protecting a car deposit?

[jammapic]

But I did get in trouble with the Mrs for it!

Don't we all. When I turned up with the Benz...

"What the f*ck is that? And why is it brown?"
"f*ck off, you didn't pay for it and you don't drive it!"

Oh yes, that old chestnut..

"Why the f*ck have you bought an old mans jag?"

"It's supercharged"

"So what, it looks like my grandad would drive it"


As for protection. There's none really, if the guy wants to f*ck you over he will.

From experience, if you leave £100 on it and say you'll pay the rest later, and someone else goes to him with the full cash, he will take it.

Best bet is go with all the cash when you can, if it's right, buy it. If not, walk away and find another.
