Help Jud Please

Hello Steve;

You may not be aware of the policy of providing information about cars without referring information. Please visit this page:
http://www.8coupe.com/contact.htm

We will publish information about a car when and if it is publicly for sale with a valid referring URL/link to the advertisement. Otherwise, nothing will be provided.

Jud, You will find it on here, not sure why the policy is like it is I want to know about this car before I buy it?

Before I answer, let me ask you a question: "Would you like someone to publish information about your car without permission when there's no evidence that the car is for sale?"

If you answered yes, then you are in the minority.

You initially asked this question: "Hi - can you give me the run down on this car CB57344? "

It is difficult for me to figure out if this car is for sale somewhere based on the privacy policies of the Registry.

Here's the crux of the problem: If someone publicly asks information about a car without a link/URL to it, regardless of one's stature in the 8er community, and I answer it and then it's learned that this car wasn't for sale, then guess who gets in trouble? Certainly not you. It's me.

Therefore, when you are unable to provide a link or a URL to a car for sale, then avoid asking about it publicly in a forum, especially without context. Information is shared on an 8er when it is publicly for sale. Not for sale? Then the owner writes me an email giving me permission to do so on an offline basis.

Now about this car: CB57344

Here's the Pistonheads link:

IMHO, there seems to be an air of desperation here. Three price reductions within 7 days. You can probably negotiate any deal you want on this car. Anytime a car goes from £4,500 to £3,995 to £2,995 in price reductions, this means there's desperation and probably some hidden repair issues. Proceed with caution.
