I wish I could find your kind of people...

I had mine up for sale a few weeks ago and that is pretty much what happened to me,i took 2 people out for a killer hour ride and tour of the mountain views....The first guy just white knucked the ape chit handle the whole time,i should have known when he told me he had a Tahiti with a 115 tower of power that ran 78mph LOL..At that point i pulled my ad and tossed in the towel.It was not tell i reposted a few weeks later out of frustration after shopping for a new vehicle for myself when this gentleman called.

He said he didn't want it as it was kind of a mess and not a "real clean" motor like advertised. I'm sure he was polite. This is the good part....After the kid leaves, the husband /bf came home and the idiot called my kid and threatened him, saying that it was a good thing HE was not home when the my son was there. What a looooser. Kid and I got a good laugh out of it. You never know what level of stupid you will encounter out in the real world......

That is what i experienced looking for a vehicle a few weeks back,spent a few nights driving all over looking at JUNK that had these great ads with doctored up pics.The one that sent me over the edge was 2 guys showed up and blocked my vehicle and where for sure going to jack me for my cash in my pocket,they where tweeked out in a bad way and i had to pull a get away driving over a curb....Some days i am not a fan of the real world.I will just enjoy a flight back to the right coast and start from scratch then.

Been there, done that. If there’s cash in the pocket (or will be) then this is in the other pocket.

I was car jacked with a brick in Brooklyn in the late 80's (got a cool scar across my head out of the deal),that will NEVER happen again.

Had a similar experience this year, I sold my 74 f100 and listed it at a fair price. Guy drives over from miami and hands me full price and didn't mention a single word about cash off. First time I ever sold something and didn't have to haggle like an Arab trader
