You came out of that ok.

Sometimes people do take the piss, but if the offer of part ex is near enough I will take it, saves dealing with bellends.

Ive told some traders to go fuck themselves as they were very very greedy,

Some you win, some you lose.

NO m8... there is making money (which is fine as we all have bills to pay) and then there is taking the total PISS. More often then not, car dealers chance it and try to take the PISS... but unfortunately for them I'm not your average punter, often knowing more about their cars, then they do.
I didn't force the private punter to do anything... he's the one who called me and asked to view my car... he's also the one who said he'll be happy to pay me £5800 cash there & then if I accepted it as my VW was the best & cheapest he's looked at.
Dito about dealing with bellends... there's pleanty of these in the Trade as well as in Private sales ... I remember once telling a particularly fooking dense dealer, if he was going to fook me, he should at the very least buy me dinner first You should have seen his mug ... priceless
