Deffo lesson learned. Trust no twat to act properly....
Wishing I'd scrapped the bugger now. Hassle for £700.
As you said, always take a deposit. I bought and sold a few classics and it didn't take long to get a feel for whether or not someone was serious. It's always worth asking them (when they telephone) what they expect the car to be. There seems to be more problems when the car is either very cheap or very expensive. On the flip side, be truthful about what you're selling. Oh, and did I mention about taking deposit?
Been a nightmare but last days events take the biscuit....
Car is 15 years old and only up for £700. I sometimes wonder what people expect for £700. I've had them all from "I thought it'd be in immaculate condition" to "give you £100" to "oh I thought mercedes were bigger than this" (its an A class as the advert states - look it up!)
But sunday guy turned up. Business manager for car dealership wanted for his mrs. Gave me business card. Yep I'll have. Sorry no money on me but I can pay cash tomorrow and pick it up. Sorted I thought.
Monday. Phone call. Banks closed can I come tomorrow 6pm OK. Bit weird but hey.
LAst night no sign of the twat. Phoned him, text him but hes ghosted me it seems. Bit wassed off because I've had other people ring me and I've told them its sold.
Morale of the story = take a deposit.
Funny thing is he gave me his business card. Not sure if I'd be brave enough to act like a tit when someone knows where I work. Can just imagine a nutter strolling into his car showroom and causing a scene. Not clever idea.
ORLY?
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist
