Default Re: Strategy for buying car back from current owne

Bill;

Don't feel lonesome, I just went through the same thing late last year after locating my 1st `67 Chevelle SS. The current owner had a severe case of "eBay-itis" regarding the car and had essentially over-estimated what the car was worth by 2X considering some of the scabbed repairs (which he oddly enough admitted to me during our phone conversation regarding the car ) and it's non-numbers status.

Kinda like running into your first love, only to find since you broke things off with her she's been married 5 times, has 10 kids (all by different fathers), a bad b**b job, and has been on Jerry Springer.

Twice.

In one season.

Just remember the good times.

Eric
