Have you ever just asked if its for sale??

I always stop and ask about cars I see, and like to strike up a conversation with people about them. I'm always very honest about my intentions and let them know what my plans for the car would be. If it's a rusty parts car, I don't try to feather it up, I just tell them I would like to buy it for parts. If I'm interested in a car that can be saved, I'll tell them that too, that I'll be working on it to put it back on the road, if not for myself than for someone else who can enjoy it!! No harm in asking, and I always tell them that I can take no for an answer...I hear it all the time. I am married after all!!!LOL!! Geof
