Little problem with selling a car...

[sirkus]

kind of a dirtbag thing to do if you ask me....call the 1st person and let them know youve had a better offer and the guys coming earlier than them and just let him know its a first come first serve thing now

imo you should stick to the first agreement and let the 2nd person know they were a minute too late and you will let them know if the original deal goes south, but thats just me

I'm gonna call the 2nd guy and tell him to wait until wednesday.

First person to bring me money takes it home.

I would NOT call the 2nd person and cancel just because there are a lot of flakey buyers out there. You'll end up shooting yourself in the foot. If a person is serious about buying, they will send you a deposit or at the very least make it up there before the other person.

Worst case scenario for you: 1st person comes to look at it and says he'll think about it and the 2nd person finds another car. This is why I always say, "First come, first served." I won't turn anyone away if they're ready and willing to buy.

I've got something to sell and whoever's got cash and ready to buy is first priority.

Yeah, that's a damn good point. But then again.. I'd be really pissed if I drove 3 hours for nothing.
