FUCKING KILL ME PLEASE

> tfw found an s2000 in mint condition with 20k miles for $7900 on Craigslist
> go to check it out, it is in perfect and drives amazing
> the owner is some autistic old boomer who performed routine maintenance, garage kept it, and knew nothing about used car prices
> say I want it but it will take me a day or two to get the cash
> just emailed me that he sold it

>looking at cars when you dont have the cash either on hand or in a savings account.
thats still shitty what he did to you though. "Hey i have someone interested working out the money situation but if it falls through i will let you know." is all it wouldve taken.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

You should have at least put a deposit on it if it was that good of a deal. Most sellers are happy to wait a couple of weeks as long as they have a committed buyer

I'm an elitist classic car guy, and even I think that's a sexy car.

It's a blessing in disguise, though. Save your money, it's nice to have a safety net.

>thanks for offering the cash that we agreed upon, however i'll turn it down in favour of a sweaty autism who came by yesterday that didn't have the money to buy it. i'll get back to you if he doesn't show up in the next few weeks

I had the money in savings bonds I was gonna cash them at my bank but it was the weekend someone must have had that much cash on hand

>selling S2000 on Craigslist
>belonged to my gay son who recently died after a lengthy battle with AIDS
>don't really care about the car and just want to get rid of it quickly
>price it low so it sells fast
>get about 1,000 calls in the first day
>decide to sell it to the first person who shows up with cash in hand
>get call from some autistic loser neckbeard looking kid
>shows up wearing cargo pants and a stained DRAGONFORCE t-shirt
>tells me he wants the car but needs to work out some financial issues
>clearly a poor idiot with no money just wasting my time
>still heartbroken about my gay son's death, can't stand to see car in driveway
>some guy who owns a dealership stops by an hour later, offers to pay me on the spot
>sell car
>email autistic boy and tell him car is sold
>receive repeated and increasingly angry emails laced with profanity and incoherent ramblings mentioning Hitler and aliens
>finally sends me a picture of himself eating his own shit
>I just wanted to sell the car and move on with my life

This

Jesus how do you people not know how dealing works? You can bring $1000, have a written agreement between both that he'll hold it as a deposit on the car till you pay the rest.
