    Angry Why do people insist on wasting your time when selling cars?

    I have been going back & forth for about 2 weeks with a guy selling a car that I was very interested in buying. So yesterday we finally agree on a price & date for me to come pay him & pick the car up. I said you have a deal @ $X. I need your address, phone# blah blah.

    What do I get as a response?

    "I talk to the wife and she wants me try to get more. I told her I have someone that can come this week. Here is the thing We are spltting up and I need to give her x amount of dollars and I just dont have that. Taking 6100 would put me about 800 buck less where I need to be to pay her. I told her I would try ebay one more time but dont think anything is going to come about it. She was not happy unless she seen it on ebay."

    Keep in mind that he never made any mention of anything like this the whole time we had been talking about the car. He knew right form the start I was a serious buyer with cash in hand. He also had it listed on ebay once before this & someone did BIN, but then backed out.

    I'm sick & tired of these buyers that aren't f'n serious about selling their cars wasting people's time. Shit or get off the pot!

    Might be a good thing. Did you do a vin check? Who knows you could have gotten there and found major things wrong with it.

    Then I would have driven home without it. I wasn't paying him before I saw & drove the car. I was bringing a cashiers check with me.

    My friend is trying to sell a 00' convertible Z28 on craigslist. Asking 6500. Some jerks keep calling offering 2500. He finally told them he would give it to my son for free before he would sell it for that.

    don't fall for that trick. thats his way of trying to get more money for the car. Tell him to take the deal he agreed on or have fun looking at his car in the driveway.
