I decided not to share the pain of trying to get rid of SWMBA's korean car. It has nothing to do with mercedes, other than she sold the E300 and got this, and I want to put the R107 in the garage instead of the korean car.
Two months this thing has been taking up space. Constantly renewing CL posting. Lowering asking price in an attempt to spark interest. Rejecting offensively low offers and know it alls who try to tell me how to sell it better. Getting very low trade in offers for the thing that are below what was offered when she was purchasing a replacement. I knew this was a turd on wheels when she got it. SO, this weekend, I get a guy who makes a low ball email offer without seeing the car. He is looking at same model two or more years older and almost twice the miles, making same price bid as the older cars. Then another guy, never considered a korean car shows interest and makes appointment to see it yesterday, but flakes. Lowball larry and Flaky fred reschedule to see the car today. Low ball is here first, does test drive, reviews file with all paper since new. Makes a higher low ball offer which I counter with SWMBA's lowest allowed price. He walks. I go grocery shopping, having not heard from Fred after telling him Larry did not purchase. Flaky Fred calls me while I am mid grocery trip and says he is at my front door. Dang! While I drive over, Larry texts that he will up the offer a few hundred. I text that I am meeting another interested party, and take Fred for a test drive. Fred is kicking tires and might call back after I tell him Larry has made another offer. And, I return to shopping trip so I can make dinner. While driving home, Larry calls and says he is really interested and wants to review the file in the morning so he can chat up the dealership about extended warrantee SWMBA got that covers the car out to 2020 instead of the short time standard off the lot. He also wants all manner of paperwork, since SWMBA is no longer living in the state. I play along, and juggle the cats so this deal will maybe go through. I had reposted the car this morning, since the listing expired, and with felines in the air, hissing and spitting, another guy responds to the listing. Two months, nobody wants this car, now I have three guys in 48 hours with a chub for the car. clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Oct 6, 2014, at 10:08 AM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes wrote: > Don't we have a list for that kind of behavior?
