I see so many of these. Near me is a supposedly reputable used dealer, a little on the naughty £££ side, like a 14 year old jazz with a handful of stamps in tye book and nothing else going for it will have a £3k sticker price ( yet they always sell?)
Remember going to see a car I really wanted, "full dealer history" and a hefty markup on going rate translated into an average condition car with less than a handful of stamps in the book and not a single other anything, erm, no, it twice went to a dealer, that was years ago and in between there's nothing to support wgat isn't in the sump isn't that very same oil...
Damn thing sold a few days later to some poor Barnard

Car ownership has been postponed. 'Full service history' meant 'no history at all'. 'Nice and clean' meant ashes in the ashtrays, sticky seats and seatbelts that didn't retract. 'Power steering' meant 'No power steering' etc. As my 9 yo put it during the test drive: 'This is shit - I really don't think we should buy it'...
The sellers profile suggested it was a female pensioner selling - reality was a guy who just 'sold it for a mate who had a used car dealership'. So he was basically just trying to shift shit stock, without having to give a warranty...
