All the circles of hell, or the rules of buying antimere.

In life, I experienced many unpleasant situations. In Egypt I was pointing a gun, I was driving the car on the road "Kherson-Nikopol", has twice been to karaoke a few times and the will of fate found themselves on the concert of Belarusian pop music. Nevertheless, while searching for sports antimere in Ukraine, even my "stress" psyche began to falter. On the head there was grey hair, and inside — the blind belief that hitting people is good and sometimes even useful for themselves.

All the circles of hell or the rules of buying antimere

But buying a car can be a real pleasure... Imagine yourself lazily opening the door of the salon Mercedes dealer, with the face of a man ready for the next few moments to spend hundreds of thousands a stallion from Stuttgart with the prefix GT in the suffix. Kind smile girl-Manager, you carelessly thrown the phrase "I want the same, only with performance pack" and then "Yes" the same girl to all of your questions and suggestions... But what good are search of cheap antimere the harsh reality of our countries?

The act of buying antimere No. 1: On any machine with a big motor and sporty image until you went grandfather.

After talking with dubious sellers, I realized that the number of "Greyhound racing" machines in the possession of the grandfathers exceeds all limits. Grandpa turns out to be only pretending to be weak and lost interest in life ruins. Actually at night they spit out dentures and roll out cocaine track from rocking chairs to the gate of his garage, go burn rubber. Put a couple of whores, they include a tape with recordings still immature rock of their youth and spend their whole night in the acrid smoke of the tires, pinning the tachometer needle to mark.

I know it sounds weird. But if not, then Naka x(Mat) all these grandparents engines of three liters, limited slip differentials and turbine size refrigerator? When I was looking for a car I didn't look at the Opel Commodore, Volkswagen Samantha or a Ford Fiesta. I was looking for the alpha with the top engines, frisky UMMARY, Supra, Suby, and other Audi S series. And everywhere I called, the seller in bad Russian has told me that just 15 seconds ago threw up this rare car from grandpa, which she stood in the garage for the past 400 years... Almost no one frisky older machines, according to legend, the sellers, were not in the possession of the young guys or at least middle-aged people. I have the feeling that the dealerships of BMW, Alfa and seat sales of turbobook before a single one is reminded of the nursing home. I can just see grandpa gulping sedatives and washing it down with laxative-like flies swarmed only appeared in the sale M3 E30 or 190 2,3 16V...

What to expect storytellers? The fact that the buyer will not distinguish the car from under grandfather's body in which life was less than on Mars? I suggest that all sellers rolling in his tender ears of the purchaser these stories to organize into a Union named after Hans Christian Andersen — perhaps together they will come up with fabulous new novel about the origin sold their micromobile...

But that's not all. Science fiction writers like Hg wells, would have envied the ingenuity of local counterparts of the automobile. Very entertaining to listen that standing in front of you machine, obernulsya around the equator a couple of times, it turns out spent his entire life in the garage. But enjoy ruthless lies about where it came from battle scars – now, with what incomparable pleasure... at First, this unprecedented scale "deception"(Mat), leaves deep scars on the fragile psyche of the buyer. But then you come in and taste listen to these tales with gusto, as if in front of you with fresh series of the beloved series... I finally started collecting this nonsense. It had everything: grandfather who accidentally doused his bimmer 7-series acid; wrapped in a knot spars from the poorly closed doors; and of course grandpa, who tinted tassel wing and accidentally blew out all the podkapotka with a full analysis...

Supplement to law No. 1: How much would you have had no experience in restoring a vintage car – "the seller's grandfather's car" knows better than you how to bring back to life andtimer, fallen into lethargy.

For every flaw that you will ever see in your grandfather's car, you will get a good hundred penny decisions that "Padawan" with knowledge of the case will extract from purses, juggling the amount of 200-300 hryvnia. And how to tell him that even the restoration of a living specimen could easily get up to 10K$? I would not say that. After such information, the seller will think you're either a complete idiot or a man of deep aching head...

The act of buying antimere No. 2: grandpa, who are you going to buy a "preserved" car, you will spend more forces, than to restore "tired" of the instance.

Sometimes a special case – the real grandfather. This is for the strong. It happens like this: you initially reported that some granddaddy (whom no one has ever seen) the garage is a rare car in rare for its age condition. You half-life looking for that grandfather, and the other half to convince him to sell it to the bucket. Grandpa long doubts: not to change him (for the sake of one trip per year on fishing) with his covered with dust, a BMW is replacing the car? After you managed together with the family of his grandfather to explain to him the advantages of rotting fields of rotting in front of the BMW, the grandfather begins the next stage of adolescence – he is now doubt that YOU're worthy to take its decadent Bavarian dream and drive it to another garage... After coming so far to the car with the smell of sage inside, you're already thinking about bribing grandchildren... Grandparents during the whole operation performed miracles conspiracy of such a degree of ingenuity that any scout tail between his legs went to the nearest grocery store to home, leaving his main profession as the Professor. One grandmother which I tried to buy a rare RONAL A1 wheels on the 5 bolts – specifically left me the wrong phone number while I visited with a request to help her in buying spare parts for its Alfa 164...

And the other grandfather so much time mocked my friend with the sale of vintage Alfa Junior that it almost came to blows. Then he was dying and he realized that his grandchildren will destroy his favorite Junior before the soul has time to leave the body. Then he agreed to sell Alfa to the person who visited him more often than pain in the pancreas. And you know how it went next? When my friend arrived with full of money pockets – grandfather gave him the contest! I'm not kidding. He clocked up something in a dual carb twin Kama with the words "understand what is the reason – leave it"...

All the circles of hell or the rules of buying antimere

The act of buying antimere No. 3: Have any car caught in the "wrong" owner is the point of no return. If the machine is too long been subjected to the pernicious influence – it is necessary to run as from the women at 4 in the morning about the plot you wish to associate with you destiny.

At the other extreme, faced with the purchase of antimere young people. He just got my license, I spent the money saved on school Lunches (I was like) on a piece of rusty iron with a tarnished propeller on a shabby bonnet and has already set some elements of tuning... Then the money ran out (or Vice versa suddenly appeared) that led to the sale "tuningowanych" corpse. And that is a miracle hanging by a website car ads: the layers of paint on the hood like the rings on a tree trunk reading age and the fate of the necro-Bimmer; modest bumper has long given way to their DTM/WTCC analogue of the construction of the foam; and in the faded rear shelf crashed cheap ovals the size of a bouncy boat (the ability to play music they are, however, far removed from the inflatable boats). Even the "loser" rims changed to a heavy, curved/boiled Chinese counterparts with the design of the first star wars. And all of this is photographed on Nokia 3110 and submitted with the text, which is the number of spelling mistakes, to understand what model the car is sold only by circumstantial evidence... the kind of owner for a car like carbon dioxide – the important thing is how long you were in the room with poison gas. And then neither you nor the car can not be saved...

But assuming this "carbon dioxide" on the still alive old machines – we do very soon "suffocate" in a world of such good and comfortable, but dull and soulless modern cars...

PS: the Second part about the history of purchases and searches my Bimmer is already in its logbook.

It is written beautifully with a nice slogan, but apparently the author is very far from the car business. Experienced outbid, looking at Tropea, in one second can decide to count your profit or to withdraw from the purchase.
And how much I was selling boomers, never said that grandpa bought, and until his death never it is not out of the garage rolled out:-)
The legend should be close to the original and embellished a bit!

The sellers are very different. There are those who are not able to assess their risks when buying a car for resale. :)

K
Kinto-S 08.08.19

Sellers, like people in General, really are different! There are competent and decent people.
Although not all are intelligence. I know personally one live example of idiocy the last degree. The guy who owns the pen at a large market in St. Petersburg a year and a half worth 3 alpha 159. They looked at least the year and a half ago, very decent. But that's how you have to be stoned seller not to sell any of these cars, driving buyers excellent (but, unfortunately, a very common phrase among avtoparkova) : "I open the car and show it to you only if you will be buying. You're not a Museum!". — EEEEEE. How is it possible to understand? Who came up with that phrase? In the end, my friend, since childhood, a history of the Italians and had at that time 600 thousand rubles in his pocket, just left in response to this arrogance or stupidity (I'm not sure how to call it).
I do not believe that during this time this miracle Padawan could not sell any of those standing in it then Alf for some more reasons.
There were more examples, but in a brief statement to describe them as something silly)

All direct one to one) Real grandfather refused to sell me his, to some extent already vintage Nissan Skyline R30 in a very bad conservation. The price cheat, the "I need it". Sobsvtenno, I had other worries, and I don't really insisted... And then she smashed the dollar and the price of cars has fallen by half. Yes, and he was disappointed in his son because he chose a relatively fresh Slavuta, is not a young thoroughbred "real" Japanese.
Later, of course, and the farm pokryvala places, but crime was nothing.
Just a little train and Zaim contacts with owners of the same car I realized that my instance is still very personal, and I did the right thing, that took him from the grandfather, who operated the machine all 16 years since its rastamozhka Ukriane, and climbed on the announcement of 300-500$ cheaper with the words "gun-race, coming down is unreal." In this photo the lights from the dozens, and it is clearly visible that some sort of wheel he had caught the curb. After all, this is Ms. drist Kar!111
