I said I dont want to look at the car, just want to pay you and make it mine for 5000. he says, will get back to you later............ then around 5pm says he has a few interested parties........ and I would be on his list. told him I was the easiest sale he would ever have....... after farting around all day, I walked. why list if you dont want to sell??? I certainly dont get it............ 1931 Ford Model A town car slant windshield - $5000 (Suffield) http://images.craigslist.org/01212_a...xR_600x450.jpg http://images.craigslist.org/01212_a...DxR_50x50c.jpghttp://images.craigslist.org/00L0L_8...0LK_50x50c.jpghttp://images.craigslist.org/01515_9...0fl_50x50c.jpghttp://images.craigslist.org/00Q0Q_7...3L8_50x50c.jpghttp://images.craigslist.org/00S0S_j...7cD_50x50c.jpg © craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap (google map) 1931 Ford model a fuel: gas title status: clean transmission: manual Thinking about selling my 1931 model A. It starts up good. Bought it a couple years ago and was told the engine was rebuilt. Needs an exhaust gasket ( have one included just never got around to it) I have it registered but haven't used it much but it always brakes fine and runs good. It's converted to hydraulic brakes and has a new master cylinder in it etc. Also newer battery and a few other parts. The interior isn't perfect but is ok as is for a driver. The doors are rusted in the bottom on the inside but an easy fix since its overall solid there. The body does has some rust but no apparent rust through - an overall solid car. It's registered in Ct. Selling with a bill of sale and a copy of my reg. ( no titles for this age in ct). Paint is a 10 footer has some cracks and peeling and the tires are a little cracked but hold air fine.block number 3533188 and registration and tag 4601458. It looks like a survivor or old resto visually and can be used as is. Selling for $5000 firm. That is a steel if you know these cars. If the ad is still up it's still for sale. Located in. Suffield ct. Cash sale only no trades unless you have a pre 1968 mustang fastback to trade me nothing else considered sorry.

Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... I was going to call the guy, outstanding price! He lives in the next town over, so it would have been an easy buy for me but I have enough cars... ya think 4 Model As in the family is enough?
|
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... I'm betting there are a few thousand of us on this forum that would buy that for $5000.00.

Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... the guy sold it for more than 5K...
|
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... I'd give him $8000 if it was s Town Car!
|
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... Run from this clown!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... A couple of scenarios........
He's does this knowingly....advertise low...gets lots of interest with people willing to pay more...... or he honestly didn't expect the results of the ad and then realizes he could make more with all the inquiries he got offering more....... |
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... I had a game player when looking for my Model A... I don't play games and looked elsewhere...
|
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... You just wasn't meant to have it and maybe that was a good thing in the end.
|
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... The ad says it all in the first few words. "Thinking about selling my Model A".... Craigslist Flakes...
|
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... i believe it is a scamm artist ! Do not walk, Run away! Wayne
|
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... well from his point of view (and ive been in his boat before) when someone responds to my ad and wants to buy the item THEN THERE NOW i usually hold off as it seems they are entirely too eager to meet me.
and honestly who buys a car sight unseen is probably what hes thinking too... |
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... I know a guy that did the same thing, list low, get calls that up the price a little, (bidding war among callers) remove the add and sell it privately at the higher price.

exactly! funny, because the ad was listed for awhile and still is-he is moving and has to sell it quickly................ right. |
Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... Everything you said to the seller though sounds like you are a scammer. 99% of people wouldn't buy a car site unseen. I was selling a 2000 Impala last month, and man I got the messages saying basically everything you said, I want the car, I'll send the money and pick it up. I can see why he was cautious.

Re: tried to buy this on Saturday......... cautious? OK I get that..............
but if someone wants to send me 5000. and there is no risk to me, I certainly wouldn't turn it down. I have bought many cars this way-wired the cash, sent cash through walmart etc. on the other side, have sold cars to Norway, Australia, Italy etc. money was always wired, easy sales and no haggling. no reason to be cautious if money is in your acct, you pull it out and it is in your hands............ much better then a tire kicker. |
