Can't believe no one had picked up on the "you're car" bit. It's even correct in the advert.

What's happening to the CS grammar police?

With him giving you a '£1500 car' as a deposit though. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to phone him, but it's not the most absurd thing ever - if I lived near to him and had the car free for the weekend I'd consider it for £120

Slight difference in that with a rental company you have to sign a rental agreement which outlines exactly what their terms and conditions are, contains a damage report etc. This lad turns up, takes your car for a couple of days, scuffs the bumpers, rips a seat, drops a lighter on the centre console and melts it then hands it back and denies any knowledge and claims that all the damage was done prior to him borrowing it, what happens then? Or he doesn't bring it back and reports his own car (which is parked outside your house) as stolen.

How many of you when selling a car would leave someone you'd only just met, to go for a test drive alone? Same thing really.

Is it really worth the potential hassle for the 120 quid he's willing to pay?

Not really but if someone wanted to do it there is quite a lot of things they could do to protect their self

He only wants a bigger car, not like he wants to lend an expensive one. Someone might have a big old volvo worth £200 and thinks it's worth the risk.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

May aswell just sell him it

Could go wrong either way, someone buys an old big car for £300. Meets him. Borrows his £1500 car and strips it and sells parts whilst he's away after giving him false details

Could also be used to facilitate a crime and it would lead straight back to you! Almost as bad as the guy who agreed to be stabbed
