1973 911T CIS 2.4Ltr RHD Coupe Metallic Grey NOW SOLD

[Hawkeye]

bluntly, f*ck em

roughly how much was the deposit?

He paid £1,000 via Paypal. Which is just sitting there. Weird thing with Paypal is that it holds my bank details so when I make a purchase using Paypal the money automatically comes out of the bank.

I was a bit miffed when the Deposit was paid via Paypal and it didn't go into my bank account it just created a spending credit of £1,000 with Paypal which can be used instead of dipping into my bank... hummmm.

I could end up buying unnecessary items on the internet just to use the credit up.......... sorry I digress.

My plan currently is to see what I am offered tomorrow. If it is less than the asking price then I shall make up the difference with the deposit and send the balance back to the chap who messed me about.

However ....... everybody at work thinks I'm mad. They not only agree with your comment they said it in the same way !!

Larger institutions wouldn't even consider anything other than forefeiture of deposit. If it was a deposit on a house sale (houses and cars usually being the biggest individual purchases we make) then not only would you loose the deposit but you would also be liable for the abortive legal fees, mortgage, insurance & utility outgoing whilst the property ie re-sold, the agents fees for re-selling and additional funding if the re-sale is a lesser figure than the one which exchanged and aborted.

I have done some checking on this chap. Wow wee he is certainly doing ok. So my guilt of holding onto his deposit does not need to be means tested.

We'll see what tomorrows offer brings.

If you log into your Paypal account & then click on "Withdraw" you can transfer the balance directly to you bank account (without charge).

It typically takes 4 working days.

A deposit is exactly that...a deposit placed to secure purchase.

If you fail to purchase you lose your deposit.

Its not complicated and everyone knows how it works.

I'd tell him politely sorry the deposit is non-refundable. He might send you some nasty emails, even leave some nasty messages but he knows you are right and he is wrong.

period.

Andy ........ YOU ARE GOD.

Well that does put another slant on things. If the Deposit ceases to be a "Virtual Deposit" then there are plenty of people that are close to me who could do with assistance.

Had I got "a spare grand" I wouldn't give it to a stranger who has repeatedly been insulting, rude and aggorant as my first choice.

Cheers buddy...... hummmm this is real "food for thought".

Hmmmm....just looked at your ebay ad....has to be one of the longest stories on there ever. Whats with all the comparison to all the other non similar cars for sale gubbins????

And trying to compare it to a prototype 911 R first.....come on!

Not very complimentary to Scott (MaddKipper) car either...considering yours has been repainted a different colour and converted to RHD....not exactly 'matching' either now is it?

You should never knock the competition

Good luck in the sale though....didn't realise you had bought it just to try and sell

[hot66]

I hope classic Porsches are not just about the money for you?

At Silverstone Bonhams were holding an auction. The cars fetched good money so I looked for a good example to place in the auction at the next Porsche gathering which was Ragley Hall ( and Coys Excellence of Porsche auction).


The auction was awful....... It coinsided with the Porsche party outside in glorious sunshine and none of the cars reached any significant pices.

I drove her home and immediately placed her on eBay, Pistonheads, Classiccarsfor sale etc.

Here here - personally I'd take Scots gulf blue one over this any day.

Stop worrying fella - you're already up by a grand - just need another 15 messers and you won't have to sell the car at all!

[Hawkeye]

Thanks for the responses. I didn't realise that I had knocked anybodys car. Gulf Blue is a favorite of mine "not everybody's colour" but a favorite of mine. Equally I really liked Helen's 914 paint job.

In the comparisons department I put every/any 911 I could find first registered in the 1970's.

It was my way of offering alternatives knowing full well that I was due to pull the auction early. Which I've done.

I am not a grand up anymore....... hey ho.

and I don't make a habit of buying for financial gain. I had sold my 1969 911T and was actively looking for a nice 914 when I spotted this 911 and although it was more than I wanted to budget on a car it was a good opportunity and I ran with it. (Borrowed money from my family to make it happen) then continued to look for a 914 within my own non-family buget. Which I have found and am delighted with.

BUT WITH A LITTLE LUCK I WILL BE ENJOYING MY 914 ON THE ROADS THIS WEEKEND WITH MY INSURANCE MOVED OVER

All the best

[964RS]

Cool. A happy ending. Hope new owner enjoys their new toy and you enjoy your 914.

Come on.....tell us what it went for in the end

oh dear here we go...

[hot66]

is this a different seller ?

[Barry]

I'd imagine by the price, it's probably yet another lifted ad all ready for a less than original scam ....

[Hawkeye]

OH MY GOD.

Where the hell did that come from. ?

Cheeky Bas**rd.

I'll contact eBay immediately.

[Hawkeye]
