Used Cars – Selling To Friends Is A Mistake

Just a couple of months back, my neighbour who I was on great terms with, bought my old car. It was not my idea to sell my old car to my neighbour; in fact it was him who approached me to find out what I was doing with this car when he saw I had bought a new one.

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. As soon as we had shook on the deal, we began to have problems.

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 the questions he was putting to me made it seem as though he felt I had swindled him out of money. I actually got quite annoyed and told him to bring the car back and I’d refund his money he slammed down the phone. I have no experience with selling used cars but assumed that once the deal is done the deal is done.

One of my other friends came up to me and told me that there were vicious rumours being spread about me by this neighbour. 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. Since then we have not spoken to each other at all and my poor wife is being ignored by his wife. So what I would say to everyone is, never ever sell to a neighbour or friend.
