Funny incidents while buying or selling through PW

[fawi]

1000$ means a lot here but not that much there.....I guess brother u are unaware of how much people charge there.....my friend was getting 850$ an hour erecting telephone poles.....as far as donald trump goes.....he charges a million dollars for each episode of the apprentice and that was a few years back......again what I have mentioned earlier.....please dont do a conversion as it would be difficult to understand...the reason I said I will pay 1000 $ less was that I no longer needed the car thus wanted to scare the guy away....it was bought as my brothers were coming to visit and I wanted a car that wont loose money even if I put some mileage on it........in 2 months I drove it for about 15K kms....yes 15 thousand....bascically went around Australia.....bought it for 2700 $ and wanted to sell it around the same price.....had a V35 Skyline 350GT coupe at that time so dont want it to loose it resale and also being a coupe three people wont fit comfortably in it.......again the same point......did not need the car thus said that would pay less just so that he wont come back.....when he did come, had no choice but to take it back.....

yaar chodo bhi.....ghulti ho gai.....dobara nahee karoon ga

let me be clear.. i didnt say tht to tease u or taunt at u.. it was just to hav som.. i didnt mean it at all.. dont tak it tht serious.. yes chaddo.. mitti pao

I once saw an add of a civic 2005 exi. The owner had written in the add "Gari bohot achi hallat mein hai aur scratch less condition hai". When I went to see the car, there were swirls and Minor scratches on almost 3,4 pieces. It made me really annoyed at him and I said "bhai Saab aap nay tou likha hua tha k scratch less hai jab k cars pr scratches hein". U know what he said "bhai jaan lagta hai apki Angreji kamzor hai , SCRATCHLESS " ka matlab hai "BOHOT KAM SCRATCHES"
I looked at him with anger and without saying anything, I came back to home and went to sleep .

I have recently posted an ad of my 06 Civic EXi and set a very low demand as well. Some people called me up on Friday, sounded dead serious. As I was busy on that day and Saturday, I said that you can come to see the car on Sunday.
On sunday i cancelled all plans and stayed at home after getting the car fully serviced in a hope that the people would come. No one even bothered calling. Entire day wasted because of them.
Yesterday a person came with mechanic to inspect the car. Car mein itnay faults hain nahi jitne unn mechanic sahab ne nikaal diye. 8 saal purani car hai showered hai bonnet to hit hona hi tha itnay arsay mein he made a fuss out of it.

From the pictures in the ad, it is quite reasonable car. All mechanics are like this. Same happened to me when i was selling my Civic 2005 model. Same old stories by the mechanic, i seriously annoyed, then the buyer offered me quite good amount almost same as i was expecting after negotiation but i didn't sold it to him

I am selling at a loss of more than 1.5 lakh straight away, no lies, because it's not being used and we've already booked replacement car, so need to sell it ASAP.

Selling or buying in Pak is very difficult. When ur goin to buy people will lie about condition and when selling they will try and make issues of small things.

I have 1998 Rola with 7afe running perfectly well only reason i don't even think about selling yeh logo ke chawala kaun sunega. Dil mera bara hai for a change

Funny incident. My father and i went to uncles show room and bought sunny diesel. Around 12 years ago so we drove it for few days than we were passing 15 and i asked my father chalain 15 karwa leita hai. We went in gave documents. 20 mins passed. 10 more. We asked him why they are taking so much time. He was like sir come in inspector calling you we went in he was like where is the car? We said outside why? Gari chouri kee hai we have to seize it. My father was like i am in army you are accusing us. Khair he said sir app ney kaha see ley. They allowed us to take the car bcoz of my fathers army background and kept the document. Than the show room uncle said he himself saw the car file its 100%genuine. Sunny had a small chesis no and match kar gaya with some suzuki car stolen in Karachi which was later recovered but owner ney case khatam nai karwaya. We than got certificates from police explaining and clearing it.
But you can imagine the headache this gave us.

This happens hundreds of times in Pakistan because all excise offices only write the last few numbers of the chassis no. which can be similar across hundreds of other cars. Some are really bad, e.g. the old mitsubishis had a very long chassis no. but only had 4 numbers at the end - so you got 4 numbers in the book. lol

The reason is that they are extremely lazy and only got appointed from "sifarish" - they also are not much qualified either.

My mother's car's chassis no. was recorded as stolen and recovered in some police case once. I came to know of it through a freind of mine who worked in CPLC.

Its regn book had this stupid little chassis no. which I then had corrected to the full number which started with JHM and was quite long. Its a bit long process to get it corrected - the excise dept had to pull out the old shipping and import documents to verify it - verify because in Pakistan - everyone is a criminal first until proven innocent.

A wise selling technique I came across was quoted by a friend. His words, so I can't vouch for authenticity.

Seller puts up an ad in newspaper with an already reasonable demand, and arranges for visitors to come on a given sunday. Lets each of them check the car and asks them to write their final offer and phone number on a piece of paper and leave it with the driver. Says the top offer will be called by evening. My friend left his offer and didn't get a call. He called the next day and was told that the car was sold to the best offer.

No hassle, no fuss, no tackling dealer's tactics, no lowering down to their level to answer their cliche's which they use every single time to earn their 10-20k.

Again, not 1st hand experience. Would definitely try that next time I am selling my car.
