doudledoug Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Hi, Wiltshire so not quite so easy to just pop along. At present have my 96 year old father in hospital. If it does not go on 30th let me defiantly interested. Cash readily available. Will sort out getting there as I am fully retired so time not a real issue. Looking at the write up and the photos can I assume it is fully road going, is it registered etc. Price can understand where you are coming from, I have idea what I am prepared to pay, I current have a restored Ariel W/NG and seen prices vary by £2500.

Both in the same boat I'm too busy to waste my time with tyre kickers.............. I have a saying too..................YOU EITHER WANT OR YOU DONT . Anyway this post is redundant now so no need to comment any further , re my last response to your last message "Why is the price a secret" !!

doudledoug Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Reply no I am not a tyre kicker !. Now I can understand why some ex military vehicle have got so expensive, value for money. On the other foot I am not prepared to waste my time travelling to visit a vehicle for sale to then offer a price that does not meet the seller's price or accepable, price, where as if a price was stated one knows whether to visit or not.

Davey089 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Read again it was a general remark relating to tyre kickers or what ever you want to call them , not directed at anyone in particular . Haven't a clue what your on about with this sentence " Now I can understand why some ex military vehicle have got so expensive, value for money. ". Obviously if you really WANT a particular vehicle you'll go anyway and try do a deal ................ I went to France and bought a vehicle no mention of price before hand , BUT I wanted it , I travelled down to the South of London to again purchase a vehicle I Wanted , again no mention of price , if your keen and enthusiastic you make the effort ,its called striking a deal thats acceptable to both parties . Anyway can't get my head around why you feel the need to keep commenting on a post that is now redundant , the vehicle is now sold the buyer was very happy with it , he paid what HE WANTED to pay , just a note the buyer who bought it also has other WWII trucks and has been in the game around 40 yrs , so obviously knew what he was doing and also where the marketplace is for this type of truck .

"a gentleman" , well there you go you obviously it made your day.You have in total made 10 posts on the forum, THREE !!!! on this redundant post .Oh dear you went for the MW and missed it, obviously too slow off the mark , and yes obviously it sold SIMPLES , be something wrong if it hadn't at that price . I feel ever so sorry for you that someone beat you to the bargain of the year, the Matador , well give him a shout and you never know you might just get yourself the deal of the century . I think it comes down to, you don't really know what you want, anything will do if its cheap. I think your hoping somebody is going to virtually give away a vehicle just to satisfy your pocket , maybe worth thinking about model collecting instead . Also a suggestion ,try find something more rewarding and interesting to occupy your mind with, rather than wasting yours and others times trolling posts making un interesting comments , THEN you might just come across a cheap vehicle to suit your budget . Good luck in your quest on finding a cheap renovated vehicle , somebody out there might just take sympathy on your predicament and furnish you with said item . Many thanks for your non constructive comments they have been entertaining to say the least , you've given I and a couple of others a good laugh over them , so thanks for that. Anyway must run I do have other things far more interesting to occupy and stimulate my mind with. You will immediately as I finish the last sentence be blocked , ignored and placed in the black hole in cyberspace. The following will be the last comment made by me on this post . Good Luck in your quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
