I hate selling things out of my home. I thought I had the truck sold. They asked me what name I wanted on the Money Order. They agreed on a price. We agreed on a time and day. Then I said I needed to make sure they got there before my bank closed so that I could cash out the MO. And I said if they didnt, I wouldnt turn the truck over.

First they said they had things that prevented them from getting there by then. I held firm.

Then they said they had to come later, about an hour after my bank closed because of...(reason not being shared) I said no.

Now, I gave them a better cash deal because they could get it this weekend. I had another cash offer, $250 more, but she couldnt get it until next weekend. I would lose my PT Cruiser if I didnt get the truck sold this weekend. So I was losing $250 if I took their deal but it was worth it if I could get the car of my dreams.

Then tonight, 16 hours before they are to show up with all that money to buy it, they tell me in a PM that they want to drive the truck up to their town, an hour and a half away, and have their mechanic look at it.

I understand inspections. i get them done. I would have GLADLY driven the truck up there myself, taken time out of my store, paid someone to watch it, (more money out of my pocket) and had it done so they could rest assured the truck would pass. I know it would as I just had it at my mechanics and the oil change place, and pumped over $300 into it to get it ready for sale.

But I saw this as a stalling measure. And, they wanted to take my truck, not me. Far away. On a spare of the moment. NO! No one takes my car that far. Not without me. And, bottom line, the deal was done, and they knew I was under a time limit. I think they didnt want me to cash out the MO. That seemed to be the sticking point. Something fishy was going on.

I dont think I was being treated fairly. Now I have to start all over again to sell this truck because my other cash offer has chosen and put money down on another truck. I am going to lose my PT Cruiser. Bastards!
