[QUOTE="Screamin_Heaton, post: 7870550, member: 78586"] Selling the car to this guy has been a complete nightmare. Plus the fact that the internet makes it a big pissing match based on the he said this, but I said that. Numerous emails were exchanged about the condition of the car. The car was 100% normally operating when he picked it up. The door handle and the AC were the only two things I forgot to mention to him, which he noticed before he gave me any money for the car. Car was not test driven before he paid me cash for it. Car was started up and run for several minutes, but not driven down the road. HIS choice to not drive it. That being said, I do feel bad that he ran into problems. He even called me and told me of these, I then told him to bring the car back. He could have kept the car there and fixed the $30 pump, or reworked a deal with me if it was that big of an issue or anything else. He then proceeded to tell me he was on the way and then go in the opposite direction back to his residence. I was more than willing to renegociate something or help him out in a reasonable way so he could go about this way. He chose not to and risk driving it back so he could then get back on the internet and complain. If anything was not as described to him, it was made clear to him before he purchased the car from me. I told him it was drivable and was dependable to the extent of my knowledge, I never experienced the problems he stated. I mean if I was to drive the car for a few miles every day before he picks it up, and not see, feel, hear, or know of anything wrong with the car, and he picks it up and drives 20 miles away (not sure of how he drove the car once it's gone) and a rod flies through the side of the block, I mean who is the bad person there? 1) I described the car the best of my knowledge 2) Car was in perfect operating shape the last time I drove it (a few hours before he got there) - the included issues I clearly stated to him in email 3) Car was bought without even giving it a test drive 4) Made effort to help in the situation after the car was driven down the road by him, in which he waived my option by not contacting me further 5) Car was sold as is, with no warranty, signed, dated, and timed. 6) Finally it's basically a game of trying to trust someone's word on what really happened, when they proceed to ride down with a group of friends to pick up the car, arrive close to 8pm in total darkness, then additional problems are pointed out, proceeds to pay in cash, sign bill of sale and title over without test driving the car, then proceeds to put non-legal tags on it to drive out to the beach, then a few days later back to his residence 300 or so miles away. 7) Had ample time to test drive or to come another day and look at the car. I was not pressed for time or did not pressure him into any deal. He was more than willing to walk around the car, inspect the inside, start it up, and just hand me cash. If an issue came up during a test drive and you happen to not want the car, then no big deal, walk away I have had to go through several emails of him acting like a child about this situation.

I try and a try to be civil and listen to him and make an effort to try to resolve some issues but nothing seems to get across. What more can I do? It's seriously hard to deal with immaturity in a business deal. It's pretty easy to go on the internet, to a forum, and try to flame someone with a one sided story isn't it? [/QUOTE]
