Three weeks ago we went to see a hyundai i40 car was of first owner and in reasonable condition. asking price 11.4.

After a test drive it turned out that the clutch / pressure group no longer felt properly (ok I'm a mechanic not really a problem for me)
next to the clutch, the front bumper was also not properly mounted and visible damage (not mentioned in photos).

After discussing this, we came down to the fact that 900 could be removed from the price, but without a warranty (car of almost 11k), this did not suit me because tjah these were also the costs that I have to make away for a bumper + Spoiler spray and new clutch and pressure group mount and then I decided to leave the car.

Two weeks later, after deliberation, I decided to go for it anyway, because what could be wrong with a car of 8 years old, 100 k, first owner? being entirely as a mechanic. unfortunately the car was at the painter's and would have already sold bad luck for me.

Two days later he returns to Mp Autoscout etc where I make an appointment with the company to come and have a look (same price 11.4 k with warranty etc). A day later I get a call. with the announcement that the asking price has gone up by 500 because there have been costs (paintwork) ok .. can be bumper and spoiler combi work roughly 400 together after 500. fine to which I answer, we'll figure it out.

Drove another 100 km to find out that only the spoiler is done and not the front bumper (as ugly as before).
(Junior ??) Seller's answer oh yes I thought that was also done.

So sat down at the table again and told casually the minimum price is 11.5 without warranty (just in short this is 1000 more than the previous negotiation and the only thing done is sprayed a spoiler (do you put this away yourself after a sprayer? Between 125 and 150 this may cost.

Well the answer was that it was already 2 weeks ago that the money was no longer (the only thing they could do was a full tank).

To make the story short
@seldenrijk make sure if you introduce a junior salesman first that he can make his own decisions without having to ask how or what.
be fair with your prices
be honest with your photos
be real with what you offer and take your losses where necessary.

my tip do your homework and first think carefully if there is no other car anywhere. and drives past here it took me at least 7 hours of my time and 400 km of fuel.
