-Oh Jake, how much did you pay for this scrapyard refugee?
- It was only 80 quid and still has 4 months MOT on it!

Buyer: - I like your car, it really is in perfect condition and amazing service history, but it's got very high mileage.
Would you consider selling price -30%, quick sale, huh?
Seller: - No thanks, but good luck with the clocked scrapyard refugees at this price range.
