I have i think been a little stupid,i am curently selling my Toyota Surf in the auto trader.
I had a call today,nice speaking middle age sounding guy,took all my details and said he would be coming to look at vehicle at 7pm tonight.I stupidly did not take a name or contact number.
I was at work doing a dozen things at once.
Getting worried now,if he dosnt turn up i shall be very worried about it being stolen during the night.

 

OH YES!

It happens, even if u had asked for a number, and this was dodgy, it would have been a false one, its past 7pm did he turn up?

 

Disconnect the batteries for tonight, both of them.

Do you have an immobiliser?

 

Or just take it round a mates and leave it there for the evening.

 

bit late now I suppose but I always arrange to meet people at my mums house and tell them that I keep the car there.Once I have seen the cash I take them to my house.

 

Hasnt showed,i have put the surf and my scoob down my parents.The surf will now be sold from there.
I will arrange for people to view at my office now.
Feel a complete ****,i am very street wise and was just to damn busy to think when the guy called.

Thanks for all the advise people.

 

You may also be worrying about nothing. He might just not have fancied telling you on the phone that he was just ringing round a few, or he may have found something else.
Dont panic too much over it

 

better safe than sorry. lost my civic type R that way.

 

so if there was anything dodgy your mum would get the grief ????
what i would do is tell the would be buyer that it doesn't stay/park here (your house )as you haven't the room etc and you'll fetch it to your house for him to view once you've sorted a time out
