Don't be surprised if you hear from her again. You might have appeared too anxious about the car and she felt she could get more out of you.

If the deal doesn't work out, it was not meant to be and you'll find something better. Just be patient and good luck!

I call bullshit on the dealer. There is no way she should have called you with that tidbit of information. Did she know earlier that you were driving to see them today? Did you already have a deal done with them before you left?

sounds like it was a private seller. Bitch move.

It's not even like she explained someone made a higher offer for it. Nope, just need 1.8k more, thanks!

Good for you; serves her right. A deal is a deal and you don't change it once you've reached agreement with a buyer.


Keep looking; hang in there. One will turn up for you. :thumbsup.

Talk about a douchebag move. I have a feeling she will be giving you a call when she can't sell it and offer the original offer... Screw that.

Like I said, douchebag move.
