Most rubbish reasons and excuses for selling a car

[bigkeeko]

Having read, and let`s be honest here, along with most guys on here literally thousands of adverts what are the most memorable in terms of `obviously fabricated`?

I mean, if you`re selling your car you`re selling your car. I know some people (myself included in this bracket) won`t entertain a car that`s been recently bought or had 5 owners in a year.

A couple of common reasons are;

Pregnancy forces sale ( but really only had it 3 weeks and the automatic box sometimes doesn`t change).

Just bought it and the wife can`t drive it (mentions further on in the ad there`s a light on the dash and there `sadly` isn`t any service history nor V5).

Great car but need a van for work (why buy a Z4 with mismatched panels only 2 months ago?)

What I`m getting as it the less believable stories like......

Someone selling their rotten 1995 Mondeo diesel sitting in their litter strewn garden but have miraculously been awarded a `company car`.

Anyone care to add?

Some`interesting answers here. To the chap that says he only had his car a few weeks then sold it, thats fine because you know what you`re selling. I`ve done that too a few times but I still tread with caution and like I say there IS plenty of cases where the reason is genuine obviously but people do jump on the bandwagon.

`Barn find`. There`s a relatively new thing I`ve seen crop up in adverts like it`s some kind of golden nugget of a car. Half the time the seller is the nugget with the dross he`s written.


Anyway, I`m emigrating for the 6th time this year so must sell.


Here`s one. "MUST SELL as bought another car and need cash. May p/x WHY cash either way

If any man ever finds himself in the position of being forced to sell a car because his girlfriend doesn't like the colour, he's getting rid of the wrong part of the problem.

Hahahhahaa. Top answer.
