Thats a good idea, when I didn't email him back he dropped it down to 800 lol. I think I will wait a little longer, and email him back. And yes, he is getting desperate lol


How much could/would you give cash with the truck?

Right now, none. I have my ways of getting cash though, probably around 500 or so.

Then when you email him back tell him you just cant do that much cash. At the most you could do is 500. The deal is getting more involved now with the amount of time it is taking so I would try and keep the bullshiznitting to a minimum. Just to make it easier. All depends on how good you are at it and how good he is.

x2. DVP has a really good point here. If you really want the car and thats about all you can get, go for it!

Well I was straight up with him the whole time. Sent him an ass load of pictures of the truck, especially ones that showed where the paint was worse (that was my very first email to him, and he responded back "when do you want to make the swap?") So I kinda got pissed when he later asked for money on top of the deal after setting time to go check it out, and agreeing on an even trade. I hat getting the run-around from people, and I hate bullshiznittin' too. A quick trade is really what I was looking for, and he has been beating around the bush, holding me on by a thread until a possible better deal comes his way, then I'm out. Screw that, he can keep his car, and hold on to it for however long he wants, as I have lost interest in it now anyway. I have always been a Ford man at heart, and that Riviera would have gotten in the way of me getting a Cougar. I admit, from the pictures it looked nice and I was excited for a while, but after emailing him a million times, and calling him once, only for him not to answer my calls after that, I am done with this loser.

I'd give a nut for that riviera.  That's just me.  I love my beat up bird, but nothing replaces big block sound and power.

Yea, the Riv is nice, and a classic, but nothing will replace that feeling I get when I look at a cougar (:catbang: Oh yeah!). An '83 ls was my first car, so naturally (and luckily) I really got into liking  them. Almost every car I have had since I was 16 was a cat - minus the POS grand prix gtp and the toyota camry - Like 6 cougars (fox's and mn-12's). Well anyways, time to save up and find one

HMMMM.Makes mine seem like quite a deal doesn't it?I was squiggles with it in front of the house just a few minutes ago.
 

  A Riviera takes a special buyer.I have a 68' with a 70 455,White,Buckets and consloe shift,RARE factory posi trac and it's a Washington state car meaning no major rust issues.Well worth the $2800 I have been asking and no takers.Not even lookers........It leaves massive positrac smokers for at least 100ft.
  You can never replace that Buick torque.BUICK is the TORQUE king!
  I'm sure something will come along in your price range,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvfL6JpRzzMPatience..

YES! Buick IS the torque king. The 1970 455 is unbeatable, especially the Stage 1 engine found in the GSX. Id LOVE one of those. 510 lb-ft. Nuuuuuts.

Nothing like an old torque monster for an occasional burnout!:burnout:
  I have won more street races with big old Buicks back in the day than I can remember.My 73' boat tail and 63' nailhead 401 were some sleeper favorites!
