Well when I talked to the guy on the phone he said at that time he really was not looking for a 124 etc, and what would I take. Well, I told him its a very clean low mile 124 for 5 grand or less, probably not going to be a whole lot of room to drop but he is more than welcome to make an offer. The things he described as wrong with the car sounds like he is looking for a new car or perhaps a car that is a year or 2 old. Not one that is 14 years old and not certainly one in this price range. Geez. Would have been one thing if he would have just said he was not interested, but he made it out like Im hiding things about the car, and its just a total beat up piece of crap. At this point, I would not sell the car to the guy even at full price. He is the type I prefer not to deal with because they are a pain in the ass later. If the do buy something, later the bitch and want you to fix this or fix that, or pay them back because they took their 500 240D to the dealer and spent 5k on it or something.
