E63 wagon on eBay
Hi all. Just wanted to give a heads up. I had a deal on this wagon with rsf motors since last Friday for 36k. I even gave him my cc info to charge a grand and hold the car while we schedule a PPI.
Then when I spoke to him on Sunday and Monday to schedule the inspection all of a sudden he started to put pressure on me to inspect the car at one of the shops on his block which of course I didn't feel comfortable doing. Now bear in mind that I'm in NYC and he is a car dealer in California so I went to Benzshops.com and gave him a few reputable and experienced shops within 15-20 minutes of him and still he declined because he "doesn't trust them". But he expects me as the buyer to trust his neighbor to inspect my car and "not to worry".
Long story short I told him that was a deal breaker. He responded that he would pass and he had other interested parties anyway.
My point here is that although there may be nothing more here than trying to make a few extra bucks by selling to someone else, I feel it's my responsibility to let anyone looking at this vehicle know to make sure it's inspected well.
Good luck all.
