If nothing else this post has presented a lot of different buying/selling ideals. I asked about a 100 questions, drove the car, kicked the tires about 10 times, drove 4 hours round trip, took another 2 or 3 hours checking out the car,,, then made an offer the next day and drove back 2 days later to pick it up.
The way I see it, I am investing a large chunk of money on a used car,,, better make sure I know what I am getting into. Thats just me though, I am a bit more anal and picky than others.
Why would anyone drive hours to see a car and not ask a million questions? Seems like your asking for trouble if you not thorough when buying a used car.
Pontiac10th, no offense or anything, but maybe these people dont buy the car because the way you approach the sale?
If I or anyone asks a lot of questions and you say that Im looking for a show car,,, well your gonna put me off and I most likely wont buy your car because of the impression you gave me by a comment like that. Its almost like your throwing out a disclaimer about the car and it also is a bit insulting. Of course the person looking at the car knows its a used car and not a show car. If I start asking a lot of questions and your not eager to answer them, then I think your hiding something. Especially if you tell me its a used car.
