So, in the 45 minutes since I posted a for sale ad for my 2001 Skoda Fabia, I've had 4 scam phone calls from people saying I've been involved in an accident and have compensation waiting, and two very odd guys with thick accents saying the will come right away with cash for car. Give address! And then called me back trying to offer me pittance for the car. But "I come right away"!
So I've just decided to let all further calls go to voicemail, haven't got the energy to deal with this stupidity.
I may just end up driving the car to the airport and leaving it in the carpark with the key in the ignition when I leave for Australia in a couple of weeks.
End rant.

webuyanycardotcom have offered me £150 Surely a scrapper would pay about the same? Seems a real shame, the car has full service history and has been super reliable.

It's still £150 more than the option of leaving it at the airport...

Well, as it turns out I managed to sell it to a friendly chap on Friday who needed a cheap reliable car to drive him and his family back to Slovakia. Sold it for £400, so feeling quite pleased.
