When you bought a second hand car......

[Evoluzione]

Did anyone leave you their music in there and was it any good?
I've noticed that Mazda owners tend to like Bruce Springsteen, so now have a couple of his CDs, not too bad really.
I also have a 'Free with the Daily Mail' copy of the best of Bryan Ferry and Roxy music which is ok. I've always thought he was ok, but never bought any.

[Pebbles167]

Drum and bass CD in a 306, and some weed that had fallen down the side of the seat (not bagged, no good).

I just sold my fathers old car to a young lad and think I left Dads Local Hero soundtrack CD in there. Don't think either of them will be happy.

[Gary C]

Bloody Roy Orbison tape.

I bought my Cayenne from an Eastern European in 2016. I’m still listening to his music on the HHD

Venga boys tastic.

[Jamescrs]

Bought a Mk2 Focus ST 6 or 7 years ago from a private seller and he left the multi changer full of CD's, Smashing Pumpkins I recall came on when I turned on the stereo.

I realised fairly shortly after leaving the address and turned around and gave him his CD's back.

When I picked up the Z4 in 2015, the iDrive seemed like a flight deck from an Airbus a380 after letting go of the Mercedes I'd owned for ten years. Anyhow, once home you try to master all the functions within half an hour (without consulting the manual - #causeblokeinnit) and the previous owner had somewhat of an eclectic taste in music. There was Bowie, Dylan, The Police (the good stuff), and on the flip side dance mixes, rap etc (very bad stuff). So, I applied my (never let me down yet) logic and common sense and ended up clearing the whole drive instead of the albums I didn't want. Suffice to say, the instruction manual was dug out and duly read from cover to cover. Never done that again.

Sold a Z4 and after the test drive the buyer asked me to include the CD that was playing (it was a little band called Young Rebel Set)

[Skyedriver]

A SL500 with a CD changer full of mainly home recorded crap. each worse than the last and they wouldn't play all the way through, getting progressively worse by the middle of the CD. Dumped them. dumped the multi stacker.

Current car came with a Top Gear CD.

[vixen1700]

No music, but my old Volvo had a CD of some kind of Arthur Atkinson
from The Fast Show comedian doing a stage show like this:



It was awful.

[Super Sonic]

When I bought my civic em2 coupe it had an Andy Williams cassette in the stereo. Who said Honda are old people cars?

[Mr Whippy]

My Z4 CD changer decided to stop ejecting so it went with a bunch of CDs.

Can’t remember what, mostly 90s trance stuff.

New owner never sent them back, so maybe still stuck in there

[offspring86]

Back in 2005 when I bought my Skyline the seller left a CD in it that only had one track, Turning Japanese by The Vapours. Loved that song then, still love it now.

[Integrator_Type_R]

Found a random 90s rave mix CD in a Ford Focus mk1 about 8 years ago. On the flip side, I think I lost cd1 of a LCD Soundsystem album when my car was scrapped and towed away.

I'm guessing people who work looking after, dropping off & collecting hire cars might have some interesting contributions to make here.

[underwhelmist]

I had a CR-V that came with one key and a copy of the soundtrack to The Full Monty in the CD changer.

When the previous owner found the other key we organised an exchange. I didn’t miss the CD.

[Deranged Rover]

One of my cars came with CD1 of the Top Gear Driving Music CD in its changer.

I was quite happy about this, even though the car in question was a Ford Scorpio 2.3 Ghia X and so not really a car built for chucking down a twisty B-road to the accompaniment of Sniff 'n' the Tears' "Driver's Seat".

[bristolbaron]

I used to buy and sell quite a few cars and always had a rule that any CD’s/Tapes would be the only thing I’d listen to in that car between buying and selling. They’d then be passed on to the new owner as part of the cars history.

The highlight was probably a Sony head unit with hard drive containing every Queen album. Low points include a Beetle with a Robbie Williams CD and a golf with some sort of thrash metal/rave combo that was very difficult to listen to.

[smithyithy]

My Cayman that I bought a couple months ago came with the Backstreet Boys Greatest Hits in the CD player. Absolute result.

[Tasmin200]

There was a Jam CD down the side of the seat in my Celica. Shame it was scratched right through and unlistenable.

Did you find it down in the seat rails at midnight?

I'm sorry, I've let the forum down, but most of all I've let myself down.

Well it made me laugh
