Honest & Candid Talk Pave The Way To Car Sale

Ok - just one more car-search story, only because I think the point is very important, short & sweet. ALWAYS be honest and candid when selling your car. If you’re not 110% brutally forthright in communication with your potential customers, you’ll damage the the developing seller/buyer relationship, creating distrust that can easily make a no-sale. And, don’t insult your potential buyer’s intelligence (give them SOME credit - they’re looking at your car, aren’t they?) by using disingenuous tactics to drum up interest in a decidedly ho-hum vehicle.
For example, I emailed a seller on Craigslist about a Ford Taurus sedan that looked like it would fit the bill. No phone number was included, so I asked for contact information - a phone number. The car was local and to see it, I would need to get in touch with the owner. And here was the reply:
“I’ve received several offers so far - I’ll be showing the vehicle tonight and tomorrow night to a couple potential buyers - pending the outcomes - I’d be happy to show you the car. I’ll let you know ASAP
