found this car being sold privatly 2 weeks ago for 17.5k offered 14.5k for it
seller told me he got 16.5k for it.

it is an se that had the nasty 17" wheels on it , no doubt this guy has a shedload of replica rs6 wheels to shove on them along with 6k markup

only word i can think off is well "rip off" :mad:

Erm, not sure I'd agree tbh - if a dealer offers to buy a car for more money than a private punter will wave under his nose, because the dealer sniffs the potential for a mark up to his advantage when sold with dealer facilities, what's wrong with that?

If it hangs around the price will drop but it'll still probably turn a profit.

This of course assumes the seller did indeed get £16.5k for it, rather than less than you offered......

Puzzled a bit as to why your upset? Just because you didn't get the car you wanted?

Yep, I can't see how he's a thief. No one HAS to buy this car from them.
Keep looking and you'll find what you want, and just put this one down to experience.
BTW careful what you post, with all that's being cracking off about libel lately

Thief? It's business, plain and simple.

agreed edited to rip off

True but considering i have tried to buy a few cars from dealers and asked for a a lousey 2k off and laughed at like i have personally insulted them.

Like you say business is business why not accept my offer and move on to the next one ?, a 6k markup just makes me see red.

he has another one with b&o which went through bca couple of months ago 07 plate , up for 17k with 76k miles, 6k or more is the norm with this chap.

Good on him, if he can get it, why wouldn't he charge as much mark up as possible? Oscar only buys *the* best cars, he (and I) know there are people out there willing to pay a premuim for the best example. He's not ripping anyone off at all, he's been in the business long enough and has a business model that clearly works for him. Offering £14.5k for a car advertised at £17.5k is a pi5s take. I'm surprised he even bothered getting back to you with such an insulting offer. :rolleyes:

only going by cap valuations , and that car is hardly the best.

a big stereo and sports seats no other options , swapping the genuine wheels to some replica`s and forgeting to put SE on the add :ROFL: i wish i paid the 16.5k for it , if their are silly people out there willing to pay that for an obsolete model, after 3 years i would get my money back.

Are you surprised? After trying to "buy a few cars" I'd have thought you'd realise you going too low to be honest.

That 2009 A8 is worth way way way more than 14.5k, 16.5k would have been a steal IMHO, it's only just over 3 years old!

Spec wise, first off I doubt they are replica wheels, and even if he does have a shed load, he still had to buy them from somewhere! Other than that, it has the very desirable B&O, HARD DRIVE nav, AMI & DAB, 1 owner from new with FASH, light package, keyless entry with fingerprint recognition and I'm pretty sure the leather is the optional extra (a lot extra!) leather too.

It's taxed and MOT'd, prepared for sale and comes with a 2 year warranty! It's worth at least 20k all day long.

As for Oscar himself, I found him a bit 'off' over the telephone to be honest, but found him a pretty nice guy in person when I went to look at a D2 S8 a few weeks ago - I may have bought that car, but ultimately the cream interior had not been very well looked after and was very mucky so walked away to wait for a black interior car (maybe). It was smoking a bit from the back of the engine, but sounded sweet, suspect the smoking was nothing major, just a couple of gaskets or something similar.

i was looking for a sport its an SE so i took a punt on it , never mind the b&o is bling over function. still an SE at the end of the day.
