How not to sell a car...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-PUMA-MILLENNIUM-1-7-ZETEC-S-/120998666138?clk_rvr_id=398614037056&afsrc=1

especially love:
THE WINNING BIDDER WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE FEEDBACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED AND BEFORE THE VEHICLE LEAVES THE PREMISES. THE USE OF A COMPUTER WILL BE PROVIDED FOR THIS PURPOSE.

    I'd love to see their faces if someone left them negative feedback on the spot and then drove off :D

    9 cars for sale and they're not registered as a business seller?
  • I particullay liked:

    WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THIS VEHICLE IS FIT FOR ANY PURPOSE OR IS OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY OR IS AS DESCRIBED.

    along with:

    WHERE EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO GIVE YOU A GOOD, HONEST, OVERALL DESCRIPTION OF THE VEHICLE, WE CANNOT 100% GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION


    If they can't describe it accuratly they shouldn't put it up, mind you that doesn't stop other sellers out there.

    You could leave it 7 days between winning bid, and collecting the car to be able to leave the negative.

    I would collect the car, then refuse to use the computer provided incase of any spyware software installed etc.

    I just had visions of some big beefy type brandishing a laptop and refusing to let you leave :)

    The rest of the description, well..... especially the 'may not be as described' lmao. Its probably a matchbox car!
  • Looks like a lemon, quite literally.
