New Strad details, photos

On the suggestion of a respected board member and friend on this and other boards, I contacted Marc Yahr about his silver/stripe car owned recently by another board member. Seemed odd he was selling so soon after getting the car in Dec but hey, I have been looking for just such a car. This was on the 28th of Feb.
We struck a deal, agreed upon a price. He sent me 11,000kb worth of pictures. He sent me his bank account number, wiring etc and the name and contact of his attorney so we could establish an escrow account. The only piece I was waiting on before wiring the money was the diagnostic readouts on clutch wear and rotor and pad wear.
Yesterday, after all this he calls me up and says, " I have good news and bad news. The good news is everything checked out great. (this is the best part) and they said it was the finest cs they have seen!!"

Of course, I am totally excited by this news and the prospect of scoring the cs I wanted most. Then he says, "The bad news is, I ran into a friend and he offered me $8k less than you did for the car."
Whew, thats not too bad, I thought it was going to be really bad like a blown head gasket or something.
Then he says, " And I sold it to him"
Like a dj, sliding a needle across a record, my mind comes to a screeching halt. Did i hear him correctly? "I had to, he is a buddy and I store my cars at his building", he added.
All I could say is, "You're kidding me aren't you, we had a deal"
I could no longer listen as he, can you believe this, went back to talking about what a great report the dealer gave him.

So for all you guys who don't read text and are skimming down here for the juicy new pics of my silver striped strad with black wheels and interior,
here is the pic..........













Nice isn't it.
Oh, you can't see it. Well shizzle bro, neither can I.


Maybe if I clean the sleaze off my camera lense it will come into focus better.

 

Hi Bill, thanks, since I sold my titanium car last summer, this color combo has been my first choice,
so I have looked at a lot of cars. Its just a car and I am philisophical about it and keep perspective but hate being yanked around by careless and inconsiderate people like Marc. What a waste of time and energy.

 

Fred, maybe he will. Part of my "cautious" attitude was relative to my really wanting the silver/stripe car the most. And in this case, we were way beyond cautious attitude. As I said, I had spoken with his attorneys office, have his bank account number etc. You don't give you bank account number to someone who you are unsure about.
Either way, its done, I have vented and its time to move on.

 

Yes, thats what he told me. Hilarious. It will be interesting to see where the car turns up!

Carbon, thanks for the kind words and encouragement.

Marc has threatened me with legal action if I do not remove his last name. I have no idea how to edit a post made several hours ago, so if someone knows how to do this, pls remove Marcs last name. You are a class act Marc, no last name needed.

 

Unbelievable, he was double dealing us!! What was the damage? Wow, this gets better all the time.

 

I love the colorful words that somehow did not make it across the pond. What is a reknaw?

 

good thing you spelled it backward or marc ......'s lawyer would be calling!

btw marc, so you would not sue me for telling the truth, I contacted some computer wiz kids over at the Univ. They wanted some collateral for their charges to come remove your last name and I did not have my cc with me so I gave them your bank account #, hope thats okiedokie with you ;o)
