Default Re: Strategy to purchase a car that's "not for sale"

Don't count on the right of first refusal working, however. I'd stay in touch with him and let him know that you're still interested. Too many stories out there about folks who got screwed on their alleged right of first refusal.

........and I am one of them and we stayed in touch 2 times a month. I even offered to send him some money to hold my name on the car but was told "that was not necessary". As was said, DO NOT depend on that. When it comes to selling, the first guy standing there with the $$$ often time gets it.

[/ QUOTE ] It just happened to me, first do not tell anyone else about the car, word travels fast and if the car is highly desirable news of its whereabouts will get around and will increase the likely hood of someone else getting the car that you want. Stay in touch, be honest and hope for the best.
