Approaching owner

[MikeA]

I located an original owner Deuce in Alabama through a title search and the owner became very cautious when I finally called him. He could not figure out how I got his name and telephone number. I was not ready for the question “how did you find me?” My reply to that question was “the internet”, bad answer. I don’t think the guy ever trusted me and I think that was the reason he backed out of the deal at the last minute.

I would have a good response to the question “how did you find me?” and go after the car.
