I think I'm gonna puke!

A couple of years back, my BIL rings me to let me know he's picked up a '97 130, very low km's for about 5 grand.

Love/hate relationship. Loves it when it's running, hates it with a passion when there's a (usually minor) problem.

I've been green with envy ever since.

Today he rings me to tell me he's just bought another one.:eek:

2002 td5 110, again low km's. Had a slight altercation with a dirt embankment and bent the steering rod and blew a tyre. Very tidy inside, good straight body with a couple of minor dings. Started first turn and purrs like a kitten

Picked this one up for 2 grand.


Makes me SICK. :nazilock:

No, he's back in the "love" phase again. :(

[uninformed]

Could it be that he is actually bending the truth a litte.....

[d@rk51d3]

Nope. :(

A few years ago he bought a Suzuki Sierra.
Talked the guy down from 5 grand to 1.

Fella said he needs to talk it over with the missus, and to come back the next day.

Next day he goes back, and is told that 1k will do.

He replies that he had some bills to pay, and only has $800 left.

"Ok, just take it anyway."

I could tell these all night.
Doesn't matter what he does, he ALWAYS lands on his feet.

[wrinklearthur]

I am depressed. [bigsad]

[Didge]

He's obviously a real silver tongue; maybe that's his talent in life. And yeah, I'm also sick. Maybe he could start up a business negotiating for forum members

[DeanoH]

The term 'Tin arse' comes to mind. I've got a mate the same, always falls on his feet. :o

Deano :)

[Landy Smurf]

is he part of the mafia. or are those low prices he is paying because he is part owning the car or renting. and yes i did also perk

[d@rk51d3]

Just an update.

He's decided against the purchase, as he thinks he'll get a better deal with a new v8 cruiser. :what:

Thinks it'll be more economical and more reliable than his TDI. LOL.
Gave him the facts, but he doesn't want to know. So I'll leave him to it.

The TD5 should still be available for anyone in the TomPrice area. (I think)

[strangy]

PM sent

[d@rk51d3]

Well, further investigation reveals it to be a late TDI. :rolleyes: and an overenthusiastic seller.

His salibury in the 130 tossed its bearings yesterday, just south of Geraldton, and got a quote of 3k to replace the bearings. So now he'll buy the 110 for 2k, swap diffs, then onsell the 110 again......... :(
