I suppose the moral of the story is:

1) if you are a buyer, have your money readily dispensible in a cashiers check form. The seller started his for sale thread by saying "The first person that shows up with a cashiers check for $9,999...." That certainly is one way to sell a car. As a seller of myself, I hate it when you make all of these arrangements with people (put them in a line) and then half of theme flake or don't show up, so by the end you are saying "the first person to show up with cash at my door" anyway.....

2) if you are a seller consider whether you just want money or if you care about where your car ends up or whose home it goes to. Whoever ends up with this car will be pleased, but will have paid the flipper a handsome profit. Frankly, I have no problem with people selling things cheap, in fact I hope to find that kind of a seller... who gives me a bit of a break on account of the fact that I will become a Porsche owner and baby his/her car ...the thing is in this case the owner sold it cheap to someone who is a flipper and all the others who were waiting in line were shut out (there was only 1 car).

But then again it goes back to ...as a potential buyer ... do you have your cash ready? I don't (but I should). I would have had to say I'm thinking about it so ...the owner wanted/needed to sell and got it done, what else is there to say.
