Pranksters keen to test if We Buy Any Car live up to their name claim they were left stunned when they pretended to be criminals trying to ditch a blood-splattered hatchback - yet the motor firm still bought it. Josh Pieters and Archie Manners, both 29, smeared fake blood over a Kia Picanto and filled the boot with rope, cable ties and even real hair to appear like they were gangsters making a quick getaway.
A viral video shows the visibly nervous pair parking their vehicle at We Buy Any Car's branch and telling the worker they 'need to get rid of it quickly'. After being quoted £196, Archie takes a hammer from the driver's seat, passes it to Josh and asks him to 'give it a wipe' despite the worker being stood next to them.
Despite fake blood being smeared on the number plate and the open boot supposedly filled with crime scene props, the sale goes ahead. However the staff member says 'I don't know what's going on, but you guys shouldn't have sold it. You should have scrapped it'.
