How does that make him spoilt!? :S granted its a pain in the ass, but i'd imagine everyone been to see a car which wasn't as described...Fact of life.
I think you have missed the point here! I agree that alot of people embelish the truth a little when describing the condition of their car, this I have experienced alot.
He arranged for me to view the car, told me a time he would be there (his father even believed he would be home) then; 1, couldn't be bothered to turn up and 2, didn't even leave the keys!! He didn't give me a second thought knowing I would be travelling 50+ miles to look at his car! He already has a new car, and didn't pay for the clio in the first place, didn't pay for his new car therefore didn't care if it sold or not, is this not spoilt?
