So I sold a car I had saved for my daughter. She did not want it because it was a 5spd. I listed it on craigs list. A buyer was interested, came and test drove it, hooked up his phone with torque app, and liked the car. I think it is sold, not quite. He wants to come back and see a cold start. The car is listed for $1700. Not a whole lot of money. Whatever. We set-up a time for the cold start. He comes back with tools,another code reader and a list of 10 things to check. He says "Can I pull a spark plug?" Whatever. He proceeds to pull all 4 in my driveway. At this point no money has changed hands and I am getting agitated. I said " you know, you usually do that in your in own driveway after you bought it" His wife is getting nervous but he proceeds to check things off his list and do a car fax in the driveway on a $1700 car. Nothing was wrong with the car, all checked good. Money changed hands and off they went. Anyway has anyone ever ran into this or done this before you bought a car?
I understand checking things over and bringing a code reader, but 2 visits and a list,tools and car fax in the owners driveway? before you buy it? Is this just what you run into on craigs list?
