I thought it was the seller doing the "demonstration" when it happened?

I would most likely have a owner-only-driver policy and which owner would be dumb enough to let a stranger drives it? If that's the case, too bad for the seller... If it was a multi-drivers policy, then the person that crashed the car would be responsible, for the excess cost, the the seller got a payout...

I just read the UK article that TJB posted saying the owner was driving.... I couldnt read the one from the Adelaide paper as I had reached my limit on their site when it was posted. Sounds like he was doing his best Tokyo drift impression but failed..

The guy who was supposed to be buying the car has the longest hair Ive seen on a guy since the 1970's.

By the look of the damage it looks like the orange car would be quite repairable. If you were the owner you'd have to say your foot got wedged on the side of the accelerator peddle and take some blame for the "accident" rather than hit them with an "I dont know what happened," story.
