lol ok so hypathetically speaking if i wanted to constantly comb craigslist and forums I may or may not have found a better deal. Point well taken. This however was a very easy transaction for several reasons.
A. I’m from Albany so it was almost 0 distance
B. The car was well known in the area and documented in the forum
C. Seller was a Sherrif therefore trust worth
D. My friend Chaz (MX-5) called me after he actually found the car
I hear what your saying that there are some times great deals on clean stock cars, but that generally isn’t the case. I personally would never buy a car without first seeing and test driving it, so the seller is a very important part of that equation for me. While I might not care for certain things Paul did with the car he was very upfront about any and all issues with it. (minus the zip tied headlight which I did notice, but didn’t bust his ball about) Plus the fact that he was in law enforcement made me feel a lot more comfortable meeting up with him and paying in cash.
Anyway I think we’ve beat this topic to death enough
