Went to a door to ask about a cabby not far from me - No.
The Escort is used all the time and the cabby just sits there with a layer of moss over it.

I can imagine some people wouldn't appreciate strangers randomly knocking on their door about their car, 'if it's for sale there'd be a sign in the window' sort of thing. But nice to hear so many of you got the car you wanted!

Followed another chap to his house, found out his contact details & wrote him a letter asking him he wanted to sell. He did call me back saying he will consider it in a few years time.
Like its said no harm in asking is there

I guess if you speak to them nicely and ask genuinely there is no harm,
If they ask you can say you were passing by, saw it & wanted to ask.
They key is howerver not to freak them.

Don't see anything wrong with it. Afew times I've said "Well if you do want to sell it in the future, can I have first refusal?" and left a phone number and in a couple of cases, received a call, even two years after seeing the car.

And I would also phone the police (hands free of course) which would probably cause embarrassment all round!

I have been, and don't mind, being approached when I have bene stationary.
