I’ll be contrary and couldn’t disagree more.
Back of an envelope calculation shows that in over 40 years motoring I’ve bought, and sold, in excess of 15, probably more, cars to/ from close friends and relatives.
They are all still close friends. And the relatives are still alive.
Do you not think that buying a car, and vice versa, from a friend, where you know the ‘genuine’ history of that car and any problems it may or may not have had, is preferable to buying a car from an unknown source where the history is solely in the service book and you have no idea of how it’s been looked after and driven ?
No offence meant but maybe I trust my friends and relatives to be upfront and tell me “don’t touch it, I’ll move it on elsewhere”.
