People amaze me...OT

I posted my car up for sale on a site called post pig..It was on there for a few weeks and I finally get a e-mail from a guy wanting to buy it but he was off island. When he gets back we meet up he "claims" he wants to buy it. He is going to get it financed through USAA same poeple I have it financed through so it would have been a easy deal which was supposed to take place yesterday I called him about 5 times e-mailed him and he never got back to me which pissed me off I was willing to sell it for a lose and he would have been getting a good deal. What pisses me off the most I had a car lined up to buy when he bought mine. The guy got kind of upset because we couldn't do the deal this past weekend due to some bank issues and then on the day we are supposed to complete the deal he flakes out..I took some of my stereo, put stock wheels back on and for what nothing. So if anybody is interested in buying a 2004 STI with 17.6k for under blue book let me know. OK I am done.

now you guys kinda know what i go through on a daily basis~
"oh yeah, we are coming in at 2pm" i cancel some planned things for the day-
and then it's a no show-
i don't care if its a profession or just a simple private party sale---- it can get emotional- sometimes the stakes can be high-
like in your case.
like i said though- that one "prospect" has yet to get back to me- and i will direct him in both you and dan's direction

I hate people who half commit to anything whether it be buying a car, participating in a business venture or even a sporting event. People need to stick to their word and if they have doubts then just say so out of courtesy for the other person.

I agree I would have been ok if he would have just called and said he changed his mind no big deal. But I got the car ready to sell to him and even had a killer deal lined up on a new car but that got all ****ed up...

Why do people use postpig.com when you can post you car for free on islandpreviews.com. Plus your ad gets put in their weekly paper also.
