Am I Being Unreasonable? Original Owner Wants Car Back
Tell him politely, “You can purchase the car back when I’m done with it and not until then.” Then nicely state, “If you please, don’t bother or harass me on this issue or the price of the car in the future goes up - a lot!” If you so wish, I’ve done and said this, “When I’m ready to sell it, I’ll approach you and only you first with an honest and reasonable price that I find acceptable with deviates to you and why you want it.”
Now this part may sound funny but it is 100% true. I’ve had a couple of people want a certain car I have had so bad they just don’t listen to what I’m saying or just simply ignore what I said and figure that, IF they just badger the hell out of me, I’ll cave in and just sell it to get rid of them.
This is when I dig in and take great joy in not only sticking to my gums but start to raise the price of the car right there and then. One fella insisted I sell my ‘73 Cuda to him after I was pretty stern about not selling. He got a bit upset that I was turning down his reasonable offer. So I told him, if you keep insisting and raising your voice over the matter, the price will go up and go up fast.
He was surprised and shocked and started to curse. I smiled and said, “Cursing?!?! That’s an extra $1,000.” He started to curse some more and insult. I smiled and said, “OK fine, I’ll sell but the new price is an extra 3K for the 3 curses and the insult is an extra $1500. So he flipped out and I just kept adding up the cost as the final price.
He was absolutely looooosssssing his ****.
And I’m LMAO with glee to the point of I can’t hide it a bit.
Now he is seriously flipping out jumping up and down. I smiled and asked if we had a deal for him to purchase the car, he paused, said OK, deal. I said fine! You go get the cash and I’ll get the title and write up a bill of sale for the Cuda.
He was delighted and said, “Great! 4K then!”
I laughed and said, “**** no! You cursed and Insulted me and the car as a POS to the tune of the 45K I last rattled off and if you don’t like it, spend the money else where!”
He exploded! I thought he was going to go nuclear!
He hoped in his car and started to rant where I just started to laugh and follow him in his car down the road screaming higher and higher prices until he hit the hammer laying rubber to get away.
Not my problem! But below is the car he could have had for his price IF he just waited, STFU, and had cash.
