I wouldn't say this hurts me much ever since my cars' prices reflect the condition.
It's not my intention to use reverse psychology here either.
However, this time, it was at play a little. This person definitely prided themselves on being able to get a good deal and fix anything. They continually talked about things they had fixed, the shop they had access to, and how many cars they own. Every thing I said was met with a counter point.
- This will need a timing belt
"Oh, I can knock that out quickly"
- the power steering doesn't work at idle
"None of my cars have PS anyway!"
- it needs cosmetic stuff
"This car looks better than my others! I want a project anyway!"
After a while, I actually told him he was a terrible buyer since he was taking everything I was saying and continually talking about how much he wanted it. He had already told me on the phone he would pay asking price.
Honestly he may have just been flaunting his money. Who knows.
Yes I've lost money before. Yes, I could make more money when I sell cars. No, it's not worth being dishonest.
He locked his keys for his car and the e30 in his car after we signed the paperwork and I offered to drive him an hour round trip to get his spare.
