What are you flogging at night which keeps you awake? On second thoughts no need to answer that!

I wouldn't sell something with dodgy brakes or something, that's a bit of a bastard thing to do. I've sold them before with stuff like knackered engines, holes in the boot floor, exhausts binded together with wire etc. They have only been £2-300 stuff though with still valid MOTs so what do you expect?

 

Sold a Micra years ago, it had plates of plates on the sills that were lifting due to cack welding jobs. Sold it for £250 as I didn't fancy the bill for a new sill being welded on. It's still on the road now and I sold it 6 years ago. He was aware it needed a bit of work, it's obviously done him a good turn. If you've got £200 to spend on a car, don't get upset if it lasts six months. If it's faultfree you are wanting go and spend £10,000.

Great stories. Having an grandparent drive me round France in an old Jaaaaag actually sounds great.

There is something entertaining about the fact both of you drove off thinking "sucker" then you couldn't get the key out the car and he overheated .

Both of you so desperate to offload their heaps neither one checked the others car properly .

Pretty much sums up my opinion of "swapz innit" - two parties trying to offload cars that are too fucked to sell
