I know and I thought 300 would be close to what it would cost till I brought it to the shop. He said he would take care of it no matter the cost because he felt so bad and if it was more(because it was better than hauling the car back) he would pay for the total cost and I only told him he should pay 700 because I added a little more than needed so I ate the extra 200(or 600 if he dont pay) As far as the paper work, professional appraisal(spelling sucks I know) and all the reciepts ect he said "owe crap I forgot them I will get them out asap"
I can repost his add and then also show you all the stuff he had listed and half was not there(should charge him with internet fraud) or no where near show condition as the firebird was and as he has it listing.
He knows he got a killer deal and also said he was a millionare so what is another 400 to him. he was asking 22.5 for his car I was asking 16.5 so I gave the 5k also know he gets my car home dont touch a thing and lists it for 23000 so he knows he eather got a steal or he is crazy but I will say I bet that firebird is the best car he has because it was clean.
But yes I would like him to pay up. 400 wont make me starve as he said in one of his emails but it is the right thing to do and not 3 to 4 months later because he says he is so buisy.
Last thing you are right on.... I could have been killed and totalled the car I was going to drive it 3 miles home that night (0100 in the morning) he said hell ya it will make it the car is perfect LMMFAO it would have killed the car and maybe me so I had to go home get my trailer rig up the rear and load it to bring it to the shop the next day.
