Aaron's Forsa Build Thread

[Aaronbrook37]

That sucks the big one.

Thanks, Scott. Yep... but you know what? It's okay because I actually found something different and significantly better needing less work for half the cash. Picking it up today! Stay tuned for the build thread on this bad boy.

Guy did that to me once before a 6 hour drive to go get the car. Me and my buddy were pulling out of the gas station to leave and something told me to ask to use his phone and check my email.

"Car sold." was all he wrote.

I hope you too got out of it before you made a trip. Still sucks, though.

Some people I tell you. I did get out of it pre-trip fortunately and I learned my lesson for sure.

That's happened twice to me. First time was about 20 years ago, I made the deal one evening about 9:00 pm. I took half day vacation from work the next day to go by the bank and pick it up. The next thing I know is "sorry, some guy came by with cash." Last summer I made a deal to pay full price for the car, the woman told me to pay her when I picked it up on Monday and that she would consider it sold to me. She called me Monday morning with "sorry, I sold it to someone else for less." Go figure!

If it happens again to me today on another car, I'd be absolutely speechless.

Man that does suck. Shows how much cash-in-hand talks (compared to giving your word) for some people. On the flip side, she doesn't know you and if you will keep your word. What would be inexcusable would be for the seller to not inform you it is sold, knowing you have a long drive to get there, if he/she knew your number. So it's best to call them, for sure.

Are you just gonna keep all the parts that you ordered for this car in hopes of scoring another one?

Thanks much, Tom. For now, I am going to hang onto them... but they are definitely for sale. The majority of the cash I invested in preparation is universal (fluids, tools, etc), so I'll just use it on whatever car I end up getting next.
