Who are these people whose mission it is to tell people they should back out
of deals? What is their motivation? To sell parts? To buy the car? To screw
with people? It seems like these days with just a minimal amount of effort you
could ascertain the approx value of any car by: Kelly Bluebook, Emunds.com,
EBAY, Craigslist, car clubs..in no particular order. So if you don't know the
exact value of the car you are selling and make a deal then so be it.
Considering that even the acknowledged experts on this list might disagree on
value, it would be difficult for an amateur to know.
I hope it wasn't anyone on these lists who tried the backdoor deal. If so I
guess the moral is don't mention a possible buy as? it brings out the
unethical.

Subject: [Roadsters] resend deal because......
Craig and others,
I had the same thing happen to me 7-8 years ago. I responded to an
advertisement for a restored 67.5 2000 listed as must sell in Idaho....After
talking to the owner, he honestly described that the car had been partially
disassembled and cleaned, but not restored. Still a very nice car for my
purpose - driver while I work on my 69. He wanted 10 or 11K for the car and I
agreed. When I called to schedule a time for me to fly up to pay and pick-up
the car I was told that several people had called him to tell him that a
restored 67.5 2000 was worth more and he should resend the deal. I told him
the
best thing was for him to find a way to keep the car and enjoy the
ride..........
Phil
