I give up! Too many messed up people with 914s, Boycott deutchclassic! Options

So I was sent a listing for a 73 that looked to be in good shape and was being sold for $2500 about 1.5hrs north of me in Hellertown, PA. I contacted the guy and arranged to look at/purchase it this AM. He said to call him this AM before I left to make sure he was there. He didnt answer at 10am when I called, so I waited. He wanted to do this before 12, but I didnt want to startup there before I heard from him (I did that before and was burned when the guy sold the car before I got there). I get a hold of him at 11 and arrange to come up. I tell him I have money with me and I am hitting the road at that time.

I get to within 20min of this guys house and he calls me to tell me he just sold it. He said that that is the way the car biz is. I was pissed as that was 2+ hrs and $30 in gas I cant get back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) WTF is wrong with people!? A mans word is nothing to some, apparently. The guy selling the car was Bill Komoroski who happens to be one of the folks who throws the Deutchclassic near Hellertown every year. Screw that. I will never go there. If this is the kind of folks that this attracts, I would rather not be associated.

I am soooo freaking pissed off at the moment I cant sit still. This is not the first time I have been dealt with this way. I am pretty freaking fed up with looking for a car in the rust belt. Nothing like wasting time for lower quality junk and difficult people.

Can't help but feel for you, my 16 year old son made a deal with his hard earned money to buy a Toyota 4x4, wife was going to go with him to follow him home as it was three hours away. Getting ready to leave wife said we should call just to make sure he will be home, called and guy said oh yeah, I sold it last night. Never a thought about my son making a three hour trip with his hard earned cash in hand, difficult to not track him down and sort him out, wife says not worth it, son buys different veh. but it left him with a huge mistrust of people's word, maybe not a bad thing in the long run but still it is a shame. Reading my previous post I feel the need to point out I have bought from Dr. Evil, not the shithead, case anyone thought I was defending the shithead. Looking forward to seeing what you finally end up with Doc.
