Next stablemate for the Pista

This, do the deal directly with the lien holder (bank). Will probably work out they way you are doing it (assuming the seller is honest) but to protect your self working with the bank directly is best.

 

Okay, enough already....what car is it!?

 

Dating myself here, but I went with Dad to the local Ford dealer to pick up our ‘66 white on red coupe with a cool red pinstripe. Years later, I took it to college and my roommate borrowed it for an afternoon. Was in an accident and totaled it. Ranks up there as worst phone call to Dad ever......

Make sure not a salvage title.

 

I've been there. Deals falling through sucks.

 

I hope you get it. As an owner of an ‘18 991.2 GT3-wing with manual I can affirm that these cars are truly amazing fun to drive!

 

What do I win for guessing correctly?

 

If you ask nicely I will reveal Friday's winning lottery number.

 

Dealers have s different process, loans for their inventory go on what is called a floor plan, it is different than a bank attaching themselves as lienholders.

For a private party, never just write the guy a check for the balance of the loan and expect him to pay it off, this opens you up to liability, you could give him a check made out to the lienholder tho, if he tries to cash it then it's fraud for him trying to cash someone else check.

I have always arranged a meeting with the lienholders bank where all parties will be there, write the bank a check for the full price of the car and let them take their amount out then cut the seller the check for the difference, (or you could write 2 separate checks, one the bank and one to the seller) at least this is how it's done in most states and how I have handled it a lot in the past. Then the bank will transfer title to you.

It's not very complicated but can be made over-complicated.

 

Sorry to hear that, but when it comes to cars we often have to be pragmatic.

As you said, onwards, what will be will be!

 

You could rent a garage to park your cars.

 

Wow.... seems like we went through the same thought process. I too had an amazing GT3 touring and passed after I decided that I was always going to want the newer one so I went with the GT4 to tie me over.

Such a fun car! I made this short video on the weekend.




May the Horse be with you

 

Similar to what I said...

 

When you no to the TDF. That it was a lot more tame, I immediately thought about the GT3 I remembered how you regretted getting rid of yours. I just knew it would be. I am sorry to hear deal may not happen.

 

LOL. If I only knew... I would have said it first and I would have won the burrito!

 

This is not a good time for your video release. I am strapped down this weekend and you have just tempted the devil!
