What did you miss out on?

Well I really hate to tell this one I still have a bad taste in my mouth over it.Here a couple of months ago I answered an add to a 69 Roadrunner for sale! Finally after about 3 weeks the guy called me.Well he was in Baltimore on a new job and was relocating soon.I got the directions to go see the car and I did! Well it was a FINE FINE Example of a ROADRUNNER!One owner other than him,one repaint,383 auto,power brakes and power steering.Car looked LIKE NEW! Guy was asking $18000.00 Well I had the money and I called the seller back,while talking to him I did what most any buyer would do! I tried to get it a little cheaper.I never said anything negative just trying to save a little $$! Well I told the seller to think about it(MY OFFER OF $17500.00) and I will get back to you.Well After 2 days I thought (YOU KNOW I AM BEING STUPID! BUY THE DAMN CAR) Well I tried to contact the seller by his cell phone,no luck(I GUESS I HAD PISSED HIM OFF WITH MY OFFER).Finally I called his Wife back and she said sorry the car has been sold! I DAMN NEAR CRIED! I kick my self in the *** everytime I think of it! When I say the car was nice! Well on a scale of 1 to 10 this Roadrunner was a 8.5 to a 9 EASILY!
