STOP BACKING OUT YOU FUCKING COWARDS REEEEEE

Sounds like you're trying to sell a tractor to some hillbillies tbqh

Welcome to real estate where you have "looky loos". They have no intention of buying, but just go around visiting houses out of curiousity. You have that in the car world too. They just want free test drives in different cars. That's how they pass their time with their "car hobby".

>guy comes to come look at my car that I was selling
>guy rolls up in a t-boned Honda Accord
>the guy looks like a more hoboish version of junk rat from over watch
>tells me if I can turn on engine
>turn it on
>the guy starts reving the engine from the throttle body for a few minutes
>when he he finished doing that he started to twist off radiator cap off with the car running
>hot coolant shoots out and some lands on his arm
>"essssuhhhhuhuh!"
>he shakes his arm in pain
>I try not to laugh and I ask him he's ok
>he quickly cuts me of and says
>"I thought this was a Honda Civic?"
>what.jpg
Nah dude it's a corolla.
>"oh ok I'm going to go look at another car I'll text you if I'm still interested."
>he walks in shame as he gets in his beat to shit Honda
>when he left I decided to go to get some fast food from caca jr
>see the dude parked in the same shopping center where the caca Jr. is at but he's parked far away from it
>he was just sitting in his car looking at his arm where he burnt him self
>text him I saw him at the shopping center and ask him if he was ok
>"dude now I'm not interested in buying your car anymore now you're just creeping me out" is what he responded with.
>I tell him I was passing by to get food right across where he was parked
>no reply after that

That was my first experience trying to sell a car on Craigsbitch.

I forgot to mention my add didn't say I was selling a Honda in any way.

I made a guy travel from PA in an FC rx7.. I shook his hand then bailed last minute because

This all sounds normal

>be selling miata super cheap
>1997, great condition, 100k miles for $2500
>guy is "very" interested
>meet him half way at a public place
>asks 9001 questions
>take him for a drive
>you can see his excitement
>hes been asking questions for an hour now
>finally ask if he wants to talk money
>he offers me $500
>laugh and ask if hes serious
He was serious...
He explained that he is a poor college student looking for a cheap reliable vehicle.
Totally dude... ill drop $2000 off the asking price...

>car for sale, buyer from 60 miles away, doesn't want to come all this way
>looks around on google maps and finds a shop next to me
>potential buyer pays the mechanic for the inspection
>mechanic finds a long list of (mostly) imagined problems

needs battery
why?
because it's not new anymore

needs alignment
why, did you put it on the machine or are the tires worn unevenly?
no, I just it's a good idea

needs new brakes all around (the pads were MAYBE 1/2 gone)
I'll do them
well, I wouldn't drive a car whose brakes were not replaced by a mechanic

at this point I gave up on talking to the buyer
no point in trying to convince him the mechanic is just trying to rip me off

Selling my gf's 2002 kia wagon for $500 because I hooned the shit out of it when I got her a new (to her) car and I don't need it. Runs fine, maintained, a/c works, has kenwood deck and speakers. 90k on the clock, timing belt done @ 80k

College students replying to ad and trying to find faults and beat me up on price. Fuckin pissed me off because I live out of town and was driving this piece of shit to work so I could be rid of it.

Finally a sensible person calls and asks if I can meet at supermarket.
>fuck better not be another dipshit
show up, guy pops the hood and asks where I live
>20 miles up blahblah
You have the title with you
>yeah
Well how you getting home?

I made him drive around the block for posterity but he droped me off and I walked to the nearest bar and waited for the old lady to come get me.

I'm just going to start collecting them in the side yard.

>post every bit on info i can logically include in CL ad for shitbike
>basically ugly, but runs and drive really good, all new carb parts, chain, tires, and battery
>put it at a price that anyone seriously wanting a bike can afford (1k obo)
>hey man will you take $500 for that (sight unseen) x10
>questions answered by ad already
>had someone email me to insult the bike
>then 2 days later his offer $300 + his xbox one (console plebs)
>got several people asking if they could come look at it
>said yes and that I would meet them near me
>none of them ever came

I took the ad down after 2 weeks because I kept getting repeat shit and no one showing up. I would have taken the first $700-800 if anyone came in person too.

>have shitbox ranger
>literally dont need it
>its a piece of shit but it runs reliably and starts every time
>needs parts like any ranger with +200k on the odometer
>list on CL for 500 bucks
>multiple "I'll get you 100 for it"
>Fuck you, it runs, youre not getting a running truck for 100
>multiple "i donno, 500 seems kinda high"
>Fuck you, I met you 15 miles from my house, it OBVIOUSLY got here
>multiple "Ill give you a gun for it"
>nope.
>Fucking dipshits, you can barely get a running car for less than a thousand in my area
>would literally accept 300 bucks for it

fucking craigslist cucks

What the fuck, is this a bizarre Craigslist thread?

OP here

>selling MR2 for 5700
>finally get a buyer willing to pay proper fucking cash
>best he could do is 4500
>whatever, I'm not poor and don't want to pay insurance on it any longer and deal with more buyers
>hand over the car
>guy calls me 1 hour later telling me it's a great deal and he's up for paying full price

Yeah, I'm glad a bought new and won't have to deal with this shit for another decade

What gun?

I don't even understand what there is to "check out" when you're looking at a car. Everything should be described in the listing already. When I show up, I am just looking to see that the description matches. You should know before you even go whether or not you're going to buy the fucking thing.

Because not everyone is autistic into the details like apparently you are, also Craigslist is scammer central so you want to see if people are full of shit or not

Pretty much this. I buy cars constantly to flip, people can't beleive I literally look at the car to make sure it has wheels and isn't a write off, then hand them the cash.

Went to buy an aurion (laye model v6 Camry in aus), meet the dude at his house. He gives me the key, I start it, it runs, I say are you happy with bank transfer? He says "don't you want to test drive it or anything?", I just say no that's fine, do you want the money?

listing says headgasket/clutch/timing belt was performed

you pop the hood and see oil leaking from everything

my common sense is tingling

>MR2 FOR 5700
>finally a buyer willing to pay proper cash
>willing to pay proper cash
>pay proper cash
>proper cash
>5700$ for a rwd 20+ year old corolla
Don't make me fucking laugh

The lowerballerism is fucking real on Craigslist. If youre persistent you will get a serious buyer though. Usually takes 2 months, but I always get a serious buyer who pays bluebook.

I'll do that shit to a dealership if I have a weekday afternoon to kill, but I'll never do it to an individual seller. That shit sucks.

I swear, college students are almost as bad as dindus.
>believe they deserve handouts because they're in school
>already living on somebody else's money
I worked when I was in school, it isn't hard to do both. Fug

An AR-15 assualt rifle. I told them I don't plan on shooting up any schooles and drove off

>"An AR-15 assualt rifle."
>Ar-15
>Assault Rifle
>semi automatic
>Used for hunting primarialy because of low recoil
>takes two to three shots to center mass to kill someone
>makes a joke about killing kids
>mfw i found the brainwashed idiot

by the way an ar 15 is worth more than your truck and it stands for armalite rifle not assault rifle

I don't care what it stands for, it's a weapon and we don't need them on our streets.

Found one

Found the cuck

>Need a gun to defend themselves

And I'm the cuck? Obviously you guys can't fight for shit

>Selling shitty dropped GS500
>1500 firm in the height of riding season
>Keep getting offers for 1200, 1000, 950,
>I said 1500, i mean 1500
>One guy keeps at it while i'm on vacation and out of state
>Asks to take a look at it
>Say i'm out of state
>Well how about tomorrow?
>I'm still out of state
>Can you come back?
>no, i'm out of state
>I'll give you 1100 today
>I'm out of state, and the price is 1500
>This is a bad deal, i saw one for 1200, bla bla bla
>Tell him to link me to the 1200 one and i'll match it
>He says the listing is gone
>The bike is now 1600
>WUT DATS BULLSHIT!
>the bike is now 1700, Want to go for 2K?
>Sell the bike a week later to some faggot sandals and corona cut off shirt with oakley sunglasses type with hair plugs

>doesn't enjoy sport shooting
>calls others cucks

Cars kill more people each year, so we don't need fast gasoline or diesel engines. We just need self driving electric cars. Cars are practically over weighted super bullets, which are misused far more often than guns. I would rather live with both cars and guns though. If you life in the U.S please move out and go to Sweden or Germany.

I can't ride my gun to work

>believe they deserve handouts because they're in school
I graduated from university and remember all those college students just like that. But they also believed that scamming others was a natural part of life too. People have given up having ethics ever since Reagan made it fashionable to do so.

>le epic "everything was better when x was alive" meme

Why not sell the gun on armslist so you can buy a shitty craigslist car to drive your wife's son to public school in?

Not with that attitude, you can't.

>has a car without a/c

hahahaha poorfag

Only on my weekend car

My daily has heated seats/mirrors, climate control, and voice activated nav. What do you have?

>he has a busted weekend car

Ayy poor people

I don't need to fight, I'm not a trash person who has to resort to violence when dealing with strangers out on the streets. I mind my own business but keep a gun with me in case violence comes my way whether I want it or not.

spoons make me fat

I would have taken that AR, dude. If he's willing to throw in at least 3 mags, 300 rounds of 5.56 and sign a bill of sale, that is a solid trade.
