What a ****tish comment.

High miler ? 162,000 divided by 29 years......hmmmm, whats that ?

Its 5586 miles per annum.

How many miles has yours done and how old is it ?

A FULL history with almost every costly component renewed - no expense spared.

Drives as new.

Full inspection and health check with a full MOT.

Pearlescent paint and interior in superb order.

Is yours in similar condition then ?

Nothing I said was rude, it was fact.

Yes, my car is quantifiably 'better' and certainly more desirable, but this isn't top trumps bro.

See you in 5 years..

At least you've found a friend. Thats nice.

Thanks for the congrats, I'm not in the habit offering cars at a price thats unattractive to buyers....VFM thats all......he's happy, I'm happy, and as owners of similar cars you guys should be happy that these values CAN be realised.

Are you going to continue to embarrass yourself ?
Knock yourself out, it saves me the effort.

If someone bought it, it wasn't overpriced.

This has been a pretty sorry episode, and I hope some of the posters reflect on their conduct.

cheers

James

Before anyone gets too smug about 'being in the right' - in my eyes pretty much everyone in this thread has stunk of bad behaviour one way or another.

Best outcome:- the whole thread gets deleted.

EDIT: everyone except the Moderator.

Isn't that just a little harsh, 'mylittletony'?

I believe it is unfair to level that criticism at the vendor and the Moderators in particular. Perhaps some commentators may have been a little more guarded in their comments, but we see this on most 'for sale' threads. In this case, the vendor was big enough to rise above them and was rewarded with a satisfactory outcome.

Regards, John.
