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). :mrgreen:

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.

You never know. Frankie might like to have curvaceous, sexy Scarlett for company. :lol: She'd keep him out of mischief. ;)

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.

I think Ed would be proud!!

Right now Ed's tearing his hair out wondering if his time and effort was wasted.
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. ::mgun:

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.

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.
Like you said, it's not as easy in the real world as Mike makes it look.
