Default Have you ever bought back a car you previously owned?

I sold my Impreza back in August and the lad who bought it now has it up for sale.

Has anyone here ever boguht a car back they previously owned?

I really regret selling it and with a bit of luck in the few months I haven't owned it the lad hasn't buggered it up too much. Pretty sure the car is long overdue a service and none of the little odds and jobs it needed doing are likely to have been done so have offered alot less than asking but still a bit more than I sold it for.

I dare say you'll all think I'm nuts!

Let me get this right.... you sold him a car, he has put miles on it, plus one extra owner and you are offering him more than you sold it for????

Did you sell it at a price way below the actual value?????

Putting it that way it sounds rather foolish I admit.

Ignore me!

I sold my old RA for around 10K many years ago and I recently heard it just changed hands for around 3 times that money !!
All he seems to have done is paint it pale Blue
