Just want to share a story.
I bought a 993tt in Maple Ridge, BC just before xmas of last year, did some repairs and cleanup and is now absolutely pristine. I got an email from the seller, one month ago, wanting to buy the car back, something about how he toured last summer with his father and now his father has passed away. He has some associated emotional ties.
I thought about it for a few days and told him I would like to get my cost and taxes back and forget about the cost for repairs and cleanup which amounted to about $3000.00. He thought my purchase price, less taxes and repairs was more correct.
I then told him I would just keep it. The next day he emails me and offers $1000 less. I reluctantly agreed to sell at this price, but urged him to come and pick it up before I change my mind. He tells me he his coming, going to rent a U-Haul trailer.

Two weeks transpire, and I email him about his plans so I can make my plans. We are going to talk by phone. I called him on his cell, he has a baby in his hands and will call back in 5 minutes. The return call never came. The following day I called again and this time he is driving, but he will pull over and call back in 15 minutes. Again the return call never came. I emailed him and was told he would call back the next day. What a surprise, the return call never came.

So my question is: Why would a seller,with seller's remorse, be so inconsiderate?
and if he finally calls should I now refuse to sell to him?
