Re: Used Car Selling Integraty
Now hold it.
There was a time frame there too.
I did this (and I did) and he didn't do this.
Over 1 hour late.
I don't know how many used cars you have sold but I've never sold 1 until cash changed hands. |

The early bird gets the worm car. Tough luck, Mr. Can't Show Up On Time.
I'd have done the same thing. I'm a stickler for being on time. It's one of the few things I'm anal about.

I haven't signed the title and the car is still in my garage.
No cash in my hand yet.
Nyt!
A real check that I could take to the bank though! |

| I'm not trying to be ugly about this but you ask about integrity. It really sound to me like you made a verbal agreement with the first buyer. I haven't heard if you tried to contact them before taking the second offer. The first buyer should have asked about putting a deposit down but being a "cash only" deal may not have felt comfortable or had the the ability to give a deposit check (which can be cancelled) or leaving you with cash without anything but a handwritten receipt. I realize they didn't show on time, but my limited experience with Dallas is sometimes that is impossible. I guess what I am trying to ask is -- "Did you do everything you could to try to finalize the first deal before accepting the second (as in trying to contact the buyer). I'm not saying that you were required to, but it is sounding to me like you had a verbal agreement and the first buyer thought you did. I guess this is where you have to make the determination as none of us were there. |

2 edits | It's not my job to baby sit the buyers!
It's not my job to contact the buyer.
I don't drive their car or control the buyers cash.
I told everything that I know that is wrong or maybe with the car.
I did not do everything to help the buyer, I'm the seller.
I sell 1 car every 4 years! |
