Got a good deal on a pair of cars. Plans were to sell one and keep the other. the Charger came home for a clean up and pictures and the roadrunner went to a storage yard. Had a buddy of mine pass my number out to anyone who would take it, and within an hour, I had one guy calling me every 30 minutes begging for the car. Was not asking much on the car, I got a good deal, and figured I'd pass it along. It's a 70 purple charger 500 buddy seat column shift automatic car with a factory sunroof. After finally agreeing to hold the car for the guy, he said he'd need a week to come up with the cash. We hung up and 5 minutes later he called back and asked if we had a deal and wanted to make sure I would not sell it to anyone else. I said yes. Guy I got the pair from held them for me for a day (told him I'd be there the next day with every little bit of what he was asking, and was), and I wanted to be decent and pass that offer to the next guy as well.
It's one day short of a week now and it's not looking like he will have the cash. He called me yesterday and asked how much it would be to ship it to California.
Would not do much mind him needing a little longer, but the RM27 70 roadrunner is sitting in the midddle of a storage yard, and I'm very worried it will be stolen or parts will be taken.
Is it time to cut ties with this buyer (tomorrow of course, the 7 days he told me he needed) and move it along to Craigslist to get it gone? Or would I be acting unfairly?
As a side note, if I've been fair with him and it's time to move along, if anyone here wants to buy the car, Id take 2000 for it. On Craigslist, it'll be a little higher than that. It Needs metal, was from Wisconsin. Needs a majority of the frame rails, lower quarters, rocker undersides, trunk, tail panel, floors (though they aren't terrible) fenders are decent, doors are decent, and hood is decent. A and B pillars are good, was a vinyl top car, no holes in the roof, though there are some holes where the passenger side Sail panel meets the rear of the quarter. Not much on it as far as parts go, sunroof is there, but it's got some holes in the top metal, nothing structural though and definitely fixable. controls for the sunroof are missing. No fender tag on the car, but has a vin and the numbers from the core support and trunk gutter match. No drive train. Rallye dash frame is there and without rust. All glass is there and good.
