I remember having a conversation with a SoCalROC bud who told me a guy
wanted to "buy" one of his cars by first taking the car and seeing if he
liked it or not. The guy also said he would paint it and if he didn't like
it he would return the car and expect my buddy to pay for it.
Right.
I my bud that the only people I front parts or cars to are my family,
lifelong friends, or in some cases my SoCalROC buds because I know them. I
am not really commenting on the specific case talked about on the list but
in general. If I want to buy a car I need to see the pink slip before any
cash changes hands. If I am selling a car it is "show me the money" before I
sign the pink.
It's not personal, it's business. I enjoy being friends with my SoCalROC and
list buds and I will do them favors when I can. Whenever I have sold parts
to people on this list I have always received prompt payment. I was guilty
of not sending a part that someone had paid for because I forgot. When he
asked for a refund I apologized profusely and sent him a refund. We all make
mistakes.
I remember the first rule of Las Vegas and it applies almost everywhere.
"It's your money. Keep your eyes on it."
See you on the road!

If you don't want to trust someone, try Mr Steve Flint, currently residing
in Australia!!!
He had a nice little '70 2000 in Denver, CO for sale, but no one seemed
interested, even in WyCROC... so finally last September I went and checked
the car over... and I assimlated it into my growing roadster fleet on 5 Oct
01, but his buddy who was doing the selling, lost the title. I do have a
bill of sale for the purchase price sold on behalf of Steve Flint. His
buddy has moved on and left no forwarding address, but I found that Mr Flint
still has his email and I have been in contact with him about obtaining the
title or a duplicated title so I can drive and eventually sell this car.
Well Mr Flint has been less than enthusiastic about this, even though I have
offered to pay for any and all fees, postage, and whatever else has to be
done. In fact, he has insinuated on several occasions that he wasn't going
to sign over "ownership" for this car because he has seen no money for the
car and might just come back to claim it again?? It will be a very cold
day in hell before Mr Flint ever sees this car again, as I have put a
storage lien on this car for the 130 days it has been in my possession..
So much for everyone on this List being honest and trustworthy... Mr Flint
apparently proves that completely wrong.
Good luck and I hope no one else has similar problems with people out there!
