I hate people

[krisomniac]

So this is the email I just got from the guy who wants to buy my car:

----

Dear Kris,

I have paid half price for the mechanics, and he gave the
evaluation of the price except the transmission filter. I think it is
cheaper. Please gave him a call before you go to pick the car.
I would like to take the car, and I hope you decrease the
price, since that is the price for last summer. I hope you can get the
transmission filter and rear light changed, and I can deal with the
rest of the repair. Let me know what do you think.

-----

What I think? WHAT I THINK? I think he has a poor grasp of the English language. I think he doesn't have his facts straight. I think he can go fuck himself is what I think. I've already priced the car (LAST NOVEMBER NOT SUMMER) at less than half its current Kelley Blue Book value -- such that even with the buyer making EVERY REPAIR UNDER THE SUN, he still gets a bargain.

WHAT THE FUCK?

It's not like the car won't sell. I only advertised it one time on one small university list-serv about two months ago. He's already proven himself a prick by making ME pay half of the estimates he wanted (even though I already have two of my own). If I don't get a copy of that report, Deal. Is. OFF. If he thinks I'm this much of a pushover, he can kiss my lily white ass:

I'm also adding the price of the new repairs (close to $300) to the old (somewhat negotiable) asking price, then we can talk.

Haaaaate.

Ugh. Sorry you have to deal with this, hon. What a pain in the (lily white) ass.

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

heh. Tell me about it. I just want it over and done with so bad, i'm almost willing to meet this asshole halfway.

[mumbles11.livejournal.com]

Then the answer in this scenario should be for him to go fuck himself.

Seriously. If you know the car will sell, advertise in a bigger place, like craigslist?

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It should be. I haven't advertised it because, honestly, I really don't have time to deal with it. I dunno. Part of me just wants it done despite the offending offer.

(love your icon btw)

UGG. Oh, Dude, I am so pissed on your behalf.

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

Aww. Thank you!

[dolorous-ett.livejournal.com]

Not on. Kick the bastard into touch.

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to negotiate on price, but I will look intot eh repairs... I just want this *over*

[scowling-hermit.livejournal.com]

Oi! I'd be highly tempted to tell him the deal is off.

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna make one counter offer, I think, that he can take or leave. Guh, I am so not cut out for sales or negotiations.

[girlmostlikely.livejournal.com]

KRIS! You shouldn't have agreed to pay half the inspection cost in the first place. *hugs you*

Tell him to get stuffed.

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

I know... I don't *mean* to be a pushover. I think I'm being nice, and realize in retrospect...

Hi, XXX,

I'm sorry but I don't think this is going to work out. The price for the car is $XXXX, and I will not settle for less.

Sincerely,
One Pissed OffKris

What an ass. *rolls eyes* Like you need that crap.

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

Heh. I think that's what I am going to do (although I'll look into the repairs as well. Just want this to be OVER)

[stillane.livejournal.com]

Like I said earlier, pretty sure he officially falls in the asshole column. Given how you set up the sale in the first place, with all cards on the table and a huge price knockoff, you shouldn't have been expected to pay anything. Grr.

*kicks jerk for you*

[krisomniac.livejournal.com]

definitely an assmunch. I do want the car gone, though, might give a little (but not on ultimate price)

*sigh*

[inksheddings.livejournal.com]

Oh yikes, I hope it all works out. I would suck at negotiating.
