Thinking about picking up a new car

There has been this L98 91 Z around the corner from me for as long as I can remember and the guy NEVER drives this thing. It sits in the same spot and never moves. I saw him mowing his lawn the other day and pulled over to talk to him. He bought the car brand new, left the thing totally stock (not even exhaust or a radio), and it only has 52,000 miles on it. I took a good look at the car, and its in great shape. The body is straight as an arrow, the paint is perfect, and the interior is spotless. The only thing I saw wrong is very rusty rotors, and dry rotted tires. He said that he would part with it for $4,000. So I think im gonna put my car up for sale and pick this thing up. Sounds like a deal to me!

I just found an awesome deal like that too, those kind of cars you need to jump on....My irocz, the guy posted an Ad for it on the internet, and my dad called him an hour after the Ad was posted, and the guy said the next day that he already had like 6 callers on it, but we decided to buy it, because we had first dibbs, because we were the first caller!!!...it has like 80,000 on the body, and less than 20,000 on the motor(out of a VETTE!!)....there isn't many deals like that around anymore, you gotta jump on those things immediatly.

Hmm, having sold many cars I will tell you, thats a very common way to put pressure on people. Tell them a bunch of other people called, but they have first dibs, in more than one instance ive told that to several potential buyers, when I could really care less about who was there first, and more about who will get me the money first

well i didn't really care if there was other potential buyers, i saw the car, liked the car, it fit in my budget, so I bought it, and I think i got an awesome car for the money i paid for it...it has absolutely no rust because its from south carlina, and the guy had a low price tag on it, so I snatched it up quick fast and in a hurry
