I ALWAYS call or ask buyer to call to confirm before driving or waiting on a CL deal.

Had the exact same issue on a BMW earlier this year. Agreed to buy (at asking!) Sunday night, but didn't have cash. Fellow said he was getting off work Monday at 5 and so to meet him then, since he wasn't going to be able to leave work early. Sold car to someone else (new buyer) at 4:30... The kicker was that the next morning he called me, I of course let it ring to voicemail, and he offered to sell me an early '90s Camry or some such. Oh, okay, I drove in my MBZ to see your BMW and maybe I want to buy a Toy car instead? Guy fancied himself a dealer (and had the license to prove it) but I'm willing to bet he didn't have many repeat customers... -Tim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
