I was first just looking because I had $1500 in cash. I also had a small loan from when I bought an '89 Mirage hatch last year. That car is long gone, by way of trade. I then traded again, and then sold the Talon I recently had. These are all project cars for me, not dailys. Anywho, I knew I didn't have much left to pay on the loan, but wanted to see if I could find anything for the $1500 first. When I found this car, I decided to just take the $1500, pay off the loan, and get a new loan for the $2500 to buy this one. I found out yesterday I was about $150 short of paying off the loan. Since I get an "allowance" from my check to spend on my car hobby, I need another couple weeks to pay off the $150 or so. Once that is done, I will walk into a bank, get an unsecured loan for $2500, then buy this car. I didn't really want to get a loan for a random car, then look for one. I wanted to get the car all lined up first, then get the money.
So, yes, I don't have the money sitting around, but can get it within the next few weeks.
Anyway, I told him he didn't have to hold it for me. If I contact him and it's sold, I'll take my money and get something else. I'd completely understand. I've been through so many "deals" where the buyer said they would have money for a car I was selling, then didn't. I'd understand if he took up another deal of someone with cash in hand.
Just re-read that. Not trying to come off like an a$$, just explaining my "situation". /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/cool.gif
