If You Are This Angry About Selling Your Car Maybe You Should Just Keep It
If You Are This Angry About Selling Your Car Maybe You Should Just Keep It-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:53

Selling a car privately can be a royal pain. With all of the dumb questions and low ballers it’s no wonder so many people just trade their old ride to the dealership. But if you have resorted to essentially yelling at your potential buyers, maybe private sales is not for you.

One of our readers sent in this that he says has appeared over and over again for several months. Each iteration has just added more capital letters.

Clearly, the stipulations and the implied aggressiveness are likely the result of dealing with potential buyers who either weren’t serious or possibly scammers looking for a quick buck. I can sympathize with this owner, I tried and failed to sell a car on Craigslist, but I recognize that most people can manage these transactions successfully.

However, it is entirely possible that a serious buyer with cash in hand would be willing to purchase this , but they may not be able to adhere to these stipulations like “not asking questions” and “showing up the same day.”

Welcome to Future Classics, a new, semi-regular feature where we identify amazing and unappreciated

It’s a good position to be in when you don’t have to sell your car, but it’s okay to admit that you don’t really want to sell it either.

This Dealer's Retro 1970s Ford F-150 Package Brings Back The Beautiful Trucks We've Lost
This Dealer's Retro 1970s Ford F-150 Package Brings Back The Beautiful Trucks We've Lost
The past is back in a big way, folks. Don’t worry, disco is still very much dead and high crime rates don’t seem to be making a comeback, but two-tone F-150s with chrome racks and HiLites are, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it. This retro package, called...

At $1,500, Could This Manual-Equipped 1998 Volvo V70 Mean it’s Time to Get Busy?
At $1,500, Could This Manual-Equipped 1998 Volvo V70 Mean it’s Time to Get Busy?

At $7,900, Would You Give This 2013 Fiat 500 an E for Effort?
Today’s Fiat 500e has the dubious distinction of representing a model with the highest depreciation of any electric car sold in the U.S.. Let’s see if that bad rap can be parlayed into what could be considered a shockingly good deal. When applied to strangers on a train, women...
