You mean cash on delivery :eek:

I find the brown paper under the drivers pedals concerning. I see this brown paper a lot, and not usually when a private person is selling a car. I know its only a little thing but there you are.

Nope. That is a big issue isn't it!!! Terrible really. Apparently their teenage son wanted a 5-door car and father bought him 3-door so he didn't want it.;)

You don't know that's true, they could be telling you any nice made up story, to cover they are selling the car on for whatever reason.

I wouldn't believe that, I've got no way of checking.

And also, someone else showed you car the wife, the owner/keeper wasn't even there, so you don't even know what he looks like.

He does say he bought it from a dealer friend of his..and then they have never used it because his son didn't want it. Even if that is true, they should have the right name on the log book?!!

For all I know they may be honest. But if I were selling my car to someone I'd have all the paperwork there for them to look through especially if they made the journey (2 buses!) to go to look at it. There are photos of the paperwork and service log but she didn't know where they were and said her husband was disorganised. :mad:

True..:D


Would be nice not to have to do all this detective work but it seems not that many people are honest.

And she didn't offer to phone him to find the basic paperwork that he must have had in his hands recently.

Indeed. His seller feedback looks genuine enough, he's only obviously sold one other car recently, but I too am sceptical of the story and the disorganisation excuse.
