Some people boggle the mind
We're selling a car for a friend (we live on a main road, while the only thing that passes his house are squirrels). Someone set up a test drive with him and came to take it out for a spin. They were gone awhile, which I thought was a good sign, then came back and said they planned to make our buddy an offer.
We get a call about an hour later from our very confused friend. He said, "They offered me half of what I'm asking because they said the seat bolts are missing and there's no coolant in the radiator." Having JUST ridden in the car ourselves the day before to get it up for a run, we were thinking the guy was just making something up to low ball our friend.
So I went out to check, and wouldn't you know it...the gall dang son of a *#!@# actually removed the seat bolts from the passenger's seat. I am dreading what I'll find under the hood with the fluids.
I have sold 8, maybe 9 cars out of my drive. I've had a couple dozen people do test drives of those cars and this is an absolute first for me. Seriously....WTF is wrong with people!?
...to be honest, it's almost MORE offensive that he thought he could pull it off. Makes me wonder just how dumb I seem to people.... Hands down the most unusual experience I've had selling a car. Thought it was worth a share!
