I just turned down a deal

[EmperorIQ]

I went to check outa red/black cbr today, the guy was asking for 5300, so after 45mins of me asking for 5000, he said that he'll accept 5100, if I pay him 2000 now so he can pay off his credit card bills. He bought the bike from a dealership and had to pay off the rest of the payments in one lump sum in order to sell it.

Here is the thing though, he said if I pay 2000$ I get the bike, and I get it for 5100, but he doesn't have the pink slip yet, since the finance agency didn't mail it to him yet. He had only paid off all the balance 2 weeks ago.

I told him no, not w/o a pink slip, so I could have saved 200 bucks. Was this a wise choice by me? to wait for a pink slip?


cliffs:
guy will sell bike to me for 200$ less if I pay 2000$ to help him pay off the balance he has on the bike, he doesn't have pink slip, and I don't know him, so I told him no.

Thanks.

if you are going ghetto, sure.

sometimes titles take time especially if you are paying cash.

Just make a good contract on anything substantial and have a notary > *

I may be turning one down today myself, found a 20 foot Sea Ray cabin cruiser with a Chevy 350 that needs some work, the guy is talking about $1800 for it, says it needs a new starter & fuel pump.

Am very tempted.

I bought my audi like that - the guy will give you keys and write you a reciept. Then he needs to get ahold of the bank, pay off the balance and they'll mail you the title.
