Selling a used car


Resident

 

Please be aware when selling a used car, that there are some people who will come to view the car and while looking around it, may tamper with it.  Specifically by adding water to the engine oil.  This can create smoke or make the oil look cream.  They will then try to haggle the price down saying that there is something wrong with the car.

 

Kind regards
