Potential ??? I have watched you question sellers
for monthes about their Delica's for sale. I would consider you a dreamer.
yea. and i would consider you insulting.
yea. you might consider me a dreamer, however im
waiting for the right bus at the right price. i am in no rush to own a deli. when i find what i want, i will be driving it.
why pay good money(in a poor economy) on something that isn't exactly what i want? when i spend this kind of money, i research a LOT into what im buying, especially if im a novice with whatever it is. i watch the forums a lot, and listen the the wise words of several veterans.
there is an old addage: "only fools rush in". im NOT an impulse buyer.
oh, and BTW. i have CASH; and as they say, cash is king.
when i was last on the island, i probably wouldve driven a deli home, but the timing was all wrong. too bad too. it was a NICE deli.
i am VERY cautious when dealing with dealers. most are more concerned about the money in hand than a satisfied customer.
ive actually been insulted buy a dealer who tried to PUSH me into an AUTO, when i said i wanted a 5SPD. he made me feel like i was 'bothering' him.
i asked ANOTHER dealer about service records, and he did the 'dance'.
and i refuse to even consider a bus that i cannot crawl around in and drive first. this is why i won't "roll the dice" and import one myself.
i have been eyeballing a deli in the okanagan for sale, but for the price he wants, i might as well drive to the island and buy a fully serviced and MODDED camper Deli from a private seller for that price.
one dealer(who will also go unnamed) wouldnt even let me open the hood...
the best delis i have seen so far(for my desires) are private sellers. i've taken notice that deli owners really look after their vehicles, and maintain them well. its a PRIDE thing... you can see it in their eyes... they are pretty nice people, patient, and answer all kinds of silly questions(like V-oil stuff) about their busses. if i was living in the lower mainland, or the island, i would probably spend more time at gatherings, asking more silly questions.
Unfortunately most private sellers will not take a trade(and no, i don't take offense to that either). i only have room for 1 vehicle; i suspect it is usually the same with them too.
there are many reasons why i haven't bought a deli yet. but when i do buy one, i know it will be the best!
in the last few messages, i have seen you flame other users on this forum for no apparent reason.
you didnt even answer questions that a few had.
this attitude is the reason i won't deal with you. insulting people (potential customers)isn't good business, especially in a rough economy.
now consider yourself a customer. would you deal with a sales person who didnt respond to communication, or be insulting? i didnt think so.
