Perfectly fine. The buyer knows a shitty old van isn't sailing thru a mot and so tellin him the mot is due is telling him to expect further costs. If he doesn't want to investigate the extent of those inevitable extra costs that's up to him. Don't know why you should force that info onto him when you're trying to sell your van. Why don't you sit him down and continue to convince him not to buy the van by harping on about the other bad points like the acceleration is crap and the seats smell? Lol. He prob has a mechanic mate who can do the mot for a fraction of the price the garage quoted or maybe he's not planning to mot it. I would tell friends or close neighbours I knew but not a random borderline alcoholic from down the road. Lol at borderline alcoholic. wtf?
thanks dude |

you did nothing wrong lee, if the guys foolish enough to buy it without a testdrive or looking it over then its sold as seen and far from morally wrong.
but you chose the wrong forum if you wanted your backslapped mate more saints here than the vatican ;-)

In all seriousness Lee I can't see anything wrong with what you've done whatsoever.
If someone buys a van for £500 they know it's shit and needs money spending to make it half decent.
It's not your job to tell them how much needs spending.
Don't worry about it.

Selling a shit old van with no mot isn't a grim. The buyer is getting exactly what he's paying for. A shit old van with no mot. However, if he'd knocked in a bottle of scotch that day and you convinced him he was buying a Ferrari that would be a bit slack.

how would you feel if you took it for a test drive and it seemed fine then you found out that it had just failed an mot even though the guy selling it had told you that was due in a month? clearly trying to deceive and it sucks
Hilarious. If you bought a V reg van for 500 quid would you honestly be shocked when it failed it's MOT and needed a shed load spending on it to pass? |
