He said he’s away from St. Louis now and can’t see the car, and he’s really busy with his daughter’s wedding. I said no reasonable person buys a used car without driving it, and for him to let me know when he can stop by to see it. So I assume that’ll be the last I hear from him.
What’s the angle and how do they expect to cheat me? If he sends me a fake check, will he really expect me to let him pick up my car?
Pretty depressing when everybody appears to be a crook.
Thanks

Have your son handle selling the car you bought for him.
Just double check who he is selling it to - how he is getting paid.
He needs to learn to do things for himself.
