So I get a call today, from some guy named Casey in Seattle, WA. He says he wants my car, looks good he will pay to have it shipped.
He is a contractor that builds custom waterfalls and such and is building one for a dealer and made a deal with this said dealer to find his son / daughter a car.
He doesn’t know much of what he is talking about, and I’m trying to tell him as much as I can about the car so there is no surprises.
He asked me what size scoop was on the rear?
Then asked me if his daughter pulled up with all her friends would she be cool.
Your telling me, you can’t find a WRB WRX anyplace closer?
I told him he will have to pay my credit union directly and funds need to clear before the car leaves.
Is this sketchy or what?
I mean I want to sell the car but WTF man.
Don’t even waste your time. I had some fggt call me on an Impreza I was selling from Fort Drum and he was a complete waste of time. Wanted to tell me how “his buddy” who builds Subarus doesn’t think it’s worth what I was asking for it.
I’m not going to lie, those water falls are pretty kick ass.
As long as funds clear and I get them a receipt that says sold “as is” . I’ll be in the clear correct?
While the potential buyer seems a little odd with his questioning, it should be pretty straightforward as long as payment clears. Get the money, make sure it’s secure and clear, send him title and bill of sale, and make sure he gets shipping lined up.
My father sold his classic Corvette to a guy in Dubai. The guy emailed him telling him he’d like to buy his car and that he was royalty in Dubai. I thought it was clearly a scam, but ten’s of thousands of dollars worth of bank transfers later and the car is now in Dubai.
I had numerous legitimate people asking to ship my car all across the country, but I wouldn’t do it. I held out a few more weeks and eventually someone local bought it. It made everything much easier and there was nothing to worry about.
I used to hang out with the owner of catsexotics when I lived in Seattle at a bunch of the local redmond town center cars and coffee meets. So through the deal is that the guy making the purchase in exchange for the waterfall or what?
To my understanding yes, his kids want a WRX and he is going to build them some bad ass water fall. Good to know the dealership is legit also.
They are going to take care of shipping, paperwork, ect.
When the money clears, they can cut up hookers and set it on fire for all I care.
