okay, so this guy is coming soon to my house to come check out my car... the thing is, it seems like he wants the car real real bad, he is bringing cash with him and plates so it seems too good to be true hahah. Anyone got some helpful advice for me?

"take the money" is good advice

have him come to the bank with you before you give him the title... could be fake bills. or DEMAND a cert. cheque or money order.

Have you negotiated a price yet? If not, he'll probably low ball a bit, but because he has cash in hand and plates and is ready to take it off your hands he thinks you'll accept.

Since it's cash, it's most likely going to be lower than what you expect.

My 2 cents.

imported_kIeRaN

okay, that sounds like a good idea, so if its cash, get it all checked, then hand over the ownership? bank is just down the street so it shouldnt be a problem

imported_kIeRaN

im gonna try and stay really firm on my asking price, because i think its already pretty low. And i know he wants it really bad so im pretty sure he will buy it

imported_Promoking

If his name is palominoxp, don't believe a word he says. This guy's a TCC Noob that likes to blow smoke up a seller's ***.

Let us know what happens with this sell!

check the money and stay firm...

thats about it....

imported_kIeRaN

okay, just came back, im asking 4000 for the car, he said 3400 and he would pay me and take the car away today :S i really dunno what i should do, thats a little low if u ask me, he wants me to call him back later to tell him what i think but i dont think i will accept his offer

imported_dmacbo

you almost got half a million kms on it, i'd let er go for 3400

Turbo4U

Stay firm to your price, it all depends on how bad you want to sell the car

The Prophet

call him and say you cant go any lower than like 3700... thats halfway and if he cant meet you there then tell him thanks anyways...

if your in a hurry to sell the car, then take 3400

imported_kIeRaN

i thought that same thing and im probably gonna do that....

imported_GoldBadge

You can look at it this way too,

There will be more and more cars for sale as summer gets near...so maybe the chances of you selling your car daown the road will diminish because of a more competitive market.

Tough call, try to talk thim up though. He's offering you 15% less than what you want. tell him you won't give more than a 10% discount.

Stay firm to the price that you want. And make sure the bills are all legit, so take him and the money to a bank.

imported_kIeRaN

i would have thought that the sale would be easier rite in spring time, because thats when people are looking for sweet summer rides. Its ok tho, the guy only had 3400 bux so i said no thanks. im sure if i am patient, i will get what i want

thanks for everyones help

a buddy of mine has done this twice and got really good deals.

open up autotrader.

look for people selling a car you are interested in, show up with 60% cash and if you like the car offer it then and there. Take it or leave it kind of thing.

Most people will tell you to screw off, but a big enough percentage out there needs money fast for this to work.

Whether they have drug or gambling problems, or they need money for an operation is not your concern.

just something to keep in mind.

spracingsports

that might be your downfall
