Arrow Going for a test drive!

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/835783258.html

Im going to test drive this on friday, what do you guys think?

He's saying his leaving in middle of October but when I talked to him on the phone he didn't seem motivated at all to sell the car b/c he wouldn't even give a straight up answer about the asking price, he said "his been recieving offers between 9-10k BUT all i can do is 8500ISH and when i told him he didn't really say anything like that out of range or turned me away so i dont know what to think.......He also said his had like 400 people call and email him about the car but still hasn't sold it yet? you be the judge

HOPE TO GOD everything will work out and i'll have a new 410HP car

It originaly was 9/15 but he extended it for w/e the reason idk

But the turn off about this guy is that his being kind of frustrating b/c his making poeple wait around until he's got the highest bitter? All I know is that HE BETTER GIVE ME A STRAIGHT UP ANSWER ON FRIDAY! I hate people that dont give yes or no answers it pisses me off! My life doesn't wait around for you homy!

Craigslist is notorious for scams, as long as you're going to see it you should be good, and call the tag agency with the title number and make sure there is no lien.

he's probably had a few offers, 400 is a lie. he clearly wants cash, wave 8500 at him and he'll more than likely give you a straight answer. Some people ask a couple of their friends to contact the person with a lowball offer, then when you present a reasonable one, it seems more enticing. just a thought...

yeah 7000 is some serious labor charges, more like 3000 in upgrades depending how much he did himself. In this market I wouldn't go over 9 have fun man.

Oh get this, i actually did that, i had my brother call, he(my brother) lives literally a block away from the seller and he was wanting to set up a time so he could go see the car. He give him a call on monday and wants to set up a time for friday(the day im going to drive it) but the seller says he cant see him till early next week. LAME! oh and my brother said the exact same thing as i did, he doesn't sound very motivated to sell the car, how are you not gonna give a guy that lives 1 block away from your house a chance to see the car asap? the guy sounds really ummmm fishy
