I don't have time to hold the hand of a timid buyer. I'm glad it worked out for the OP. But, as I said, I think he was VERY lucky

Yes, I totally agree. One reason I enjoyed typing that up.
However, note that most of this drama was self-contained.
Seller was not exposed to any of it.
In fact, let's look at it from the seller's perspective:
Wednesday morning, I place ad.
Sugar calls and sets up an appointment to see the car after work.
The next day, Sugar says he's interested, and requests PPI.
Says we can drive it to local shop after work.
I drop off car, and Sugar drives me home.
Friday, Sugar tells me of PPI results.
He comes to my house after work, and makes me a cash offer.
We go to garage, and I drive the 911 to Sugar's, and then he drives me home.
I think it was fairly smooth for the seller.
Seller knew he had a buyer in hand vs. 3 in the CL bush.
