Alright, I guess some of us have done it. I just want to know how other people do it or are there any tips that people use.
There's a nice ta22 (or might be ta23) around the corner from me and i want to ask the guy who owns it, if i can buy it.

may mate bought his SX rolla from down the street 'cause he liked the look of it and just left a note on their windscreen saying that he was interested in the car and lived just up the road and if they were interested in selling give him a call...
he has had it for 3 years now

theres this sprinter in my area that wasnt for sale, and owned by an old lady and a few months back i dropped in after driving past it every day wanting to, but didnt have the balls to  so yeh called in one saturday morning and just asked if she would like to sell it or not, but she said not yet  and then she said how much was i looking at paying.
everythings for sale at the right price.
i say just go in and ask about it toyoman, whats the worse the can say nah, sorry its not for sale.

Don't hassle old people driving Crowns. Thats my domain. If you see it in a driveway just drop a letter or card in the box. 14 mths after I did this I got a call from someone who eventually decided to sell. I just had to remember what he was selling.
Did have an old couple freak out when I knocked on their window at the lights and asked to buy their car. They actually ran a red light to get away from me.

i went to leave a note on a sprinter i had my eye on for a while but it was stolen before i got to it, left a note on a imaculate sprinter and the guy rings me the next day, made an offer, he said no, added anothr $1000, said no, added another $1000 and so on... went WAY over what a stock sprinters worth and way over what i would pay for a second sprinter and he still said no. bottom line he was just a fuckwit and i got bored once we got past $5K and said goodbye.
