steve hill Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Just a msg to say we have had a guy cold calling to buy the Van drives a grey Discovery in North Devon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevec176 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 If he gives you a suitcase full of cash why worry. If he wants to buy your van and will pay your asking price and will give you a bank draft, which you ensure clears first, then all should be well. Don't let it out of your sight until the money is in your bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney123 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 According to WEBSITE that vehicle is a Landrover Discovery, its taxed, no MOT Record held and not Insured. So proceed with care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Barney123 - 2021-10-12 9:28 PM According to WEBSITE that vehicle is a Landrover Discovery, its taxed, no MOT Record held and not Insured. So proceed with care It was first registered in September 2020 so will not yet require an MOT. But the no insurance is worrying, have you reported the suspicious activity to the police? Keith.

Den Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Keith is correct in saying no MOT required. Ive checked on the insurance data base and it is definitely insured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevec176 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Only joking about a suitcase full of money. Took me back to being in Germany just after Unification. The East German's would drive over to the west in their Trabants with suitcases full of money and they would buy either a BMW or Merc in cash and just leave the Trabby by the side of the road.

Forum geek can be a bit keen and I have had a few posts deleted. But he obviously puts a lot of effort to try and help and find the answer to posters questions. He doesn't shout them down with Jimmy Savile type animal noises and kiddy cartoons like you do. - and the thread is about cold callers so what is the relevance of your post? Personally I can't think of anyone who has done a deal with a cold caller and it has worked out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandy Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 "Personally I can't think of anyone who has done a deal with a cold caller and it has worked out well." I can - me. Some time ago I had an Austin Somerset in which I had lost interest but never got round to advertising for sale. Chap came to the door enquiring as to whether I knew of one for sale, and when I said mine could be he bought it on the spot. Came back a couple of days later with cash and took it away. Not particularly relevant here, perhaps, but shows that it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
