1972 Monte Carlo

Well, we will see what happens... the buyer contacted me today. He has been in the hospital most of the week. His bank told him that the money was sent on the 12th. We are both in agreement that it should have hit my account by now. He is back home and doing better, and plans to go to his bank again this Monday. I asked him to email me some additional information about the transaction to take to my bank. Hoping this can be resolved this coming week.

Talk about a goat rodeo... I feel bad for this guy if he is out the money, no car, and sick to boot!

Haven't heard from the "buyer" since I last posted. I have tried to contact him a few times since with no reply. To make matters worse, eBay still wants their money even though I have taken the steps to cover myself. They are threatening to suspend my account. I emailed them back and replied, "Please do, you will not get a dime out of me."

That said, I am done with them. So much for protecting their users.

That sucks! I will purchase from eBay occasionally but I will never sell with them any more. I think I would probably throw something in the trash before going through eBay at this point.

Good luck on the car!!

Decided to have Ken @ Everyday Performance go through the carburetor again. It ran decent, but was hard starting if I let it sit for a few weeks. And had a slight off idle stumble. I figure I might as well go the extra mile since I'll be driving it for who knows how long. Should have the carburetor back by the end of next week. I expect it to run even stronger than before. Ken is doing a full restoration and recalibration for the cam and exhaust upgrades.

The mail was a little slow, Ken didn't get the carburetor for almost a full week. He emailed me today, it is done and on its way back to me.

I'll be driving it again soon.

The weather was agreeable this evening, so took some "fresh pictures of the car.

[flash]

Wow ,that is a beauty ,cant believe it didnt sell . That is my very favorite Monty and we never even see one around here anymore.

Yeah, it escapes me too. If someone drives it, they'll realize what a great car it is. Half the battle seems to be getting people to actually look at the car. Far too many people seem to want to play games through email and text trying to beat you down on price before they actually see and drive the car. Maybe I'm not asking enough for it? I just stuck it back on C-list with an asking price of $10,500. ::shrug::

I swear, 98% of the population must be on drugs...

I specifically stated, "no trades" - yet I am getting some silly offers. Three, count them three smog-year Corvettes in the past few weeks. (75'-79') Each person thought it would be an even trade, sorry... but I wouldn't pay more than $4K-$5K for one of those underpowered slugs. Tonight takes the cake, an IROC with lambo doors, the A/C removed, etc. ::facepalm::

Maybe I need to revise my ad, and state that the price reflects cash. And trade value is $14,500. Maybe that will scare off some of these people.

Did I mention that I hate dealing with people?

[flash]

I had that same thing when I was selling my 55 Bel Air ,I had all kinds of trade offers and my add said cash only no trades .
