I was contacted by this gentleman in regards to trading my Chevelle, we did talk and I stated I would consider a trade, however the distance between us was the issue. I in no way ever verbally comitted to follow through, merely discussed with him several options on how we may proceed should we. He did state that he was going to buy a truck, however I encouraged him not to and to consider shipping the cars due to cost. Lets face it, I didn't want to drive that distance either.

Secondly, I think everyone on here will agree, we are talking about a total transaction of over $60k here, even a person with zero common sense would not act on anything until there were some monetary transaction or contract in place to secure the deal and protect themselves.

Thirdly, I did have some family issues, it's personal and needs no further comment. I have been a member here and on e-bay selling and buying for many years. Check my status and you will see nothing but 100% So here is the deal. My car is listed for approx 35K, to show I am not a scammer and stand up guy, I will sell the car flat out to you for $22K do the math, this is one hell of a deal. I don't thnk you bought a truck, you are just pissed off! Everone here can vouch now this is a vervbal contract. If you don't want it then that's fine to, I will hold this offer for 72 hours, after that it goes back up for sale. I am truly sorry if there was any confusion, but again I never gave you my word this would happen, and wouldn't have without some kind of monetary advance payment in good faith! I harbor no hard feelings for the slam and wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors! Life is too short!
