Not Happy.

[oweban]

If I bought a car off someone and the gearbox fell out after 1000km, I wouldn't be happy at all lol and possibly hurling gearboxes through windows etc. There are alot of people who like to do the dodge when selling cars. My mate WILL NOT sell a car without putting "as is" because he will ONLY sell his cars when he knows something is wrong with it and after the whole thing has been degreased to look clean and schmick.

Fair call, and to be expected when it's that case, too. But having said that, I just sold a 1992 Holden Nova for $1200, and I'd done everything I could think of to get it up and reliable as a daily, bar the power steering pump which will need replacing in the next year, and I listed that in the ad, and let them know in person (I ran out of cash to do it; it still works, just makes a bit of noise at the moment). I still put "as is" on the form though, because if something DOES happen in a few months, I know I've done everything I can to check it, but I don't want someone getting narky at me.

I'd cleaned the car and engine bay down, but not full degrease, just with a bit of elbow grease. There was still some oil on the engine, but I cleaned the front bit up cause I thought it looked nice Got lazy with the back half.

Sucks there's people like that out there though
