Did you see the generally derogatory comments I received for putting my Exige on the market? āItās not worth THAT muchā was the general tone but oddly there was interest, so I couldnāt have really been wide of the mark.
Sadly I find myself getting drawn in to it all, poor form on my partā¦
I did look Kurt but couldnāt find the thread, post a link. There does seem to be a little anti Exige on there. Or maybe anti Iām pleased for you well doneā¦
Iām banned from there for being a naughty boy and having an opinion that contradicted the views of the moderators / directors .
Itās a truly awful forum .
The gloating thread debating wether Lotus cars would go bust was probably its lowest point.
I probably upset them even more by buying a new car from Lotus !
Iāve said it before but I think one of the main reasons values are being held back is because of that forum.
Theyāre all in their little comfort zone, hoping that nobody would dare to better than them in any aspect of life or have a better post count FFS! Generalising a bit possibly but you get the idea.
I agree with your general consensus. I honestly think there are people on there who have nothing else going on in their lives, judging from their post counts. And the drivel is amazing. One blokes just been served with a notice his Mrs is divorcing him (and is a total surprise to him) and heās gleefully posting stuff about Brexit. Honestly, Stop. Assess. Re-calibrateā¦
As for values of cars, well, I marketed mine as to what I thought Iād take for it rather than following trends closely. Iām sure the Ā£6K Elise is still out there, but only if the seller can stomach thatā¦
Seloc is great - it gives me huge laughs reading the political commentary $hit & the incredibly candid personal/private reveals posted every single day. I am gobsmacked at the stuff posted by many of the supposed intelligent/professionals who seem to exist living in their little cyber worlds/circle of luvvies with no knowledge/experience of what actually happens outside their bubble. I very rarely read any of their posts about carsā¦far better sources are available in that respect.
It can be amusing, although there are times when I havenāt got a scooby doo what a particular thread is about. I simply assume itās my amoebic level IQ.
Iām new to Exiges but the difference here is marked. Friendly, helpful advice without all the opinionated bollocks, very refreshing.
As for car values, I remember advertising my Scandal Sport 160 a few years ago and one guy sent me a message telling me it wasnāt worth the Ā£15K it was advertised for! Wtfā¦
Anyway, I sent a suitably cheery reply a few weeks later telling this person that it had been sold for Ā£14,750ā¦
Quite why there are certain individuals that constantly talk values down still staggers me. Values are significantly rising on anything S1 and are rock solid S2 wise.
Supply and demand, simple as.
As I said, much nicer place here and long may it stay that way
Iām very much a lurker on Seloc; Iāve met some guys and girls off there and donāt get me wrong they are overall very friendly.
However I have never seen a forum that is more akin to a boys club/episode of EastEnders. Why some people want to divulge their private lives on there in so much detail is thoroughly lost on me. Thereās some fantastic builds combined with great technical knowledge and that is the reason I like to read rather than post.
Exiges is a fantastic community, close knit and welcoming thatās for sure. I feel lucky to be a member.
