CL $300 Miata San Diego
|
Looks like he has changed the ad and is trying to run an auction of sorts:
"So, I posted my Miata for 300 about 20 minutes ago and received 20 responses so far. Therefore, I will be selling it for best offer. Anything you'll offer me over 300 let me know or just offer 5 and you can "buy it now" haha" Lame. I bought a '99 the same way - it was listed for $500, but based on getting a ton of calls/emails the seller basically told people to show up at his house and bid on it. I ended up paying $780, which isn't bad for what turned out to be a running NB. |
if he wants best offer, why doesnt he just list it on ebay? If someone listed a price of a car on craigslist, then changed his mind because he realized it was too low, and told me to pay more, I'd tell him to fuck off, even if it was a good deal.

dammit why can stuff like this never pop up in Houston.
It's always on the other two coast. |

Seems logical to me, he obviously underpriced it and realized that when he got a huge response. If you were in his shoes, would you really sell it for $300 when you've promised it to nobody and can obviously get more? |

There-in lies the problem. I've had guys agree to deals, share numbers and give addresses, and then reneg on the deal afterwards. Yes, I know it's not a contract or anything, but it's called decency. Yes, I know CL is free and you get what you pay for, but my time and gas isn't free. |

I didn't see the original ad, so perhaps I'm missing something. When I was searching for a hard top, I found a guy on CL 360 miles away that was asking a few hundred below the going rate. I was already planing on FLYING to his area to pickup a car with my girlfriend and drive home, but elected to drive my Miata to him since that was the only way I could transport the hard top home. After speaking to him and explaining the situation to him, we made an agreement to meet the next day in the afternoon. I told him I would call when I wrapped up the deal with my girlfriend's car. When I called around 3 or 4pm, he told me he had already sold it because he couldn't get a hold of me, yet I had no voicemails, no texts, no missed calls. He could of at least left me a message and given me a window of a couple hours to respond. I'm sure he got plenty of response to his ad, just like this guy in the original post, but he let me drive 6 hours each way only to sell to someone else. Now THAT was f'd up. |
