers chaps, seems like nobody thinks it's a shit idea anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Well...from my point of view it would mean I'd have to insure the car £25 for the week. Plus petrol - 30 quid. That's 55 quids worth of advertising somewhere to someone that'll come to my house and probably pay more for the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Only someone desperate to sells going to come to you! but maybe thats your cunning plan! Judging by the prices currently being paid, I would say there are a lot of desperate people selling out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 Agreed dont know about desperate - but there are a lot of sellers at the moment and prices are getting lower and lower. -CJ, on a sidenote I sent you an email, attempted to contact Paul yesterday and left a message but have heard nothing back.

Darren Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Judging by the prices currently being paid, I would say there are a lot of desperate people selling out there No cars are moving, thats why theres 0% finance all over the place on new cars. Secondhand market dead prices dropping through the floor. Just check out that £7k Aerotop TT...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piehound Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 im selling mine and i would have no problem going to there place or them to come to me as long as its not to far, i dont see a problem with it really but then if its sells you need a lift back so its the same as the buyer coming to the seller anyway, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Why not just take your cars that are for sale to any monthly meets that are happening? Set aside a group area for 'for sale' cars and then anyone looking to buy from the forum can go down there and have a look round. Like a second hand Supra showroom!! If all the people trying to sell take it to the meets every month it's free advertising - as long as the n00bs that are looking to buy know to go there as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 same sort of idea and probably more practical that what I was suggesting. I was looking at it from a selfish point of view though, in that I will be buying a car either this wekend or next regardless (so long as they are good quality) and therefore it's easier for me if I just get a few people together whose cars I am interested in and then they can fight it out amongst themselves lol TBH, I probably won't do it as it's hassle, I have 4 cars to look at at the moment (2 NA's, 1Aero and 2 TT's) so I will probably just do the rounds or get people to come to me and see what I fancy.
