So some of you may remember the thread a few weeks ago on the 1974 cadillac that i was purchasing for $600.00.
Well everything was going fine, i paid $300.00 about two weeks ago, and then sent the second $300.00 a few days ago. Well he received it on Saturday (should have anyway)... My dad had to go up to Florida on business, and he was going to fly there and fly back, but since the car was up there he decided to go up, and drive the car back. Now the interesting thing is, through this whole deal i was never able to speak to the owner of the car on the phone. I spoke to his wife, his brother, but never him, I only communicated with him over email... so i should've smelled a rat there, but i didn't.
So my dad calls on Friday, and says he'd like to speak to the owner (to ask questions like, is the car in the right condition to be driven 1000 miles, etc.). The wife picks up. She says her husband's in and out, and can't talk. My dad says this isn't buying a baseball card or anything, it's the sale of a car, it's a big deal, and he'd like to speak to the owner.
Saturday afternoon the wife calls back and says that her husband doesn't want to deal with me or my dad. she then hangs up.
So i emailed the guy and said I expect to receive the $600.00 within a week... he says he'll send it "at his convenience", but i doubt i'll ever get it, because he originally wanted me to pay the $600.00 as soon as possible (i had to borrow $300 of it), because he needed it for "another project" he had going.
Anyway, haven't been able to contact him since, not via email or phone, so i'm going up there to try to speak to him personally.
