Default Re: What are your best/worst car sale stories

I was selling a GQ patrol (on LPG), asking $12.5k, would have taken $12k.
Guy agreed to buy it, subject to mechanical inspection.
Mechanic found nothing wrong with it, but buyer still backed out because "there might be something he missed".
Had another tosser come to look, opens bonnet and (in his most annoying Liverpudlian accent) proclaimed "oooooh, that's a carburettor."
Yes, I explained EFI didn't become available until the series 2, with came out two years later,
You can easily identify those because it says "Electronic Fuel Injection" in huge letters down the side,
but anyway the car runs on LPG.
In the end, a wholesaler came and offered me $11k, and I got him up to $11.5k.
I rang up a guy who had been interested at a lower price, and said he could have it for the same price, and he still tried to offer me less.
