Used Cars - Selling To Friends Is A Mistake
When I wanted to get rid of my old car I decided to sell it to one of my neighbours who I was quite friendly with. This wasn’t my idea but the man in question approached me when he saw that I’d bought a new car; he wanted to know what I was going to do with the old car.
Not only was he my neighbour but I would have also considered him a friend because we used to chat down the local pub and our wives were very friendly with each other too. So it seemed like a great idea when he asked if he could buy my old car. The amount he was offering was lower than what I was looking for, but it made sense if it would avoid all that hassle of looking for a buyer. Once we shook hands however, the problems started.
On the evening that this neighbour had bought the car we had a long phone call with him asking all types of odd questions. So it was then that I knew I had made a major mistake selling my car to my neighbour. It was as if he thought I had done him out of money with some of the questions he was asking me. I actually got quite annoyed and told him to bring the car back and I’d refund his money he slammed down the phone. I have no experience with selling used cars but assumed that once the deal is done the deal is done.
I then heard from another friend of mine that my neighbour was spreading nasty lies around about me. He was telling everyone that would listen that I had cheated him out of a lot of money for a used car that was a piece of junk. I approached him about these lies but he just denied everything. We haven’t talked since and his wife is now ignoring my missus. So what I would say to everyone is, never ever sell to a neighbour or friend.
