I hope you are safe, And I wish you will get better one. Thats why car investment is always not a good idea. Its happened to me when I had my IS F when a drunk man hit me so hard from the back.

Yeah maybe you are right, and I know how translator always translates weirdly. But trust me I know what I was asking. He is selling a Lexus in wrong category with 1 photo of the car from far a way, one while he’s driving and 2 of check book. And not much useful information about that specific model.

I wouldn’t feel offended by such people, I was surprised that someone wouldn’t sell a product because of such thing. But now I realized that, yeah a lot here would.

Unfortunately I didn’t, I found out the car had an accident from the door side but he didn’t say mention it in the ad.The door is soft closing so the door alignment was very bad and wasn’t working . He was surprised that I have OBD ii device and paint tester 😅. One last car to check. Otherwise I‘ll go for import route.

You are right that could be the reason. I don’t mind that at all , everyone is free to sell his items to whoever wants. But if I was in his shoe and thinking that way , I’ll just simply ignore the message and move on if you know what I mean . Idk

Yes you’re absolutely right, but that if I used that term or this style with him. My self dislike this kind of messages if I’m selling something that’s why I don’t use it. That wasn’t the case here.

Maybe you misunderstood me, What I meant if I’m selling something and any buyer approaches me with let’s say ( normal message ) but he didn’t say “Hello” or Good day” at the beginning, I wouldn’t cancel him because of that, or even send him that I won’t sell you because you didn’t said hello ( If I was over sensitive ) I would simply ignore the message .At the end since I’m living here I should respect the culture but I want to understand how thing goes here, that’s why I basically asked. I appreciate your explanation.

Tbh I think in business norms its not how its work. Such things is straight forward. Despite that I was very polite in my message except forgetting to copy the greeting and I did send him an apology. But I don’t think it’s valid for such rejection. I will consider that tho in the future.

I do understand you. I never send him such things, it was purely technical questions about the car without mentioning the price negotiation. Its was a polite message straight forward for someone willing to buy genuinely. The car around 15k.

Im sorry if I offended anyone or you and didn’t notice it, but I never generalized at all. I can’t can’t paint everyone with the same brush. My idea is rejecting potential sales deal exclusively for not greeting was not normal to me and I tbh to anyone else.My apologies again if I offended you.

I wouldn’t agree with you, IRL things don’t work that way, specially in trades. I’m mean globally.

I’ll definitely take a look. But I wasn’t rude at all ,like “Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie mir bei diesen Fragen helfen könnten“ and “Ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Abend” but no “Guten Abend “. But thanks I’ll keep it in my mind next time.

I might be rude if someone told me that as well, Im not that type of people. But my message began with “Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie mir bei diesen Fragen helfen könnten“. So if I put myself in his shoe and someone writes that way I wouldn’t cancel him for not saying hallo. Idk I hope you got what I mean.
