So my wife has decided she is tired of her '10 MBZ E coupe- it is in showroom condition with 18K miles. So I list it on Auto Trader and have had a lot of inquiries...all good so far.
Here is the rub, if someone can't afford a car why the heck do they bother to call and schedule appointments and then never show up and fail to even call to cancel? I had two calls from younger sounding guys (subjective I know) who spent almost 30 minutes asking me every detail about the car and then scheduled appointments to see it. I agreed to their requested time and then they don't call, don't show up, nothing. Frustrating as I kind of adjust my schedule to accommodate them. The funny thing is with the way I keep my cars, usually it's the first real buyer (someone with the money) that sees the car and immediately buys it. I never even have to haggle over price. OK - I am done. Oh, she wants a 997.2 ('09-'11) 4S six-speed coupe..... |

It's always that way selling a car. I bought my daughters a newer car. I have their old civic up for sale. Even a cheaper car people are ridiculous on. I'm all for I will be at this place for a half an hour. You & anyone else can come to see it then. If your really interested bring the cash & it can be yours. Selling is always a PITA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
