Right, not trying to self promote - but I'm selling a cheap hack on $1res auction on behalf of my friend who has relocated to Whangarei for work and he could not be f**ked taking the car with him and trying to sell it here or up there so he's palmed the job off to me, of which of course I kindly oblidged.
Now I've got some twerp who insists that the WOF needs to be valid for 6 months in order to sell the damn thing, and that I can only sell a car 'as is where is' that has no WOF or reg.
Surely the less than 28 day old WOF rule/recommendation does not apply to private sales, especially ones which are being sold by a no reserve auction!

Tell them for sale on those conditions only. They are free to chose to not buy. Simple.

I had this mind set work in my favour when I bought my 200sx off here, they updated the WOF on it because they thought they were legally obliged to needless to say I didn't argue.

technically he is correct. But no one says he has to buy it if he doesn't like what he sees. And you can say as is where is if he asks about it anyway. To me it's a bit like putting ono. I'd make an offer anyway, what is there to lose!

Nice Minx! Hope you get some decent dough for it :) One thing I have noticed about Trademe is the vast stinking pile of bush lawyers lurking on the MB or on auctions, I think they are attracted by any operation that charges high fees, just like real lawyers!

If it was me selling the car and they started bidding I would black list them to save any crap they might try on when they pick the car up.

Totally agree the "As Is" solves most of these arguements. Then when you hand it over get them to sign a receipt that they are accepting the car AS IS with all faults known or unknown.

I wouldnt sell a car as is where is. I think it would put off potential buyers. When I see a car listed as is where is, my first thoughts are, why! whats wrong with it.

You know its a downward spiral when the first text you get is 'doz it go hard!'.

Sold several good cars that way never had a problem and all sold with Buy Now so your statement doesn't stack up I've proved it.

"As is" works fine but why put "Where is"! cheers stevo

If you reread my comment, I do not state anywhere that a car will not sell if you add that comment. What I said is it is off putting. And I have not stated that every else should refrain from using that comment. I state that I wont use it due to my belief that it is off putting. And I think it is off putting, that's why I wont use it. And if I feel that way when buying a car with 'as is where is" on the add, then others must feel the same. My feelings are, the less you can do to detract from a sale the better.
