Look what they've done to my car, Ma.

What has happened to your cars after you have sold them?

Here's how my DS Safari looked when I had it and how it looks now

Well, its differen't!

Were it up to me I’d have an outright ban on Gulf stickers and decals. Likewise for M badges fitted to anything other than something hand built at BMW. Possession would warrant something suitably draconian like bamboo torture. 
 

Ultimately however you can’t control what happens to something when you sell it, you’ve had the money, it’s off your hands. It must gall though when you’ve agreed a sale and some halfwit turns up with a padded baseball hat and massive earlobes. Still they’ve turned up and paid and that’s the end of the matter.

In the kinda inverse of this, @sdkrc pointed out this video of the Leaf he’s just bought from me, from when it was only a year old 😅

Still should be some sort of law where if they pull these stunts you should have a free pass to put their windows in and terrorise their family mind. Y'know, nothing too extreme. Just kill their pets and that 😆

WHAT?????????

What kind of sadistic pervert are you?  No no no no no, lay off the pets.  Kids and grannies, fine, but lay off the pets!

I'm told my first Qashqai has been spotted not too far from where it was traded in with some live laugh love type stickers on the back of it. No sign of the second one on Autotrader yet, but I imagine they'll retail it given it was traded into a Nissan main dealer.

Everything else is dead. Corsa was on death row anyway, the Megane managed another year, the 206 lasted a few years, the Sedici barely lasted 6 months, the Meriva is surprisingly dead, and the Skoda expired a day before I was due to repurchase it!

Here’s what they did to most of my former cars…

[AnnoyingPentium]

Focus was cubed straight away, rightfully so. The Nexia is soldiering on out somewhere near Edinburgh I think. Got test until October, so I reckon that's as long as it has.

Is that paint, or a wrap?

Paint, the interior trim also has lilac piping to match the paint. That was done by the chap I sold it to. The Gulf decals have been added by the next owner who has also sold it.

I presume the slammed look is just the Hydropneumatic system tweaked a bit?

'55 Chevy?

[SiC]

I won't lie, I actually like what they've done to it and love that colour far more than brown 🫣

[morrisoxide]

I thought it was a Forza picture at first.

But sadly not... Then again tis only a mere flesh wound paint.

[sierraman]

Mine all go to the scrapman I’ve used for last 20 years so no disappointment there! 

[Lord Sterling]

These: 

Are very likely to be part of these things now:

A lot of good old cars there that should still be around but aren't 🙁

It was dark red (rouge grenadine)

Spotted this picture of my ZR (the front one) I sold a few months ago, looks like it's in good hands and got the machine polish it deserved which is nice to see after all the work welding it up and the head gasket job

[Mally]

Do whatever you like with mine. I've smashed a few on the tracks.

Those are the pair I spotted the other day!

And I agree, having spoken to the lad, I think he's the right owner.  Only a couple of streets away from me...

[wuvvum]

Still bitter about this one.

Had a transporter in at work today to collect a scrappage Rover 600. Already on it was this:

The paint wasn't the best, but it was clean and solid underneath and it looked as though someone had spent alot of time and some money.

(Also RIP oldford.)

Here it is in happier times:
