Ferrari Mailing List: NFC: Camaro SS post mortem

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Well, heh, the Camaro didn't work out, coolant leak, could have been intake 
manifold or bad head gasket, which would have been around $1800.  Didn't want 
to take the chance, especially since the car lot droids never once agreed on a 
price, and after all the bitching, finally came down to what I'd originally 
offered, but by then too many red flags had been raised.  The guy, when placing 
the ad, told me "around $10K" but when I went to test drive it on Saturday, the 
other guy said $12,995.  ???  So, I drive it, then Monday talk to the guy who 
placed the ad, he said that he'd had it listed at $11,800 (??) and dropped it 
to $10,900 (??? again) and would have to get with his partner (two head 
honchos).  So, he did, and he got back to me and, without giving me a price, 
said "We're not too far apart, only a few hundred dollars..."
So after all that crap, I really wasn't in a mood to alter my decision and when 
they met the price, I told him that I changed my mind, didn't feel right, and 
wasn't going to pursue the deal.  Geez...

shifter...
