Garage
I recently sold my 2016 Audi S3. I had it on Auto Trader for months with nothing but flakes offering me 1/2 of what KBB said it was worth. Spotless, no accident car, original owner and fully serviced with no issues, new tires, etc. The windshield was new, the front bumper had been repainted from rock damage along with a new grill surround. Nothing to worry about and the car looked brand new with clear bra since new on the entire front end with a full hood wrap.

I was having my septic system serviced and the service guy sees it covered in my garage next to my 2 other cars and asks what it is. I tell him, uncover it and he snaps a few pictures. That night he calls and comes back with his wife and they buy it for the asking price.

5 weeks later he calls and says he went to the local Audi dealership as his wife wanted to trade it for a '22 S5 sedan. He said the salesman told him the car had been badly wrecked and would only offer him $15K for it and then they would send it off to auction. He accepted their offer and drove the new S5 home. I tell him the car was never wrecked, never hit, and like I told him it had the front bumper repainted, grill surround and windshield replaced from rock damage on the freeway. I told him he should have called me when he was at the dealership. I felt bad for him and for my car as it was spotless. I keep all my cars like that.
