That’s one way to deal with rude people: one dude from the UK who was trying to sell his car through Facebook sent a potential but very rude buyer on a 12-mile wild goose chase when he wouldn’t stop pestering him.

Rob Keen has listed his 2014 Audi TT Black Edition S Quattro, which he claims is in excellent condition, for £15,000 cash, but one buyer wouldn’t leave him alone. He kept pestering Keen in messages with a rather insulting proposition, offering him just £6,000 in cash and insisting the car wasn’t worth more than that.

Keen has released the text exchange to The Sun, to show just how rude the potential buyer was. We’ve all dealt with a person of this kind: the kind that doesn’t take no for an answer and that tries to pressure you into saying yes by saying stuff like “give me your number / address and I’ll be there in 10 minutes to seal this deal.” And then he insults you for refusing him.

Well, Keen decided the guy was more trouble than he was worth it, so he gave him a taste of his own medicine. He picked a random address on Google and had him drive all the way there, while offering him fake instructions through texts. It took the guy some time to figure out he’d been duped, and he only caught on when he didn’t see the Audi in the driveway.

“I tried to be polite about it first off because everyone’s going to try their luck, but what made me think I was going to wind him up was when he got a bit aggressive,” Keen says. “Every message I got from him was a surprise, I couldn't believe he was going along with it. Reading it back it seems quite obvious I’m taking him for a ride but he obviously doesn’t have the IQ to understand that kind of thing.”

The potential buyer ended the exchange by directly threatening Keen, but he says he’s not worried. He’s had his fun and he’s now looking to find a serious buyer for the car, which has 55,000 miles on the clock and comes with heated leather seats.

“It’s in excellent condition, I love cars and change them regularly - I get bored of them,” he says. To anyone seriously interested, he promises to give his real address this time.
