Old second hand car prices.

I find it very odd since the selling and buying of stuff is all about haggling about the price and finding a common ground to conclude a sale, or shaking hands and going your separate ways.

Unless one party is very desperate for a sale, hence treating all potential buyers who end up not buying as time wasters. That theory goes some way in explaining this guy's mood. I wonder what are you supposed to do when you meet him? Just greet and hand him the R80k, no questions asked? Are you even allowed to greet?

I think he is just very optimistic. Or, his wife made him put it up for sale so he put an unrealistic price in hopes it doesn't sell so he can go "See liefie, nobody wants the car so I'm keeping it"

I have a personal gripe against people who lie about a car's condition. Like one I viewed a few weeks ago.

The guy claims the car is in pristine condition, not a dime to be spent. That is, if you exclude the cracking and peeling paint on the C-pillar, the broken engine mount, the airbag fault on the cluster, the shudder on deceleration, the crushed door skin, the worn tyres, the non-functional AC and the one Xenon light that is out.

My for sale ad for my car lists every little defect that I know about. From the rear wiper that sometimes doesn't return to the home position to the rash on the front bumper and even that the odometer display sometimes flickers on startup. I'd rather be 100% upfront about everything, then there's a much smaller chance that someone wastes my time because of undisclosed faults or issues.

Delusional is an understatement. But there is an unfortunate sucker who will fall for this. That's how it goes.

You think? I think it's just trolling and they end up selling the car for far less that that, I honestly don't think there's anyone who will fall for the scam.

"Sentimental Value" is guaranteed to drive up prices by at least 40%.
