That is EXACTLY, WORD FOR WORD what you said when I posted that I purchased ERA 717 for $39K.....

Get some new material......PLEASE.

And I NEVER posted pictures of that car here.....But it happened...It was REAL, MRMUSTANG has the PROOF sitting in his garage.

Stings when you get proven wrong HUH???

Notice the view count on this thread.....Over 1800 views!!!

I say there's a LOT of people here interested in LEARNING how this is done!!!

We'll see....Rodknock has made his mind up....I have a GT40 sitting 30 feet from where I type this.....He has his post BEGGING people not to sell me their car....

Well Rodney......It didn't work....It never does, and it never will. I have REALTORS that BEG people not to sell to me....But the difference is....Those REALTORS aren't writing a CHECK to these people....I AM!!!!

Here's the DETAILS of this transaction...

The seller didn't want anyone coming to his home to see the car....I offered his friend $1000 to act as a facilitator for the deal....He went back and forth with the seller until they both felt comfortable that I was a real buyer. I offered to meet the seller at his local Police Station to view the car, which is exactly what happened. I checked out the car, had the VIN run while we were there with 10 cops looking at the car (there's benefits to BOTH sides doing this at a cop shop) Once we both knew everything was legit we hammered out a price, the money was wired next day and the car was picked up once funds were confirmed. Seamless, easy transaction by a seller that wanted his privacy respected and didn't want to deal with tire kickers. AND....Got a smokin' deal on a 550....Without the Ferrari 550 in this equation there would have been no deal. He discounted the GT40 because he needed space, speed, and a deal with no hassles.

this is standard operating procedure for me in my real estate business....People call me and think it's a scam.....My JOB is to PROVE to them I am a real buyer, with real money....I do this by telling them what I intend to do and them PROVING it to them....I tell them my attorney will call them before lunch time to confirm he has the sales agreement and my deposit check, that attorney has orders (deal breaking orders, as in, if you don;t do this you lose me as a client orders) to call the sellers before lunch and confirm each and every item we discussed. I hand that attorney detailed notes on each property spelling out EXACTLY what I promised that seller. When the seller gets that read back to them by my attorney, and watches each and every item checked off that list....IT BUILDS TRUST.

There are so many nit wits out there that when someone finds a person that is honest and simply does what he says he will do....YOU STAND OUT. You get their attention and they WANT to do business with you.

Look at my ad on Cobra Country for ERA 717.....That car sold in 4 hours with a 428 motor that will need to be torn down and rebuilt or replaced with a short block.....$42,000....WHY??? Because the ad was HONEST. It stood out, the price was right considering what work the car will need and the transaction was great....The BUYER was an honest no BS guy..

Once again I'm being called out by a nit wit....Isn't the first time, won't be the last.

Some folks just don't get it.......And I make a very nice living because of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
