Big long post... But here's the story

First day the ad went in autotrader on the net, I got a phone call. Girl sounded really emphusiatic and wanted to come have a look, gave directions and stayed in all night. No show so was a bit annoyed.

Second day the phone went same girl, I though this was a bit odd and asked her if she rang yesterday, she said no so I carried on with directions and she said she would come tonight. I stayed in again (well I wasn't going anywhere anyway) and again a no show.

Fourth day, the phone went again, this time a bloke told him address and the like again and then said we'll come round this evening. Another no show (Love timewasters)

Then nothing until Wednesday night, phone rang and it was that daft girl again, but this time she wanted to leave a deposit and that she was definetly coming up this evening, can you just give the directions to my boyfriend again. I though "again?" and the bloke who rung up the fourth day come on. Yeah, this is beginning to get very annoying. Anyway as you guessed another no show.

Last night a guy rung and said he'd be down in an hour, he was and looked round the car (The sign in the windows said 1300, but I was willing to drop to 1200) and started spouting about how nice it was and was in such imaculate condition. Whilst I was explaining a few things about the car. After he pointed out a few faults on the bodywork, he never bothered getting in the car or anything I was about to ask him before I could he just burst out with
"I've got £800 cash on me now"
without thinking I said "And I have a car for sale at £1300, so what?"
His deals on wheels training hadn't primed him for that, he said
"Well I'll meet you half way how about £850?
(I thought halfway to what exactly? I never said £900?) So I just said
"I don't think so" (The guy is obviously a retard)
So after a brief silence, the guy had my in hysterics, pointing out stupid faults on the car like the tyres weren't clean (Yep he honestly did that!), remember, he still hasn't driven it or anything yet! He just burst out with
"Well I've seen better examples at £800 than this"
By this point I was really annoyed at this guy so said, and got bollocked off my mum for swearing.
"Well why don't you just fuck off and buy one of them then"
The guy got a little upset I think and well fucked off quite sharpish.

Guess he needs to watch more deals and wheels because he completely messed up how he was supposed to go about it.

Think I'll let someone else sell my car in the future, I have zero luck and not too good at dealing with people Laughing
