Ok I’ve got a 2000 ford mustang gt for sale for $9,500 with 63k miles. I thought this was a very reasonable
price for my mustang, but I’m getting eight emails a day and I have my car featured in the local classifieds in my hometown and getting twenty phone calls a week with people asking me if I’m willing to TAKE PAYMENTS!!!! WTF… I’m not a car dealer and don’t own a repossession towing business if they decide not to pay for it or wreck it or mainly my car just disappears after one crappy payment. I had to finance my car at a bank just like everyone else and I understand these people have no credit but I’m not a bank.. haha………..
Who the Hell personally finances there car with the private owner. Obviously somebody sells there cars this way because people have weird notions that this is a acceptable way to buy a car!!!!!
Just wondering what everyone else thinks about this topic
You know that saying "It never hurts to ask" well they are using it.
I sold a jeep to a friend and financed it, I also held INS on it as he was pulling his trailer and screwed up some guys car with the trailer.......My INS paid for it after he wrote the guy a rubber check. He then was sued by my INS company, and I repoed the jeep back.

its just starting to really annoy me now.....i'm getting crazy amounts of phone calls with these people and there payment crap......Even if they gave me a $1,000 dollars a month it would take them nine months for them payoff my car and no way in hell would my car leave its garage until its paid in full.....
whats INS???? I can understand selling to a friend, but it's also a good way to screw up a good friendship.
Yeah, every single person who looked at mine when it was for sale wanted me to take payments... needless to say I still have the car... one person did show up with cash, but that was one day after some jackhole backed into my car.

Yes, UhmHmm, let the dealer tell you the car you have is worth 1/2 what you paid for it last year...
Solution, never sell. Looked at what old Stangs are going for lately?
I solve this by not trading them a car that is worth twice what they are willing to give me for it. Instead, I don't trade cars very frequently and generally drive a car until I have to make some kind of temporary repair just to get it to limp onto a lot so I can trade it in, so whatever the dealer is willing to give me is usually more than fair. Trust me, you don't want one of my used cars.
The exception was the Ranger I traded for the (lemon) GTi that I traded after one month for my GT. I also plan to keep the GT for a long time, so I hope to avoid wearing it out. I want to be one of those old guys driving around in his (by that time classic) nice '02 GT and making all the young guys jealous.
WTF: Is it with people wanting to buy mustangs
