Ok, get ready for this one guys... apparently verbal agreements don't mean anything anymore. He agreed to sell it to us for $4500 on Wednesday, and didn't ask for any deposit just said we could get it the next Saturday. Well today I get a text that he sold it on MONDAY for $7000!! So now I'm out a bus, a buyer paid too much for one, and my step mom doesn't even want one anymore. I guess my dad was right, he will never have another bus :2gunfire: _________________ '67 Beetle L41

This is the best education you can get, and its free - actually better than free - you saved $5000!
Patience, your Bus will find you - and come to terms with your Ass for it bears you. _________________ .ssS! |

that's why it's important to jump, and have cash ready. I have literally been on the phone with sellers as I pull into their driveway. cash is king....
an honestly in this era of flakes....the first with the $$ gets it, period. I don't take deposits from anyone. come with cash in hand or don't bother coming. keep looking.... _________________

Yeah the sucky thing is that when we looked at it she wouldn't have the cash for a few days, and he knew and agreed to hold it, but by the time we had the cash he had sold it and didn't tell us. _________________ '67 Beetle L41

keep that cash on hand....sometimes you can't pull 5-10K from the bank same day as some banks need to "order" money for big transactions _________________

This thing sounded nice, but it did need work. Tie rods, full interior fabric redo, full doglegs, etc. Maybe it was for the best. _________________ '67 Beetle L41
