I forgot about that. Don't really like locked FS posts. There are a lot of dodgy people out there and we get them on here from time to time.

When I read for sale posts, I get annoyed, either if, its too expensive, or too cheap, occassionally it annoys me that much, I will comment on the price. I only do it to help the person get what I think is a fair price. Funnilly enough I had not read the for sale posts for a while, and stumbled on yours, my first thoughts were," your having a laugh mate", you can buy decent mk6,s now for that price.when I read the ad, and looked at the pictures,I thought, if I was really intent on getting the best ed30 possible to keep for many years, I really would consider buying this car, well I would have to haggle it down at least a grand first, and I am sure the seller would come and go a bit.

On the whole I find the comments useful, you do get people putting up adverts for parts and someone will comment that it's cheaper on such and such a website and post a link, which is helpful to everyone but the seller, and so the price usually comes down - but hey we all like hotukdeal sites etc.

I guess when it comes to cars people are a little more 'prickly' regarding pricing. I for one aren't too bothered by that, I'm more likely to comment or get worked up when I see a poor car advert; it makes me suspicious when a seller leaves out really relevant info e.g cam belt change, DSG service, number of owners, Cat D this and that - but is keen to inform that it's always run on shell v power, or that it's been washed and polished every week.

Then you get some adverts offering to answer any questions, but then get all arsey if someone raises the question about a cam belt change or a service is due. In all honesty when I see an ad that suggests the car wants for nothing, but it's obvious it needs the wheels refurbing or it's got a couple of dings in the bodywork - I move swiftly on to the next ad :stupid:

I don't think garrardrj is trying to be challenging when he seeks to clarify such a key point, i.e. when was the last DSG service, he's been around this site a good few years, like a lot of people, and has increased his knowledge base as a result, nevertheless, new members or visitors may not have that knowledge and no one on here likes to hear of somebody getting their pants pulled down :booty: and taken for a ride.
