I sense a mid-level manager in the making... (him, not you)

I'm starting to think either OP isn't serious about it, doesn't have the money, or is trying to have us talk him out of it for whatever reason.

Either way...

Cody, word of advice. Go look at the car. If you like it, give him the $1650 and be happy.

If you don't like it, leave it for someone who does.

Low balling will just make you look like a cheap *** kid who doesn't know anything about cars, especially FBs.

The owner of that white RX-7 has put a good deal of work in it and he knows what he's got.

He won't have any trouble finding a buyer.

If he hasn't already.

Damnitman -- I give-- blank stare-------- joking Cody. U own one already. Drive hell out of it get back throw him the keys and say--nahhhh. If he runs after u it must suck. If not beg for his forgiveness and pay the man what he wants. Other than that take it somewhere and check the compression ???????????????!!

It's a used car sale. There's no 'dibs.' Unless you pay the man, there is no sale, no obligation, nada.

If I saw that ad and lived in Minnesota, I'd have sniped it days ago. It looked like a fantastic deal.

Here's a tip. Next time you find a great deal on an Rx7, don't post it on an RX7 Forum until you already purchased it

Well i never knew you guys were a bunch of back stabbing dicks! I thought this forum was to help people not steal from them. Since i have been here i have been bashed for asking questions and stolen when i asked about a car not a very warm welcome.

Can't lose what you don't own. If you had put a deposit on the car it would be a different story. Cash talks. I told you in the 2nd post in this thread it was a fair price... Should've snapped it up.

Right.

Let's say I have a car on Craigslist. Guy #1 calls, says he wants to see it in 6 days. Guy #2 calls, comes to see it that day with cash in hand and is willing to pay the asking price. Unless he's put a deposit on the car, I have absolutely no obligation to Guy #1. Just don't. Not real complicated.
