Cars are dumb
On my birthday, Aaron and I went to look at a car. He pronounced it in good condition, and well worth the 1k he was asking. I told him I would take it. Got the VIN. Shook on it. Went home. He had said he needed to line up a truck. So, after he got his vehicle, I'd hand over the money for the car.
I sent him an email yesterday asking about the truck. He got back to me. Told me that someone else offered 1250 without looking at the vehicle. Wanted me to pay 1300. I talked to Aaron, he said it wasn't worth that much. I told the dude that he sucks.
Moral of the story:
When dealing with individuals, get stuff in writing.
I feel like a bloody idiot for getting excited that I was finally going to have a car again.
What a douche.
