The stupidity of some buyers at the low end of the price range beggars belief sometimes.
My daily sprung an oil leak of biblical proportions and I needed quick wheels.
So bought a 55plate Picanto for £360 on eBay.
A friend of the wife says she likes it and wants to buy it.
Ok, that's fine, when I get my daily back on the road we will call it £550. One owner from new with most of the history, AirCon works, electric Windows work, interior is mint, bodywork well above average.
Since purchase I have given it an oil and filter change and a new set of plugs and a fresh years MOT.
She then says, but you only paid £360, I want to pay that!!!!!
End result is I will keep it, even if it sits on the drive SORNed.
You can take a Horse to water but can't make it drink

You can take a Horse to water but can't make it drink TBH matey your better off not selling it to her as if she's already questioning stuff then it's going to end badly. It's your car you can sell it for what you want and £550 for one of those with a long ticket is a bargain. I sold a corsa to a woman who worked in a unit across the road for £550 once, giveaway, I just desperately needed cash, years ticket and 6 months tax, lovely little car. She brought it back to the garage everyday for the most stupid of faults, she thought a £550 car came with a lifetime warranty. Then tried it on saying she wanted £300 back as there were undisclosed faults (like stereo not lighting up and cigarette lighter not heating up) so I ended giving her a refund and proceeded to drive the car myself for the next 2 years putting 40k on it!!!! Still sold it for £550 and as far as I know it's still going, no complaints. My only rule now, I don't sell to friends or family 😂😂😂😂 |
