Very cocksure fella, car came to him from a Ford main dealer a couple of months ago. Sort of thing I expected really.
Car sounds in fairly good condition, but when pushed about the rear arches he admitted there is "Some bubbling of the paint" so they'll be rotton as a pear underneath then.
Apparently, he first listed the car at a whopping £2k, but it didn't sell so he reduced it a couple of times to where it's at now.
I tried to negotiate on price with him, but he point blank refused to budge whatsoever.
I explained to him that unfortunately there is very little market for these, and unless they truely are in mint condition, they simply don't fetch big money as they are seen as bangers.
Either way, personally, I wasn't prepared to pay what I consider to be strong money for a 460 that needs a few hundred quid spending to bring it to the condition as advertised here, regardless of mileage.
I may have been, if the vendor hadn't been so full of himself, but that put me right off. I have a serious mistrust of second hand car salesmen, having been bitten too many times before, so that sealed the deal, or lack thereof.
Apparently, it WILL sell this weekend. Ok, best of british to you Fella!
