While I agree that personal disagreements and name calling don't really serve much purpose on this site I think that others opinions on a car for sale can be quite informative. I myself have learned quite a bit about the good,the bad and the ugly on 914 from people on this site that know quite a bit more than me about the pitfalls of buying a "used 914". I wished I had read most of this constructive criticism before I bought my first few 914s. There seems to be a few people who don't mind taking advantage of those that don't know or haven't suffered thru repairing a misrepresented car.I'm sure I'm not the only one who has learned the hard way but again I repeat,I'm greatful to all the members here that voiced their opinions on cars that were not what they seemed. Most people here seem to look out for the rest of us that don't know everything so I'd say I'm not the only one that gleans most of my info on good and bad from the balanced discussions on cars,parts etc. Quote:"If you're a buyer; Caveat Emptor - be aware there are various "Resellers" who are scouring our classifieds trying to sell you stuff. Caveat emptor = Buyer Beware. Be "very" cautious about pricing. Do your homework. We're not saying these people are "bad, crooked, evil or dishonest". It has simply been brought to our attention that some are attempting to price gouge our members.
"Gang - Fair Trade is just that... "Fair". If you're haunting our classifieds just to make a buck off our members; fine. Do it at a fair price. Make no mistake, we feel this is a valuable service to our members. HOWEVER, if you're price gouging our members; we'll work together to call you out. " Anyone here agree? |

Simple solution. when posting in a for sale thread just start with "I'm interested in your car but"....
Here is the next problem. Someone interested in purchasing a car here posts a comment and a question in the same breath, Gets banned as he is going back to check for a response and send a PM with an offer, doesn't know why he can no longer follow a car he is interested in purchasing. Can't remember the sellers screen name, By the time he figures out it's not the site going down he has lost the option to purchase. So getting banned without a fair warning to clarify the parties intent could cause some real ill will. If I comment on a car it's because I'm interested in it and the seller either does not know he is misleading or does and is counting on someone with less knowledge to step up and pull the trigger. I will be sure to start my inquiry that way from now on. |
