Cars, SUVs, Trucks

Just a couple of months back, my neighbour who I was on great terms with, bought my old car. I had not planned on doing this but when my neighbour realised I had bought a new car, he came up to me to find out what my plans were for my 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. When he suggested that he buy my old car it seemed like the ideal solution. Even though he offered a lower price than I originally wanted for the car, I thought it was still a good idea because I wouldn’t have the hassle of trying to sell it. 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. I realised then that selling to this man was a mistake. Some of his questions were almost accusatory as if I had swindled him out of money. Our phone call ended with him slamming down the phone because I had told him in no uncertain terms that I would refund his money if he brought back the car. 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 told everyone that he could, that I had in effect sold him a piece of junk for a lot of money and had cheated him. I tackled the neighbour about it but he denied the whole thing. 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.

When you think it’s time to look out for used cars, you may end up much better off by thoroughly researching the cars that interest you. Researching allows you to find the very best used cars for the category you are looking for. And when you finally finish your research, you could find yourself leaving the car dealers with a splendid used cars for sale glasgow or even a used cars for sale halifax.
