What is the name of your state? Missouri
Hope someone can help. I posted a vehicle online and had quite a few responses. The one person I would let buy the vehicle sent me $500 via Paypal, he asked if I would hold the vehicle until he was able to pick it up two weeks later. He stated he would fly into my city on a specific date. He did not show up, nor did he call or email. I contacted him by email the next day and received a response from him telling me he would send another $500 to show he was serious and that he would let me know when he would be in town. Well, he never sent the additional funds. I got a call from him on a Thursday letting me know his flight would be in on a specific date (which was a week later).
I picked him up from the airport and brought him to the vehicle. We took it for a test drive and he loved the car (who wouldn't?). We got back to the garage and he began to look around the vehicle. That is when he nitpicked the vehicle. He asked why I didn't tell him that there was 1 door ding on the passenger side, I reminded him that there was 1 door ding on the drivers side and 2 on the passenger side. He looked again and counted the two dings. He hemmed and hawed about the mileage and thought it was not actual and that I had turned it back. I told him to look at the receipts again to show where every oil change and repair was documented. Mileage and records are impecccable and accurate.
OK, I was getting PO'd. (better than POn). He kept on with how disappointed he was and that I should have described the vehicle better. There are 9 pictures of the vehicle on-line. There were 16 additional pictures I sent him. There was the 1 1/2 hour phone conversation.
I finally told him to get in the car I was driving him back to the airport. If he did not want to buy the car then off we go. So I dropped him off and left him in a cloud of rubber burn.
I just received an email from him stating he wants his $500 deposit returned to him. Do I have to give it back? The money is still sitting in Paypal waiting for an opinion. Thanx - sorry for being long winded about this. But I don't know how else to put it in perspective for the reader.
