there are not many halfway reputable used car dealers, so there are always risks involved.

Sorry. I wasn't around yesterday and I was bored. So I borrowed a few books to read.


I'm sorry I didn't let you know beforehand 🤣

Family members are the worst. One of my family members is a car mechanic. Would never buy a car or anything else from him. Not because he sells junk, but because he rips you off. I mean, I'm not asking him to work for free, but I don't want to be ripped off either. Roughly speaking, I can imagine that he makes at least 50% profit. Which would be fine if he was fair and transparent, but he's not.


I once confronted him with the speedometer trick and he seriously tried to make me believe that it was just TV nonsense

I also have repairs etc. done by someone else.

You can't choose family members, although we are not related by blood. But I'm not with you, because if you know something like that, then you just don't do business with these people and that's good ^^

Some family members are worse than strangers. Especially when it comes to money.

Yeah ok but it's still sad isn't it?

Sure it's sad I'd rather trust a stranger to fix my car than my 1st degree relative... so if that's not sad, what is? XD But you know, there's nothing I can do about it, so I have to accept it. I couldn't be that "cheeky". Whether it's a stranger or a family member. But some do, otherwise no one would work at certain call centers or in sales. Sales isn't my thing at all.

It's hard to find someone who's fair, but once you have them, you stay loyal to them for a long time. Especially in this industry. If you don't know anything about it (I'm one of them), then it's really easy to get ripped off.

I can imagine that I also have someone in the family who is somehow totally lovable on a human level, but also a bit unreliable and almost gangster-like 🤪 well after a few attempts you have to accept it and draw the consequences is unfortunately like that, then mind goes before the heart
