How does that work out drew? potential customer probably used it as an excuse to say no to you

Calm and patience is key, keep your cool man someone will buy it eventually

You need to calm down mate

no cookie. i didnt make the appointment in time but its rebooked for tomorrow. i had it up on my brothers ramp yest for a final check etc. and all is well. so hoping fingers crossed it goes straight thru. had a guy interested in it, as soon as he looked on here at all the comments and he included what a saga finally pushed him away. if the car does pass which im sure it will, il put it on ebay 1 last time, if no luck, il KEEP it in my brothers garage until im a grey old man... then were see who wants it in a few years time hahahaha.

Hmmm.. I would have thought it was the comments from long term keepers that kept saying you car was over priced and other comments that caused him to back out. I do not, and would never believe that some one backed out of a sale because somebody wrote 'what a saga' I think you need to take a long hard look at why this is not selling....start in the mirror perhaps?

People have been massively helpful in this thread. From what i've read I wouldn't buy a f***ing hat from you.

Come back to planet earth, stop fudging vital information, having hugely varying prices and advertise your car with a clear and informative description before you upset an innocent buyer.

Stop being hysterical, Drew. Consistency is the key.

And not writing random sentences in caps.
