So after it has been sitting on his lot for a month or so....go offer him what you where willing to pay for it. But do it on the last day of the month.

But make sure you negotiate a good warranty too

The exact same thing happened to us with a house. On a Sunday we told our neighbors that we were going to buy it, the went to the realtor's at 7:50 AM and pounded on the door and bought the house. We get there about 8:15 and the Realtor told us "It was just sold"

PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE

Take the hit for the assault charges.....it's worth it

No dude, wow, that friggen blows!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd be pissed. But a lot of SVXes do come up that are really nice, I'm sure you'll find the one that's meant to be. Kinda like that saturn commercial, "it's almost like the car finds you."

That's just WRONG! PERIOD!

We should just have a meet in FL and show up at his lot with 50+ svxes and yell at him.

I'd be pissed too. But it's a good life lesson.

Good for him!

This will probably upset some people, but good for the salesman. He saw an opportunity to make some money and moved on it. It's called capitalism.

It sounds like you weren't ready to buy it anyway, why get upset with him?

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Yeah, look for the silver lining. The car will sit there and sit there and sit there. (especialy if you harass potetial buyers) Then you just stroll up and offer him $6,000 for it and tell him you want a warrenty. (that you wouldn't get from a privite sale) That way if anything is wrong with it you can get it fixed for free.
