A deal with consequences: In Bavaria, a man sold his old rust bucket at unusual conditions - for him it was the "deal of his life".
Send/Ulm - "What was the best 'Schnapper' you've ever done?" A Reddit user recently asked the group there - and got dozens of answers.
The most likes were received by a user who claims to be able to travel by train nationwide free of charge until 2033 due to a train error.
But a much nicer story hides behind another comment.
Because when selling his car, a user not only got a little money - he also found the woman of his dreams.
Bavaria: Michi sells a Honda rust bucket for 500 euros plus a cell phone number
"I once sold my old car for 500 euros and her cell phone number .... now we've been married for 5 years," writes the user.
“By the way, I paid 100 euros for the car back then.
The best investment of my life and the best deal of my life.” He reveals details to tz.de.
Which of course cannot be verified, but also appear authentic.
The car buyer from Bavaria named Vanessa and he, Michi, who lived just across the state border in Baden-Württemberg, had only known each other briefly and had seen each other twice in passing - "the sister of a good friend".
He told him "that she is looking for a transitional car.
I wanted to sell my winter car at that point.” So the buddies sneered: “I then offered him the car for €500 and his sister's number.” The deal actually took place in Sending (Bavaria) – with the unusual conditions.

Vanessa and Michi are happily married today.
Car salesman Michi is now married to the former buyer
That was "originally only intended as a joke," he recalls.
"Nobody would have thought that we would really get together and get married." But today they are "married, have a house and two dogs." The couple, he is now 30 years old and she 24, lives together near Ulm.
The car was a Honda Civic, which - as the above photo from a car meeting shows - had seen its best days long ago.
A real rust bucket that has long since been sold "to a junk guy who got it for a few euros".
Only the love between Vanessa and Michi has remained.
