Why I hate dealing with ppl and Craigslist!
Posted on CL, had someone txt me today with interest in the '96 Civic I have for sale.
He was about 45 mins from me and wanted to know if he could look at it today between 12:30 and 1pm.
I said yes and gave him the address to the local fire hall then from there he can call me and I can give him the rest of the directions.
He contacts me at 1:30 (half hr late) and I give him the rest of the directions.
He shows up, looks the car over for 40 mins, takes it for a drive, says he wants to buy it and we agree on a price. He then says he is going to his bank to get the cash which is 1.5hrs round trip. I say alright and wait…and wait…
Finally 4:30, I text him and ask when he plans on showing back up?
He texts back that he “found another Honda on the way to the bank for $1500 less that ran better and sorry for the inconvenience.”
SO much for ppl’s word actually meaning something and having the courtesy of following through on a deal.
FUCK That guy! Asshole!:liar:

If his idea of joy ride is in a stock Hx, he needs to find better cars.
Ahh well, that “joy ride” cost him two hrs and over 100 miles in gas in his mini van.

I usually try and make them give me a deposit for $50.

Yeah… deposits are the way to go. I like to do a signed intent to purchase paper of some sort… I will always do one if I’m buying, because I don’t just give money away and have no recourse if they lie and say I didn’t…
But if I’m selling, I’ll do it if they ask otherwise I don’t care.

I have had people from this very forum do similar things. it is not a Craigslist specific issue.That is why i also ask for a deposit. If they don’t have $50, I will take anything. I took a $10 deposit once.

Another thing that makes no sense to me, is making flat out serious offers and NOT having the cash in hand, “I need to sell my car first”…
