The Joys of buying privatly, the guy tells me this morning that he has sold it to someone else for more. I had arranged to pay for it within 5 days.

I will wait the next time until I have it home before I post anything.

What a life, so may be I will get one with distronic and comfort seats.
I can wait till Xmas untill the right one comes along, and I have fixed my fianances so that I can pay cash there and then.

A sad :( malcolm

Sorry to hear that Malcolm, the benefit though is that the next one will have twice the toys and only cost half as much :D

I am very sorry to hear that, had that happen to me before at a main dealer believe it or not!! (was a bmw dealer though)

would a 2003 03 sl500 in silver with black leather, pts, command, 26000 miles be of interest?

Thanks Malcolm

Hi Nick, no, I offered him one but he said no, pay it all in one go. I had the car HPI checked, so I am only £40 out of pocket

That's a shame. I hate it when you have your heart set on something, and then it's out of reach :(

I'm sure there is another one for you out there!

lol.

Well as the autotrader describes: "find your perfect partner". I guess the SL wasn't the right "one" for you!

Would a lonely hearts column be popular on here? Hmmm.... Let's not go down the same route...

As Bobcat says,it would make it like the Audi forum, as for Auto Trader I am back checking the adds twice a day plus another 7 dedicated MB list.

My Ex went back to Sweden, no MB car, just boxes of money, is life worth living :Oops:

Can't say I've ever had the 'pleasure' of visiting the Audi site... Although on one thread I think I remember a link... What use is a lonely hearts column on a site anyway? Audi drivers must think if the opposite sex drives an Audi too, they will perfectly match! :rolleyes:

I remember letting slip a lovely looking W124 estate, it was great, and had the all toys and leather, sadly I missed it but I didn't have the cash at the present... :( I won't look until I have the money next time... :p

When you think that life isn't worth living, you think that some people do have it worse, you could be driving a Lada :)

its happened to me before but i suppose its one of the pitfalls when you buy private (the flipside being the better value you get for your car)

Thank you Ibby, been thinking, I am always modifying my cars to make them look newer, If I get the AMG body I can make it look like the latest model.
