I sold my BMW X5 on Motorway.co.uk. The day the car was auctioned the winning dealer somehow managed to take out finance on my car without me even accepting the deal. It was a BMW dealer who I was going to purchase my next car from who advised me that there was finance on my car which was a surprise to me as I have never financed the car. The finance company was also surprised but we managed to figure out who had financed the car after I had to give them all the details about where I had advertised the car and who the winning dealer was on Motorway.co.uk On the day of collection the dealer turned up with a friend, straight away feeling up the car and as soon as I walked out to meet them they started with accuses of respray here and there despite the car being in almost perfect condition. The car had never been resprayed and had full service history from BMW Park Lane. I had been totally honest with the condition of an 8 year old car. The dealer then started moaning about how I got him onto a train all the way down from Bury and the car was advertised a gold standard but at best it's a bronze. That comment really annoyed me for which I nearly did not sell at all to him. I dropped the price by £649 which was a big mistake but this was due to the pressure from both people. Even then they wanted another £1000 off. I ended talks and walked inside telling them that this was never going to happen. They drove from behind the car to the front and stopped, they got off and came and said we will accept the price I had mistakenly agreed to. The process from there was straight forward as money was paid into my account, paperwork given. I had created my own buyer/seller receipt which we both signed, dated and timed. Although I still got better than the book value I still feel I let the car go at least £500 cheaper than I should have. This was defiantly a lesson well learned for me. If you do sell on Motorway.co.uk then make sure no matter what pathetic accuses the trader/dealer makes do not lower the price. if they walk away let them as they will most likely come back.
