Subject: [Ferrari] No Ferrari Content (NFC) Selling a Car - Inconsiderate
        People?

Gotta question/observation ya'll might be able to shed some light on for 
me -

I've been trying to sell a 89 Ford Van with a Wheelchair lift for a few 
months - it's limited market, older van but in excellent condition.  I've 
advertised in the paper, local trading post, a Handicapped Dealer Newsletter 
and Auto Trader.

Had one really good prospect -- but his wheelchair wouldn't work with my 
lift - and the others were mostly people who called to get details and 
before they even look at it they want to know if I'll lower the price. 
Seems a little forward to me.  I don't mind talking price but these people 
never even looked at it to know how reasonable the price was already.

The worst part was after talking for 1/2 hour I never hear from them again. 
Are there that many lonely people out there?

Brian B - does this happen to you a lot?  Must get frustratiing -
