The second I put my broken Volvo XC70 on EBay ,I was getting all sorts of generous people offering me a whole £50 to take it away. One guy gave me a whole begging story about going past my area with a trailer etc etc. Did they really think I was stupid enough not to check that the scrap value ? Ended up scrapping it for £420.

One thing I love when I sell a car is having someone test the car and try and haggle the price down to rock bottom then I say no, so they walk away. Then a few days later they call you back and say they'll take the car at the agreed price but you tell them its already sold. That felling is better than sex.

Hi, Also a retired mechanic, started in 68 working at a Jaguar & Rover dealers in Derby. Chops video's are great and remind of both the good & bad times of dealing with the public, although must say that now days the public think they know how to do everybody's job because they watched it on KZbin.

All hail the Bill's of the world! Good man for standing his ground. I had so much hassle selling a car around 2004 I actually just gave it away to a work colleagues son who had saved enough to cover his insurance but not yet buy a car. He drove it for 12 years as a daily driver and still has it in his garage.. it was a Skoda felicia I'd owned from new.

It is a nightmare selling privately. Just sold mine and had the usual offers at half the advertised price told them where they could take their money. Eventually sold to a great buyer who really appreciated that he was getting a great car for a good price.

I caved in about 15 years ago, to a yokel from Dartmoor, who drove all the way up to Cheshire with his mates to buy a Jimny off me. Price agreed beforehand, but when he arrived, he was....so he told me...liar.....£500 shy, and pleaded with me. I really couldn't be arsed arguing the toss and he got what he wanted, and probably sniggered all the way home. NEVER forgiven myself for that, even after all these years. Well and truly completely stuffed, hook line and sinker. Aggghhhh! 🤬

Re the guy who messed your subscriber about. I had a chap coming from Wales who asked to be picked up from the station 7 miles away. Exactly like your friend he did everything to try and get a further discount, after about 3/4 of an hour of me telling him what the deal was, he was rude and said something along the lines of 'all you dealers are robbers and make too much money'. I'm afraid that was too much, so instead of giving him a lift, I made him get a taxi back to the station. You're better off without some customers!

I had a transit once it was mega clean it had done light work and low miles throughout its life. When I went to sell it people in the market for a van that age it kept trying to knock me down with no reasons to do so. A carpet fitter told a mate he was in the market but my van he thought was a bit old when he seen it he paid full asking price and ran it until he retired 7 years later

In 2005, viewed a Rover 218Sld that had 52k on the clock. The guy said it had 2 alarms, one Rover, one recent add on for £350. He couldn't find the 2nd car key which could disable the add on alarm, so we fumbled around in the engine bay, trying everything to shut the thing up, so I could test drive the car. We managed it somehow. I was quite impressed on the test drive, doing the usual checks. He had it up for £650 ovno. I complained about the problem of the alarm, so he took another 25 minutes searching his house (poor sod) and came out empty handed! I offered him a very cheeky £350 and taken aback, he retorted, 'I ain't taking less than £400 for it'! Quietly thinking to myself, that'll do nicely, I took 8 seconds and grudgingly replied, oh alright then, £400 it is! Deal done. The funniest part, was when I drove the car away, I had a sudden thought, so I stopped 50 yards around the corner. I undid my seat belt, reached over to fumble in the passenger door well and there was the 2nd key and worked it nicely! Boy was I grinning all the way home!
