Cars for sale that dont live up to expectations

I hear ya, I drove 330km round trip to look at a 69 Swinger priced at $15,900.... has some small rust issues, I offered $15,000 cash and was turned down...he wants $15,600. I fickin drive that far to be turned away with $15,000 in cash...who only drops 300 bucks..I had a guy with a 74 340 Challenger drop from $25,000 to $17,000 over the phone....what has this world turned into ROTF
