I drove 2 hours yesterday morning to go look at what I thought was a cool old 71 Chevy wagon & had cash in hand with plans to buy it if it was as good as the owner had said. It was priced a little high because it did not have a motor or tranny, but they are hard to find so I was willing to suck it up anyway. Had talked to the guy on the phone & what he described to me seemed to be a really nice car. Well, after i got there I found a different story. The back cargo floor & spare tire area was rusted & almost gone, the left front fender & about 3 different spots of the body had some very shoddy repair in the past, the hood had been broken in the middle from trying to close it with stuck hinges, the body has dents all over & the interior was rotting away. I was still interested in the car, but not at the price he was asking. He seemed almost insulted when I started pointing things out to him, but I had to because it was not worth what he wanted. Long story short, I walked away without the car because he was priced about three times too high & would not budge an inch. Was a lot of wasted time & wasted gas for me that could have been avoided if he was just a little more honest with me.
