2005 Echo hatch
Time to move on from the Echo.
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details...dId=1517891778 A trade would be ideal, but I'm tired of answering questions and I want it gone |

I checked out the listing. Sweet car. And, a great deal. Good luck selling it. It's rare to find one with such low kms and in such great shape. I'd likely be all over that if I lived a bit closer and hadn't just picked up another project car. Happy to help promote it on my Instagram page if you want. Let me know if you'd like me to.

I've been a car guy all my life, buying, building, selling and I've never had so many flakes as I have with this car.
It's going back to stock and I'll be selling everything separately |

Sorry, not familiar with "flakes" in this context. I'm assuming, maybe incorrectly, that you've had troubles?

People showing a great deal of interest, asking a lot of questions, working out a deal, then they either disappear or after making arrangements they don't sow up to look at the car.
One guy went on for a day with a million questions. We worked out a price, and a time to make the deal. He texted me throughout the day, then said he's leaving early from work. He texted me 'supposedly' as he was on his way, complaining about traffic. Just about the time he was supposed to get to my house - a 2hr drive, he texts me and says he got a good deal on a bike so he has to pass on the car It gets better. I get a text this morning. Is the car still for sale (I pulled the ad because of flakes)? I'm texting on behalf of my son, he's interested in the car. We had some back and forth, but I recognized the way he texted So I took something out of the deal that only that previous guy would know. He fell for it, I called him on it, and he admitted he was that guy. After what I said to him I would be surprised if he contacts me back There's always some of that but I've never seen it like I have as with this car. |

Ah. I see. I've sold many items on kijiji (Canadian version of Craigslist) and have experience my share of flakes too. I guess some people are simple minded and have a need to be paid attention to and find an avenue in classifieds. Sad. Many people think very little about wasting others' time. I get your frustration. I figured because of the type of car and the condition that you would have had a lot of interest by serious buyers.

I typically have very few problems.
Same guy just contacted me again... So where are we on price? |

I’d mark the price up for him wasting your time. Say, 500?

That's exactly what I did.
I didn't answer him that day and when he contacted me the next day I gave him the 'revised' price and told him, you know the numbers, you have my address, I will be here all day. There will be no further discussion. He got mad at me for being so nasty. At least he stopped bugging me. |
