drunken car buying

[Sexual Chocolate]

Has anyone bought a car while slightly drunk?

[veevee]

Some people have.

HTH.

Judging by some of the cars I see people driving, there can be no other explanation.

Yep - Alfasud ti mk1 after lots of red wine at Christmas last year whilst browsing eBay.

No regrets - cool little thing, which I ran until last month when I sold it (on PH) for the same I paid. Happy days!

Loads of them. None of them were any good. A 200,000+ miles Land Rover was a particular low point. As was trying to convince the Mrs the next morning that she really, really wanted to drive me to Preston to collect it. Never again. Hic...

It was great fun, but the arrival of a new Elise meant it had to go to free up garage space:

I bought my Z3M when I was a little tiddly. It was buy it now or make offer. I offered a stupid amount but thought he's never going to take it.
I got it but had to break the news to my wife.
Coincidently it's 5 years today since my wife wrote it off!!

I would imagine that many an e-bay car sale has been made by a somewhat tipsy b***er....

Ooops.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of eBay roulette... The number of times I've nearly bought a knackered lancia or an early imported MX5...!

Hmmm, might have a little browse - cheers everyone. Hic.

Well I have just bought a saxo vts for £530. I want to turn it into a track/rally cross (watched top gear during lunch) slag but when I wake up tomorrow I know its a bad idea.

Buyers remorse, there is nothing worse.

A guy in work dropped 20k odd on a BMW over the phone, whilst in the bath, drunk.

22 miles. That's how far it got before it stopped in a massive cloud of steam. 22 miles. FFS.
