Default Salesmanship 101

What not to do:

1970 FORD TORINO COBRA (Melbourne)

Date: 2010-12-29, 7:59AM EST
Reply to: see below

1970 Ford Torino Cobra. Original J code 429 CID Cobra Jet engine. Original C code 4 speed manual transmission. Original Rochester carburetor. Original 3.91 differential. Grabber Blue. New black interior. Ribbon tachometer. Excellent condition. 58,137 original miles. Zero miles on new BF Goodrich Radial T/As.

For those who have never bought a car please allow me to offer a simple four step process:

Step one: Determine the value of the car.
Step two: Inspect the car.
Step three: Place in the car owners hand the amount of cash you determined the car to be worth in steps one and two.
Step four: Drive your new car away.

Car buying is a very simple process. Please note that no where in steps one through four do you see instructions to call the owner with questions such as "Hey man, how much you askin?", "Whatchu want fo da car?' or (my favorite) "Dude, what's it gonna take to buy this car?" These and all other questions like "Is it the original engine?" will be answered by reading this ad and adhering to steps one through four above. The following phone number shall be used to leave a message to make an appointment to complete step two. 6143713615. Your message must include a name and call back number.



I'd go with 100 bucks cash and put it in the owners hand as per step 3.

Thumbs down

That must be a Craigslist ad....seems like all the idiot sellers flock there. He forgot step 0.5 - Seller lists a 'for sale price' with the ad.

I know the type... I would rather not do business with a person like that.
