Curiosity, Thoughts and Whatever...

I want to talk about my experience last week. Since I advertise my car for sale I have been receiving numerous call and enquiry from many people and all walks of life. Some are very particular, nerd, square, naive, dishonest.........you name it. From meeting all this people I can safely conclude that doing business with Malays are the best. Malays are honest (most of them that I know), not particular (very open) and straight-forward. They are 2 extreme case I would like to highlight here which I can generalize.

 

1. This malay buyer that I met, took a 1 min look around my car, without checking the engine and etc........just look, see, look ,see and he tells me I have a deal at his price. The price was still negotiable and he was not a car dealer or anything like that. Though I started the engine and ask him to take a drive, he said no need. He trust me and believe what I try to tell him. I was promoting my car, this and that and highlighted to him the good point and etc. New tyre, good service record and all got receipt and if he took over the car he doesn't need to change lots of thing.

 

2. This typical chinese guy that I met was so particular and magnify that with his ever busy body gf and etc. I mean he was looking at a 9 yrs old car and expecting it to be brand new. How can you be that naive. Then might as well you buy a brand new car right. He is the yes man type guy and the gf is the one who makes all the decision. Nosy and talkative. I was being kind and honest with the guy right from the beginning but he was .........like a typical chinese educated "not easy to pls" and particular. He was still ok but he fail my test when he ask me to go to his place to let him checked out my car. We were suppose to meet at a neutral place at the appointed time agreed upon by both. Last minute, he told me he didn't have a car and blah blah blah........... Later through some observation and conversation I know that he has alternative but choose to make full use of me. He wanted to have this acquintance mechanic of his to look at the car further cause he wasn't good with cars. Wow, I have no objection with that but you could do all those with the appointment at a go. No need to fixed so many appointment and time consuming meeting and etc. Another typical china man attitude. What a waste of time. Useless guy if you ask me and he told me he's an IT manager. Must be some dick and harry company that he's working with or the recruitment manager itself is half water.

 

I can still add somemore what were the conversation and his requirement and etc etc. Make the conclusion yourself from the 2 cases above and tell me your thoughts. Both the above are a honest account of my experience with people from diverse culture. I dread to think if the buyer are indians. Heard they are worse with particular, kiam siap and blood sucker.

 

Finally I sold my car to the Malay cause he was nice, ok and quick though the loan is still in processing. Keeping my finger cross.
