Hey ya'll.....

Well, my buddy was totally stoked on the 88 Carrera he purchased (or so he thought) at the German Autofest.

The seller seemed cool and honest (ahem) and refused to take a deposit on the car, so the deal was made on a handshake. My buddy offered to write a check on the spot, but again, the seller refused indicating the funds could not be verified late Sunday afternoon. Arrangements were made for the seller to bring the car up today after my buddy had his bank call and verify a cashiers check had been made out to the guy.

Well, the seller just called my buddy and has sold the car to another party!! Seems he got a better offer, or one of the previous buyers decided they wanted the car afterall. I guess there is nothing preventing this from happening, but damn, what happened to people keeping their word and being honest? Silver lining? There *may* have been some hidden issues with the car, hence, the *ahem* after my mention of honest above cuz I asked specific questions and it appears the answers were lies. Indeed, where have all the gentlemen gone?

Buddy is still looking for a nice SC or Carrera, but he knows he probably won't get another deal like this one. Maybe it was too good to be true. Let me know if you have a car for sale in the SoCal area, prefer North LA, Santa Barbara area.
