motormadj 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 i wonder if if went with the intention to try n 'joy ride' ur car, or he just lost control when he was out in it... who suggested that he go on his own? Link to post Share on other sites
tubby 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I know this may sound harsh ,but the obvious thing to do is to make sure you get the cash 1st if giving potential buyer a solo test drive. Other than that always go with them.Its a hard lesson to learn mate ,but you wont make it again thats for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Why would you let a stranger take your car for a test drive without you?Seems bizarre to me.what he said /\Did you even check he was insured before letting him go out in it? Because in the unlikely event that the accident wasn't their fault all might not be lost Link to post Share on other sites
