Can I Drive My Sold Car 400 Miles To The Buyer?

[Chubbyross]

I had a car delivered a couple of weeks ago. £200 from the midlands to London. Saved me pretty much a whole day in lost earnings. As others have said, I’d certainly be asking for a non-refundable deposit to cover lost time if the buyer wastes your time.

When will the OP be back to say this is about a £500 shed?

Pedant mode but OP asked if he can travel to sell his sold car, but then opened with "almost sold" and that's a big factor. If it was fine, dusted and paid and the buyer was covering costs then that's more of an argument to do it, Covid aside. But almost sold leaves too many unanswered questions... is the guy into it? Wants to see it first? Buying on the basis it's as described? Non committal until it's in the drive then he'll start back tracking. Anyways, the while situation just screams "nope" regardless...

Buyer will give you Scottish banknotes, too...

How do you know that?

Most buyers do bank transfer now, particularly since covid (though it doesn't matter which bank prints the notes; they can all be paid in!).

I don't, it was a joke.

I know and I know.

Sigh.
