Used Cars And Why You Should Not Sell Them To Your Friends
A few months ago I sold my old car to a neighbour who I was on friendly terms with. It was not my idea to sell my old car to my neighbour; in fact it was him who approached me to find out what I was doing with this car when he saw I had bought a new one.
We had been fairly good friends up until this; we socialised in the local bar a lot and our wives also got on well together. So it seemed like a great idea when he asked if he could buy my old car. The fact that I would not have any hassle trying to sell the car made up for the fact that he was offering me less than I had planned to sell the car for. As soon as we had shook on the deal, we began to have problems.
The night that the car was sold, my neighbour phoned me and I spent ages answering all sorts of odd questions. From that point I realised that I had made a big mistake selling the car to this man. Some of his questions were almost accusatory as if I had swindled him out of money. 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 always thought that once a deal was done, it was done because I have no experience when it comes to selling cars.
Another friend of mine approached me and warned that this neighbour was spreading nasty rumours about me. He was accusing me of cheating him by selling him a pile of junk for quite a lot of money. I tackled the neighbour about it but he denied the whole thing. Since then we have not spoken to each other at all and my poor wife is being ignored by his wife. So take my advice - do not sell a used car to anyone who you consider to be a friend.
