HHmmm I cant get my head around this..yep youre new to a car scene( and Country) you have Australian cash! you head for a place where you expect to find a decent set of wheels!! BUT after over a week of browsing and finaly putting nearly 10! TEN PM offers in on cars ! that are listed on this site Ive had one reply and nine that cant be arsed ! I can understand that maybe the price Im offering isnt what the seller would like,but hey nothing is selling fast anyway and Im sure you all know its a buyers market!! I know its not the UK but over there people know that your gonna loose a few quid on a deal! $1000k here or there isnt the end of the world,you may be able to gain it back further on down the line with over cars?.People are putting their cars on sale here with them typing full spec sheets half a page long with photos Im offering 1000k under their asking price (which is fair) and Im getting no feedback? I leave phone messeges,PM's and Emails ....Feck all!! I dont mean to tread on anyones toes or rock any boat! I came and joined a Car site to find a car...so what am I doing wrong?.....thanks for your time Dr1fter (Simon).

If you were genuinely interested in the car you would try to negotiate with the seller or ask to go inspect the car. You might even consider paying what they're asking, as you said "$1000k here or there isnt the end of the world,you may be able to gain it back further on down the line with over cars?"

been reading through all ur posts and offers....so far you've offered 15k for cars that are asking between 18k-24k...

Maybe if you actually arranged inspection before you made your offers you might get some response. There are a lot of tyre kickers on forums (not saying you are one). You are literally offering 15k cash without even inspecting these cars and appreciating what they are really worth? Show genuine interest and maybe the seller would do the same.

ya right about it being a buyers market. And its fairly slow atm. but yeah if i seen a car advertised. I would take mod, condition and km etc into concerderation and see if its good value. but 1k off the price. if the seller really wants to sell it. its no that much of a loss.

n15mo is right...

You offered 15g's on a car that was advertised for 24g's...

What do you think the responce would be...

Just a note, if you went to a car yard to buy a car you would get a markdown of maby 5-8% MAX....

So what makes you think that a private seller who is 20% cheaper than a yeard already. Is gonna take off another 20-40%???

Your offers are simply rude to be honest... If you have 15 grand to spend then look at 15 grand cars...

Pathetic time wasters are whats wrong with forum car sales, and guess what kind of person PM's a lowball offer. Bingo, timewasters like you.

If you are genuinely interested you call and make a time to go and see the car in person before making a serious offer.

Issh..see them cars on your bedroom wall (next to your Kylie poster)..Ive owned and shagged in better.You know nothing mate.I sent a post last week (sorry I forgot only 1 person read it) saying I was new to the car scene in QLD and was looking for a project car so 15k was fine for that I thought?? Ive got cash waiting for any motor thats on the forum list ,but only having been here 5 weeks and already bought 1 house,1 Mitsi Jeep,a 20k fishing boat and every odd and sod you can imagine to keep the wife happy,Im gonna try and find a bargain and if that means trying it on and getting a couple of K's off a car then so be it.The people who I thought were rude were those who didnt reply to my calls,pm's which they must of read? and emails! that is what I call rude? I even said to one seller I'd come down to Sydney from the sunny coast to view.Ive got no problem with viewing and after 20 years of car ownership I know what to look for and what not to.Anyway as I said I wasnt out to start trouble,just to have a moan,but for the kids who wanna get mouthy I hope its you I meet at some lights and its your 'ass' thats way back in my mirror :(

Thanks people..remember 15k !! let me know lol Dr1fter.

Maby you should have spent less on other things...

And more on a skyline...

If you post in the wanted to buy section with a budget of 15 grand im sure sellers will find you...

But dont wine about people not taking your offers...

Hold on i have an offer for you... Ummm can i buy your fishing boat for $10,000... Please pretty please...

Cause thats what you are sounding like to others who are trying to sell their cars...

OK mate... What is your 15k project car was once someones pride and joy and if the price is 24k the price is 24k +/- a couple of grand. Just suck it up and move to the next car you can afford and dont waste your and everyone's time with lowball offers that just insult the owner.

If you offer 15k and don't get a reply dont get all pussy hurt over it and cry on the general forums just move along to the commodore forums and enjoy.

Nice... Really mature... 20 years of car ownership and at the end of the day its all about how big your ego is...

Ive never meet you but I am good at estimating character.

Let me save you some time and point you towards www.boostcruising.com as this forum is more for you...

You will fit in there...

I just did a search of your posts...

You are an idiot...

You did find an R33 for $15500 and you offered him 13k...

You say you have 15 grand for everyone else then offer a lower amount just cause that guy has it at 15,500... You just want everyone to bend over you knee so you can give them a spanking...

So basiclly you have been asking for a car at 15k and you get one but then all of a sudden you have 13k to spend...

You wonder why people wont reply to your pm's.... Its cause your like the salesman at a car yard... SCUM

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
