I Need Advice, There’s A Cream (Dream) Puff For Sale

Bummer. Hope the guy set a time frame on that deposit. Seen too many of these "I took a deposit" drag on for a long time because not expiration date is set.

If you really wanted the car I would have gone on the offensive from text/contact #1. I'm 20 minutes from you and have cash to buy the car.

In fact I would send a message asking if there is a deadline on the deposit, to start the questioning in motion. You want it gone, I'm here now! JMO

And for those that always have to grind for a deal. If I put firm in the price, and you offer me less than, I won't continue the process. It's done and over, don't bother me again about the item. We got a house one time because the neighbor wanted out. Seller wanted ex. 250K firm for it, worth 300-310 at the time. Another neighbor offered 240K prior to me knowing. They got shut down, said OK, a few days later that they would do it for 250K. Seller said nope. We bought it for 250K. The neighbor offered 260, seller told them you knew he was firm at 250, offered me less, so you were done when the 240K offer was done. Now you want to give me more because you are a knucklehead... Just a thought for the grinders. Know that some know what they have, aren't in the mood for negotiating, especially when the deal is a sweet one.
