Default Well, the Octie may have sold this time - 02-10-2007 , 11:49 AM






Got a call from a woman with an eastern european accent and very little
english about it.

Then a bit later a bloke from Wrexham phoned and asked for directions.
He came, with another welsh couple and an eastern european couple.

She spoke very broken english, and he spoke nothing.

Checked it over, took them out for a drive. They knocked me down from
£1800 to £1650. He was driving a Rover 200.

They said they would come back tomorrow with the money, but didn't have
a deposit. I told them to ring tonight to confirm they had the cash and
were coming back as I have someone else who is wanted to come see it
Thursday.

We'll see. Part of me thinks they will be back, but I reckon it might be
too rich as they started at £1400 and didn't want to go much past £1600..
It wasn't until I took them for the run that they agreed to go to the
£1650 that I wanted.

Polish by the sounds of the accent.

£1700, but I swapped the factory low power tape for a cheap goodmans MP3
player, and gave it the missed service to bring it back upto date, so
£1800 was about what it cost me.

No sign. I rang the english guy that came with them, and he rejected the
call.

I've texted him "I take it they don't want the Octavia then?" I expect
that to get ignored too.

Unlucky, I hate cunts like that. What's so hard about calling and just
saying you've changed your mind.

That was next doors house.
And their landlord is a roofer by trade. He has his own tame Poles I
think.
