Well that's one way to sell a car

Ye. I think he is trying to be funny, but just comes across as a passive aggressive knob. Teenage son bumps car whilst new driver, treats old clio with 130k miles like an old clio with 130k miles, likes loud music and generally acts like a teenager. Not exactly a shock.

[idibbers]

It's annoying how people are bidding on it just because they think it's funny.

I really hate it when people mess up the spacing around punctuation marks.

Did I read that correctly? Is this car currently selling for £8000?

Yes, 96 bids placed. 4 days left too.

[Jasandjules]

I would prefer somewhat better spelling and grammar when you are telling a story.

Still, everyone (including the seller, look at the bottom) knows it won't be selling at that price.

That's about 300 yards from my office. I don't think I'll make a trip to view it, mind.

He just sounds to me like a decent chap with a quirky sense of humour.

The auction has been updated to state that all proceeds will go to chairty - top man!

Strictly speaking, no. Ebay bids on cars are not binding. I suspect the car won't be 'selling' to any of the bidders from this point onwards.

He might regret that when he sees his selling fees....

[myvision]

60k now.

[Dinoboy]

Now over £150k.

That's just silly - "bids" escalating in no time.

[Spare tyre]

hehe if you whack that post code into streetview i think you can see the clio parked opposite number 30

the defender is lurking as well

[jimmyt1202]

"clearly judging from the bidding it will not be sold for this rather large amount , but that's ok keep bidding for fun" I bet he won't be saying this when he gets the final value fee through!!!

[idibbers]

The worst thing is that people are sending in questions like "thanks for making my day" and "your son is lucky to have a father like you"...

[Toaster Pilot]

Clearly judging by his selling history he's a bedroom trader and it's all just a charade.... Might go wrong for him if HMRC have a similar viewpoint

[Dinoboy]

There's no final value fees if the transaction is cancelled after the sale which this obviously will be.
