I think you've experienced what happens to people when they put a car up for sale in the local paper -- pre internet days I'd advertise something and would get all kinds of calls. When I sold my '59 VW Beetle with bad tranny for $400 I had people calling asking if it could be driven daily - even though the ad said clearly "Not Drivable" Either they don't read the article or they're unable to understand plain English.! and this happened over & over.
When I sold my Lotus people called to ask "What does it look like?" Huh? It looks like a Lotus - if you don;t know what a car looks like you probably shouldn;t be considering buying it. Besides, how do you describe what a car looks like to a non-car person? The guy who contacted you about yourE430 probably thought you'd be happy if someone showed interest in your car. Then, since he had no intention of buying it found very minor things to make it look like the car was unacceptable rather than saying he didn;t have the money. I wonder what he would have done if you said the brake dust was gone and the carpet had been replaced ;-) he'd find something else to nitpick about -- Larry T (66 MGB, 74 911, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net 800-583-8601 Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kaleb C.
