Title: Geez, I really dont know if some sellers want to sell what they have!
Post by: rctinker on October 12, 2010, 11:39:26 PM
Found a crusin wagon about 5 hrs away from me on craigs list, very vauge on details, just Ford Pinto wagon for sale. No year or description of motor or tranny, no price, nuthin much at all.

Emailed the person for more pics and details ie motor, tranny, year, condition outside & inside ect. ect. All I got back was a price, and him saying he bought the car 5 yrs ago and hadnt started it since. Geez, does he wanna sell it or not? So set him another email stating that I was 5 hrs away and didnt want to make a 10hr round trip for a car I didnt know anything about and again asked for more indepth details and more pics. We will see what he sends back.

Gonna bum me out if this guy doesnt come through, this is the closest crusin wagon I have found around my area.

Yep, some people do not get it.  I have been getting that a lot lately and I do not understand it.  It is like the cost of gas and your time mean nothing to them.

Sometimes ads with a lack of information are scammers!   Maybe the car doesn't exist!

I would hope if it were a scam they would have picked a more pristine picture of one and forgive me for saying this, but a car worth more.

Still a cruising wagon is sweet despite what needs to be done.  We have a green one at the salvage yard near me, unfortunately they crushed nearly every side moving it around the yard.  The owner told me it was mint and drove in a few years ago.  :mad: :mad: :mad:  Mad doesn't begin to express how I felt after hearing that!

So after trading some very sparse emails with this guy, and still not recieving any photos, I text the guy today to see if I could give him a call about the wagon. He sends back a text saying he sold the wagon yesterday. :o   So...........either he already had it sold while he was talking to me or I just bugged him to much about it, so he just decided to tell me it was sold so I would leave him alone.

Guess if I was selling something I would be prepared to answer any and all questions about the item I had for sale.

Just pisses me off, finally found a crusin wagon somewhat close to me, at a price I can afford at the moment, and all I get is the run around.
