I'm sure some of you will have an opinion on this, so don't hold back :laughing:
We're selling one of our cars - an old but, reliable 7 seater. Only asking about £850 for it.
We had someone come to look at it earlier. He said if he gave us £250 now, would we keep it for 2 weeks & he'd come back then with the rest of the money. If he didn't come back in 2 weeks we'd keep the £250.
Now, what's niggling me is, he didn't actually look at the car at all or ask any questions. Nor did he try to knock us down on the price! He doesn't know us, so why trust us to honour the sale?
I'm suspicious but I don't know why. What could go wrong? What could he gain from it if he isn't genuine?
