Default no trust these days

okay so most of you know my obsession with corrado's. i found one i really like and talked to the guy that ownes it, he seems pretty cool and after thinking of ways to make the deal happen he reveals he wants a b5 s4. Being the resourceful person that i am i make a few phone calls and find a imola yellow s4 with 90k on it that i could trade him. and to get the s4 i have to trade a ton of goodies for it (believe me im cutting my ***** off on this deal) and some cash i got it and can trade. I can live with a loss for getting what i want but this guy is a little over cautious. Not saying thats terrible or anything, i think it is good to be like that. The problem is it get in my way of getting what i want [:'(]. I was totally honest with him about the whole deal and what im doing, the condition of the s4 and mileage etc. I am getting photos for him and everything 2morrow and i am keeping my fingers crossed that he will accept the deal couse i am maxed out on the loss i can take for this.

the deal is his corrado and 10,500 cash for a 2001 imola yellow s4 that is in flawless interior and exterior condition. the only thing this car needs is the 90k service done and tires, which i said i would give him tires if i had them, mount and balanced too for free. This is the absolute best deal i can put together for him if i had something else to give the s4 guy to make it less i would.

well im just venting cause this deal has been on my mind, thanks to listening to my insignificant problems and feel free to put in your 2 cents.

Is this car worth all this hassle? Or does he know you are desperate for the Corrado and is taking the ****.

Sounds like this guy KNOWS he's got you over a barrel. How MUCH drooling DID you do when you saw the Corrado. This betR be one SERIOUSLY CHERRY Corrado, or we're gonna give you such a talking to...[>:]

Make sure you have some money left over for fixing the C, not trying to be a dick here but it WILL need expensive repairs and since you are allready bending over backwards for this car just make sure that it won't break your back once you have it.
