How often do you come across a car for sale where the owner has left it filthy? I seem to be seeing more and more of these. Some I can't believe that people would drive around with the interior in that state:-

Any examples?

My brother needed a car for a ‘less than £500 round Europe charity thing’ some time ago.

Found a real beauty... a red, old Suzuki Swift with an ashtray worse than this:



A full weekend of cleaning and it wasn’t a bad little banger (except the stained headlining and smell)...

Presently coughing their way round Asda without a face covering and four snotty kids running riot handling everything.

That Toureg is bloody revolting.

Even just emptying the crap and a five minute vac would make it look better. Lazy bds.

Chances are it’s not a polished turd. At the same time that level of laziness would make you wonder if they could be bothered with looking after the thing.

I doubt any buyer looking at that would even care, its a scrapper/breaker. Its not worth the time involved in replacing the manifold and turbo. Chancers are the guts of the turbo has been through the engine anyway..

Lazy ad as well , seller hasn't explained that you don't get the £100 desirable number plate , you get the one shown

on the loose plate thrown in the car .

Also the 2 highest bids on it are from users with zero feedback , what could possibly go wrong ?....biggrin

The Toureg owner is probably too stoned to clean it. Nice collection of raw materials in front of the cluster.

Err it is King's Lynn. When I lived up there the MOT tester always said my cars were the cleanest he MOT'd. One apparently was 20 mins with a screwdriver digging the mud etc. from under the pedals. MOTs up there were seemingly optional those days as well.
They've also replaced 3 tyres when the recommendation is all 4 at the same wear level.

Animal.

Even if I rocked around with it like that inside (not a chance), I'd at least tidy it up and clean it before trying to sell it.

Wouldn't be able to shake hands with the bloke.

Slobs indeed. Fancy paying top whack for an approved ST with a smashed front bumper?
