Default how to buy a car, the dojj method

look on the internet
find several cars you are intrested in
call the numbers up
ask if they are selling "a car"
find out when you can view
arrange a viewing
confirm address and time of viewing
spend 1 hour and 40 minutes traveling to view "the car"
knock on the door of prearranged residence
enquire as to the whereabouts of "the car"
be told that "i'm sorry, you've got the wrong address"
go to lidl to use the toilet
get a call from "the seller" asking where you are
explain that you are going home
"the seller" then grovels and "explains" the mix up
go back the 200 yards to "the address"
get there to be shown a "different car"
make your excuses and leave
arrive back home 4 hours after you left in the morning
curse softly under your breath to avoid contaminating young ears with "naughty words"
resolve to buy cars more locally

my rule is i wont travel more than an hour . theres enough cars out there and there are too many wankers now days that describe the car as very good and in fact its a heap . i never expect a mint car but a fair and honest description . im always more than honest when i sell a car .

i rang this bloke yesterday and he rang back, we arranged the time etc
went there this mornign and he not only told me that the address he'd given was where the car had been parked as he couldn't park it outside his house

alarm bell starting ringing the day before where the distance was 15 miles from our house and the address he'd given me was 21 miles away, but i thought i'd give it a go

but when i got there this mornign he gave me another address, he turned up in the car, the car adverstised was a silver 1999 5 door micra and he arrive in a silver 2004 3 door micra

after giving him a bit of abuse i drove off, but this was after he said that he didn't want me wasting his time, the cheeky cunt
