When I wanted to get rid of my old car I decided to sell it to one of my neighbours who I was quite friendly with. 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.
We had been fairly good friends up until this; we socialised in the local bar a lot and our wives also got on well together. 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. We shook hands and that is when the problems began.
The night that the car was sold, my neighbour phoned me and I spent ages answering all sorts of odd questions. From that point I realised that I had made a big mistake selling the car to this man. It was as if he thought I had done him out of money with some of the questions he was asking me. I was a bit annoyed with this and the call ended with me telling him that he could have the money back if he brought back the car; to which he replied by slamming the phone down. 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 was telling everyone that would listen that I had cheated him out of a lot of money for a used car that was a piece of junk. I tackled the neighbour about it but he denied the whole thing. Needless to say we have not spoken since and neither have our wives. My advice to people is never to sell used cars to friends or neighbours.
