reply to ad on CL Options

[boxstr]

I asked a seller for a phone number to call about a VW on CL. This is the reply I received:

I don't send strangers my home address without an idea of when to expect them otherwise they take it as an open invitation to come pound on my front door whenever they please.

I no longer send strangers my telephone number when selling a bargain because they often turn out to be stalkers who call my home 10, 50, 100 times in a row or until I am forced to call the authorities.

So again as my ad clearly states: Email your specific questions. I will answer them. When you are prepared to come have a look just email and ask to come to my home when you are actually available and ready to do so. I will then send you my address IF the vehicle is still available at that time.

If you require a telephone conversation may I suggest you send me your telephone number and the best time to call you.

And finally if at any time you should feel yourself becoming indignant by the way I choose to conduct my sale then feel free to shop elsewhere without notifying me.

Thank you for your interest.

Well ,I couldnt resist. I had to look , but don't see in my area, therefore, I have to guess it is not him.(after that kind of talk, and telling me he wants a Porsche instead, it better not be him ! ) I told a guy today of 914 world , he wants to trade his 71' button rag top with re-built engine for a 914 , after a discussion. Oregon is far from Cali, but I really think this VW might be worth your checking into. the engine is chromed out and borded.( it is not installed)chrome in engine bay. Nice Fuchs and tires. I did see some rust, and frame has been changed. If you are interested, let me know, and I will get you two together.
