Shit you hate about buyers

This.

You get the worst of the worst buyers if you are selling an under 5k sports or "sporty" car.

>"I'll let you know"
I do this because I'm usually cross shopping 4-5 different cars and pick the one who is willing to offer the lowest price (private sellers don't understand they are in the game of being a salesman now).
>"Can you do (1/3 of posted price)"
Either you have a "rebuilt title" (bank will only pay half of average retail) or someone offered less. Your loss.
>"Gee I don't know that's going to take time and it's going to be a lot of work" in a super exagerrated tone
Redoing paperwork and moving money around takes time for some people, especially if banks are involved.
>people who bring their entire family
More eyes on something will see more, regardless of mechanical knowledge.

Learn to sell your property better op.

>>"I'll let you know"
Translation: No, but I don't want to hurt your feelings.
>>"Can you do (1/3 of posted price)"
Translation: Wow, that's overpriced.
>>"Gee I don't know that's going to take time and it's going to be a lot of work" in a super exaggerated tone
Translation: Overpriced AND broken.
>>people who bring their entire family
They want to see if the wife likes it, and they can't leave the kids behind.

The worst is when they say this:
>"This other guy is selling this same car but in better condition for (extremely low ball offer), can you sell this to me for the same price?"
Maybe they should buy from the "other guy" since what they're selling is better, oh wait, he doesn't exist cause they made it all up.

I actually say that one a lot.

The reason being distance. I'd rather buy locally then go another state over for a better deal when one can be had here and technically "benefit" my community. Meh.

I literally went today to check out an SL 350 from 2007.

Was selling for 30k
Car was in mint as fuck condition and had a damn sexy amg body kit. Everything matched perfectly. A sexy eye catcher indeed. Nothing like the boring grandpa tier looking standard mercedes.
Though I didnt like the engine. No power at all. Literally my bros diesel E320 was just as powerful while wasting half the fuel. Mercedes non amg engines are always shit somehow.

Told him price was disturbingly high and I'd buy it flat out if it was 25'000.
He laughed me off and after some discussion I simply had no nerve to buy the car anymore so I told him nah I'm good lets leave it be.
Then he grabbed his phone again and talked to his boss and offered me 25'000.
I still didnt accept and went home.

My first car I was about to buy. Kinda glad I didnt accept. They tried to sell me the design more than the engine/car itself. The aftermarket exhaust was turbo loud though. Didnt fit with the power of the car. Kinda suprised it was even legal in my jewish country.

>Shit you hate about buyers
As long as they don't show up and then say "Can I use your bathroom?" as an excuse to get inside your house and then rob you.

>"I can't do that man.."
*offer handshake*
>"thanks for looking at the car though."

Done and done.

>going to meet with seller
>it's a 1.5 hour trip, mostly on the interstate
>first stop by a maverick, get a double gulp, 64oz (1800 mL for you euros) and some corn nuts for comfy
>sipping my double gulp, finish it in 45 minutes
>10 minutes from his place, my bladder caught up with me
>'I can make it' mentality
>make it, shake his hand, immediately ask if I can use his bathroom
>'Sure'
>use it, come back out, proceed to inspect car etc.
>motherfucker had NO OIL at all. I couldn't even get a reading on the dipstick
>'Thanks, I'm looking at a couple of other cars -- I'll keep in touch.'
MOTHER FUCKER

Will you take 200 dollar paymentz? (The car is 4000 dollars)
