Private guy selling his car to a garage

[David Horgan 564]

This guy pulls up with a Suzuki Swift Sport ,White ,  15 plate , nice service history good miles . lovely condition to be fair . HPI clean , Decent MOT , two keys his car as hes got his licence and V5 

So far all good 

A few questions later and hes telling me what he wants , to be fair again hes not being greedy either as I would have hit him at that figure anyway . 

So far all good 

Ok fella I'll take that then I say , Give me your bank details and I'll Transfer and do the docs for you Now . 

Now here's where we go down hill 

Er Ok then he goes , " but i still want to drive it because i need it for work " how does that work fella was my response 

"Well i need to keep it till sept 20th when my insurance runs out because I cant get insurance on the new car till then as I need my No Claims . " But that's TWO Months away yet I say  "

"Well I'm looking for a deposit on my Swift and I will save it for you as I need a deposit for my new car and haven't got any money " 

You have to give the fella 10/10 for even thinking that's possible , I told him to go away don't be stupid , or sell the car NOW and put a deposit down while your catching the bus to work . Regards the insurance , leave it running if you must . 

They are getting more dopey by the week

I would be thinking there is a deal somewhere here.Depending on how much deposit he wanted,I would not have dismissed the idea.With due diligence and T&C’s worded in your favour allowing for a price chip in Sept.etc.Then again there is probably another story to it !

Think hes one of many out there who expect others to fix their problems.
