Jeff....You would still sell him the car for 25K even though he knows it is worth 50K ? If it were me I think I would have called the guy back and said sorry but I apparently made a big mistake when I assigned a price to the car. Even at 50K for this Nova it is going for half price if it is as described. If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Charley, I can't really answer that question since I don't think I would find myself in that situation. I also think this BM car sounds too good to be true. If a seller knows enough to advertise the car as a real BM Nova and has docs to back it up, he should have a better idea of the value of the car. Hopefully somebody will update us on whether this is a real deal or not.

This thing reminds me of the fiasco that occured when MrYenko asked about a '69 racecar (unknown Yenko Camaro) on here while it was still on Ebay. A couple of sYc members got hosed on that deal, and guess where the guy who caused all the problems was from?

Sounds like a good tail chaser......

In fact I'm sure there are people already trying to cut Enochs nuts off in whatever way they can dream up right now...
Just follow the trail of nuts to this guys front door....

[KNAPPY]

I don't believe any of this

I believe all of it. We've all contributed to bringing what was once a simple formula of owning a car and having fun to this point!

Your right it would be hard to say no to a higher price, but if you have someone you told you would take his deposit esp after either driving a few hundred miles or flying in and then the guy gets there and hes told the car just left, thats just not right.

Oh well if Enoch doesnt end up with it I would be its a fast resto job and then sold within the year

I think everyone is assuming way too much. The initial contact with this guy yielded the "higher than asking" offer which was accepted. The way I understand it is that everything else happened after that. Not sure why the guy agreed to have someone else come by or whatever, but the first contact at 6am closed the deal. Maybe he was not convinced initially that the offer was legit-- but I am positive that right now he is assured it is. Seems to me that whomever booked a flight (possibly from California?) may have been a little premature? Or....maybe it isn't over yet. As Charley said, this thing may not be over yet. I am sure we'll know more details (including authenticity) before work on Monday.

Also, Jeff, why would you assume that if someone other than the person you know is purchasing the car that it will be "flipped"? Are you saying that only people you know are honorable enough to buy a car for any reason other than to make huge profit on it? I guess I wonder what you consider to be a huge profit that is alright? Does $84,000 profit in one year constitute "flipping" to you? Because I can think of a recent instance that nothing negative was said about. Personally, I understand that things come up and things must be sold sometimes even when you don't want to. Not saying anything negative about the transaction I am alluding to, just pointing it out-- so don't get mad at me.

Look, I am not trying to start fights or stir the pot but things are getting a bit offensive in my opinion. All over a car that was completely fair game to anyone. I think it very unfair to make public assumptions on anything right now regarding the future home or fate of this car.

[Jeff H]

Phil, I never assumed or said anything about the car being bought to be flipped. All I said was that I have never flipped a car for a profit. We obviously don't know what has really transpired here so we would only be guessing.

i can tell you right now this deal was not done at 6am! my cell phone (which the owner said was the 2nd # he called this morning) says says 6:27 CST. i probally will never forget missing that call! i was up to take a whiz, heard my cell ringing and wondered "who the bleep is calling me at 6 in the morning"? my cell goes to voicemail after 2 rings. i ran downstairs to only miss the call by a split second. i called back immediatly and every half hour until 10am when he answered. i guess its double irony cause if i'm not up to take a whiz i dont hear the cell. which is kind of like rubbing salt in the wound. 2nd call back.... AHH S**T!

I am in Ca. but I'm not chasing the car in case you were thinking of me.
