Nice find BUT I have a small problem with how you handled the deal. You stated that you would have gladly paid what he asked for the car yet you still low balled him. Sounds like you took advantage of someone that didn't know any better. I remember reading a post from a couple years ago about a guy that bought a car (I think it was an early 442) from an old lady for a samll % of what it was worth. He was immediately slammed for taking advantage of the situation.

are you serious?? the guy told me what he would like to get for the car and said make me an offer. I never thought he would take my first offer. I think I may have offered too much. You mean to tell me you would have paid all the money he wanted?? I guess you are a better man than me.
I cant imagine that if you find a real bargain on a product that seems to inexpensive, that you offer to pay more just to be fair?

"never pay anyone what they are asking". homes, boats, cars,(new or used) Thats what I was told over 30 years ago. I thought it still held true.
(that dosent mean you rob old ladies!)

I am very serious. I wouldn't have a problem if he were asking too much for the car but you said "he finally told me what he wanted which I would have gladly paid for the car". Then you offered half of what he wanted. That is where I have a problem. I may be wrong in my thinking here but that's how I feel about it.

I've heard this argument on this website before, And personally I buy cars for as cheap as someone will sell them to me. I can't afford to pay extra myself. I'm a pretty honest guy, but I've never lost any sleep over getting too good of a deal.

i sold a 72 U code(455)cutlass ragtop 5 years ago

i told the buyer to make me an offer,and he offerred me $1500 more than what i wanted for it.

it goes both ways.

So what if he STOLE the car..... now he has more money to put into the restoration. If i could get a COPO camaro off an old lady for $500 i will.
