Every person on craigslist is retarded

[Baron Von Crowder]

Yup, got an E420 foe sale $2000 below book. Dude calls me up on the 22nd at 6 am asking for directions. I give them and set a time. He asks if the price is firm and I say pretty much. He does not show, whatever. Get a call last night at 11pm saying he drove up from Austin to see the car, saw it, drove back and is offering $600 below my asking. I offer up a $300 discount and tell him that's it and being the car is in a locked yard all he saw was the drivers side, if he saw the interior or drove it he wouldn't lowball me. He responds with "But $3900 is all I have" ..... then WTF are you looking at a $4700 listing for?

Lol, people really should be up front over the phone. I sold my RX8 for $1500 less than I was asking for it to a guy that almost hung up on me when he found out the price. He assumed that I wouldn't take what he had and I did. Your guy assumed that you would take less and you wouldn't.

God I hate those kind. Almost as much as the ones that will sell a car out from under you. I am a man of my word, if I say that I am going to be there at a certain time, or hold a car for someone, I am sure as shit going to do that.

Well I had a pretty pleasant CL experience when I sold my wife's 2002 XLT Escape.

First off, I detailed the crap out of it and replaced a few minor broken things. I took about 24 photos and laid my ad out very detailed.

I get a call 2 hours after listing and it is a FedEx delivery driver and she is begging and pleading for me to hold the car for her until that evening when she can come look at it as she doesn't get out of her truck and into her car until late.

I told her, it will be dark, but we can meet at a Kroger's or something. She agrees.

Ends up buying it for $100 less than asking price. She tried to jew me down, but I let her know that I had 3 people behind her who are interested, the $100 off was just a nice gesture because they showed up in a pretty beat up Nissan. I was happy with the price. They were impressed with the condition of a 11 year old Escape with 122,000 miles. There wasn't a rattle in that car.

Sort of miss it...sort of.

I've held onto cars before. Without a down payment it's first come first serve. People say they want it, never come back, and in that time you prob lost other buyers.

That is the payoff when you hold a car. The other of course is when they don't show.

I have been there, but I have also driven an hour and a half to arrive in the driveway and see someone else handing the cash for the car. I am generally first come, first served, but if someone is coming from a long way, I will hold it.

I price a car with some wiggle room but expecting $800 off on a sub $5000 car just aint gonna happen.

Yea, i'm not that much of a dick lol. If someone is coming to look at it i'll let others know, then call them if it doesn't sell.

If the person is running to the bank that's okay, i'll hold, but if they want to wait days... no thanks, deposit needed or first come first serve.

That's pretty fucked up to have multiple people coming at the same time.

That's why I end up pricing sub $5000 cars higher than $6000. Lol I end up getting satisfactory offers.

I wish I would have seen this a couple of months ago. I just graduated from Tech on the 18th of May and would have been able to mess his world up for a while. It would have been funny to walk by him when he is bench pressing and casually slide weights off of one side, hah, or drop a 45lb dumb bell and have it bounce into his shin or something.

My old 99 ranger that I drove for a few years had two show up at the same time. I told a few people that I wouldnt be home until 6pm, and gave them my address. One guy was there when I got home, and another had just called to let me know they were on thier way. The first guy was nice, took it around the block, checked it out, etc. The second set was a couple of teenagers who were mad that this other dude was there.

The first guy offered cash, so I asked the others if they had money and wanted to check it out before I made the deal with the other guy. They were waiting on daddy to get their with a checkbook, so I sold it to the first guy.

Reading Craigslist ads is a damn beating. I've been window shopping for vehicles on there, and all it's doing is making my blood pressure go up.

I was going to look at something last week, dude tells me I cant come look at it until 5:30 friday. At 5:15 he emails me to let me know it was sold.

It's the free shit that brings out the tools.

Autotrader and Cars.com, maybe even Ebay gets you a better class of people and vehicles.

That one really pisses me off. Call up someone saying I want the car, have cash and can come now. They tell me they don't get off work till 6 then at 5 text me to say its sold.

And then the ads...... ugh. AC works but does not blow cold. Interior is in excellent shape except for the torn seats and stained carpet. Engine runs great but needs headgaskets. Or go on and on about how great the car is with one tiny sentence after 8 pargaraphs that simply reads "No longer runs, that's why I am selling it."
