This guy wants to buy my 98 Acura CL..I spoke to him on the phone like 3 times. Each time he kept saying don't sell it I really want to buy it. When I see you I will buy it. Each time I also said I want 6300, nothing less. So I go there..he drives it for like 20 minutes...drives to his brother's house for him to see it. We drive back-by now I've spent an hour and some with him...they say nothing bad about the car-all smiles etc...then he says all I have is 5500. He keeps trying to get me down, though he's the worst haggler in the world and I ofcourse, stay at 6300.

An hour and a half later...I'm home..and I have not sold my car. I hate when people waste my fucking time.

 

i wouldnt drive to the person who wants to check out my car. if anything, he/she should drive their lazy ass to me, and pick up some fuckin KFC while he/she is at it.

 

Yes, indeed! When I sold my last car, I told everybody to come find my place - I did not drive anywhere at all.

Z

 

that sucks.

 

My car has a few problems..so I didn't want them to know where I live...when they buy it they'll realize that they've been had...and can do nothign about it.

 

thats pritty fucked up selling a car that has "hidden" imperfections but i guess it has to be done...

I'll be the first to say, dont sell it im gonna buy it PM sent DO NOT SELL IT I WILL BUY IT WAIT FOR ME TO DRIVE TO NJ FROM CA

 

lol... good idea. but im pretty sure when u fill out the paper, u write down ur address. no? and dont u have to give them ur phone #? my friend bought an used 96 audi and the previous owner gab him his #. btw my friend called him like 2-3 times a day the first week he bought the car. haha.

 

lol...

They're not major problems. It's only a vent that came out it's socket, rattling in the dash, back and center console, and the rubber around the door is coming off.

 

well.. one of my friends said that he will get it for sure, and he said that he was waiting for money coming soon... so i waited for him like 3 weeks.. and later he said that it's too expensive or whatever.. and.. finnaly.. now i'm keeping mah CL..

anyway.. that fawker.. i dont talk to him anymore.. lol

 

Ah!

Well, then, I guess you gotta deal with the tire-kickers! And their negotiation games!

so basically you did not sell your car because you wanted $800 more.... you really dont want to sell the car do you?

if it were like a 1500-2000 difference i would understand....but $800 if you really wanted to sell the car i think you should have taken it

 

I would've made him pay for the gas he wasted..then I would've kick his ass out while I was doing about 60mph..but thats just me and most people aren't crazy

 

You made mistake.

The first instance he offered you less then what you already told him was a firm offer. You should have simply " i told you over the phone 6300 firm, you knew this, and now you bring me out and waste my time, im out" and proceeded to leave.

He'd either have let you go, or said wait and played ball.

Dont sit and play his silly games, control the whole situation.

 

I got a call a half hour later. Now he's giving me 6100. Lets see how it works out, as I have two other people interested in the car.

 

dude tell his ass 6300 FIRM not a fuckin penny less. If hes willing to do 6100 then he lied about only having 5500 therefor make him chalk up the 200 bucks

 

half hour later he found a few extra hundred bucks? Tell him the price is now $6500 hahahah. Seems like he really likes the car so its a straight $6300 buy or walk, let him know you have 2 other ppl intrested.

 

start the bidding between them. tell him this person offered $XXXX.00 and see what happens. you gotta look out for you. dont let it get personal. money's money.....

 

You could act like there's a lot of people who want to come see it.. he has no way of verifying any of this stuff. You know, the old "act now! won't last!" routine.

After what he's done to you.. I wouldn't have any problem doing that.

 

The other people fell through so it's just this guy again...He was supposed to buy it on thursday...but now he says he doesn't have the 6200 we agreed upon...and said that he's to NY asking his relatives for money...wtf...

 

messed up...wouldn't wanna feel your pain

 

Sold my 97 3.0 for 13,900CDN ! The buyer did not even test drive or START the engine. He's lucky I am an honest person! Low ball offers I completely ignored, wait for a serious buyer and the CL will sell itself.

 

damn you, martik

 

Gloat, Gloat!

Well it did take 4 months to sell...
