Or as you wish. DP has had a knackered old van parked in the city where we used to live for over a year. He nearly got around to selling it about six months ago, was offered 550 (it had 6 month's MOT). Since then, I've had to renew the tax which had actually run out (I spotted the letter in the post) as I could have been towed. But he didn't quite manage to get round to closing the deal, and the van continued to grace a private road (no doubt annoying the neighbours as it's not exactly a chariot of gold). We just moved and need a dishwasher and tumble dryer, so I said to him I would sell it for him and use the money for that. He agreed. The MOT runs out at the end of November. I stuck it in a car mag for 400. He was a bit cross and said it was worth 500 which it probably is. I reminded him that was with 6 month's MOT. Then I got really bad flu so instead of going up there on the train (£20) and hanging around with DS (14 months and steaming around like a train) for viewings, and with one week before the MOT expired, I mailed the keys to a guy who sounded serious about buying it. He went round, started it with jump leads (not be driven for a year) and offered me 350 because someone has daubed graffiti over one said and it will cost a bit to be resprayed.
So I just told DP I got 350 and he hit the roof.
AIBU?
