Had this when I was seling my 205 gti. I'd found a Mazda 323 gtx for sale, which turned out to be the same one I was going to buy 3 years earlier, but some pisshead hit and wrote off my ae92 Corolla gti that I was going to sell to buy it.
Was really looking foward to buying it, so put up my 205 for a good price and had loads of interest. Agreed a sale with someone who luckily lived near the Mazda. I explained all the faults, marks, and anything else on the phone. He'd been after one for months and was set on mine. Kindly drove 70 miles to his house to sell it. He had one of his Dad's mates who 'knew' a bit about cars. he pointed out a few things that I told him about, and said not to buy it. The buyer was in no way apologetic, didnt want to test drive it and pretty much shut his front door in my face.
Didn't have a bad ending though as the next week popped into a local Citroen specialist to have a head skimmed, and drove out £100 lighter in a Bx 16v, 3 days later had a 205 Mi16, and was £300 better off after selling the 205 engine and BX parts! I used to live in the area of the idiot buyer, and went out for a drive with a couple of mates in our Gti's. Ended up at a country pub where this kid worked, and he had the tattiest Gti i've ever seen!
