A mischievous car seller sent a hopeful buyer on an 85-mile wild goose chase to a hospital and told him to 'get himself checked' - because he offered less than half the asking price. Mechanic Janis Drikis, 37, says he was 'sickened' when Charlie Murry, 51, offered him £250 in cash for his Honda Civic that he'd advertised at £550, hoping for a quick sale.
The dad-of-two pretended to be happy with the bid and told Charlie to collect the car the next day, giving him the address to a local hospital, only telling him he'd been played after he'd already made the two-hour trip. When Charlie had made it to the hospital, Janis advised him to 'make an appointment and check yourself' for making such a low offer to which a furious Charlie replied calling him a 'rotten b*stard'.
Janis ended the message exchange by telling Charlie he was teaching him a lesson - who has since slammed Janis' 'trick' and says he 'did not find it funny'. Charlie defended his offer and claims that the advert described the car as an MOT failure and that it had a blown turbo meaning it was only good for scrap.
