Will try to keep it short. Carmine went to look at this car for me. Guy who has it is a flipper(don't care either way)and was fairly upfront about the car,for the most part. Has some cosmetic issues with the biggest being about 3" of surface rust on the bottom part of the body. As per Carmine there are no holes. He was supposed to be there when the car was inspected so Carmine could drive it and repeatedly said he would show. He did not. Talked to him the next day and made an offer contingent on Carmine road testing it. He said many times in our conversations that the car runs out fine. He did not accept my offer, which was $500 less than he was seeking. I was not budging. He winds up calling on Sunday and says he will take the offer but it has to be done by Monday and money has to be wired right away....uh no. Told him again that car needs to be road tested and had Carmine lined up to go today{Monday). Carmine texted him and no response. I wound up calling him and he was on the road back to Tennessee. Asked if anyone would be around to test drive the car and was told no. I said, ok, will let Carmine know to cancel for today and he abruptly said ok and hung up the phone.
Carmine and I discussed this and we believe he is trying to hide something that shows up when the car is driven. Don't like to accuse without proof, but just wanted to throw a warning out there to anyone who wants to read this. Feel free to pass it along.
