Re: Project Wheeler Dealer
Thanks Dave. I've taken the Edd China hat off now and put the Mike Brewer hat back on. I'm putting the car up for sale this week but before I advertise it in Dubizzle, I'm going to phone the previous owner and give him the first option to buy it back (at a higher price of course).

I'm beginning to wonder if The Great Guy in The Sky wants me to keep it.

Re: Project Wheeler Dealer
Well, in the end that's what I've decided to do. I got fed up with people trying to bargain with me over the phone and making silly offers without even viewing the car (only three people actually took it for a test drive in a period of 5 months). I'll just do some low cost upgrades to the car and run it for a few months. In the meantime hopefully a friend or acquaintance may decide to make me an offer.DesertDawg wrote:I vote 'Keep It'!!

You never know. Frankie might like to have curvaceous, sexy Scarlett for company. She'd keep him out of mischief.DesertDawg wrote:Don't look at me! I have more than enough on my plate with Frankenstein.

Re: Project Wheeler Dealer
I've put the car back on the market now that the summer holidays are over and more people are back in town. See the for sale section.

Right now Ed's tearing his hair out wondering if his time and effort was wasted.DesertDawg wrote:Hi Dino,
I think Ed would be proud!!

The car looks great, runs great, has insurance valid for another 8 months, and is surely worth a lot more than the 8000 AED that's been offered so far.
I've seen much worse cars sold for a higher price than that.

Re: Project Wheeler Dealer
Hmmm. Should have been sold in short order.
Mike Brewer makes it look so easy.
Keep your pecker up, just takes the right person to see the ad.

Re: Project Wheeler Dealer
Yeah, If I only added the purchase price of the car plus parts as Mike does, I'd be at just over 10k AED and have a reasonable chance of breaking even. However I also have to factor in labour costs, vehicle inspection, registration (change of ownership), and insurance so I'm set to make a loss whatever happens.DesertDawg wrote:Mike Brewer makes it look so easy.
Like you said, it's not as easy in the real world as Mike makes it look.
