I have done smaller deposits with people once I have seen the car and registration - it is pretty common for used car purchase even from private party - and really - is someone going to go through all that trouble to rip you off for 500 bucks?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sorry things didn't work- good luck with the search as otto says - there are other fish out there.
Been lining up a nice 996. We agreed to price which was her asking price and was just waiting for the inspection which is set for this Tuesday.
Lady emails me this afternoon...so sorry...sold to another for same price...they didnt want a PPI so I sold it to him instead.
Fuggin see you next tuesday!!!!!
Oh well...the dood shes selling to is gonna get hosed because she was leary of the PPI from the first time i mentioned it.
grrrrrr
from a seller's perspective she made the right call.
Sorry things didn't work- good luck with the search as otto says - there are other fish out there.
yup it wasnt....ive moved on to a nice silver one number thats 2 years newer
good thing i have a ppi booked! :P
just curious though...how many people would give a complete stranger a deposit? i totally understand at a car dealer but a private individual youve never met?
I have done smaller deposits with people once I have seen the car and registration - it is pretty common for used car purchase even from private party - and really - is someone going to go through all that trouble to rip you off for 500 bucks? I always write the receipt as refundable deposit with the terms we agreed to and have us both sign.
Even with a check she could sell to the next person and rip your check up or hand it back to you. Even with a cash deposit the same thing applies. She could hand you the cash back. In other words. She can sell to whoever she likes. She could gazump you for a higher price from the next person. She can refuse to sell it to anyone afterall. It is her car. If she has signed something to the effect she will sell to you then you can take her to court. Other than that, Bollux to her and move on.
You know i think you are correct...she was quite apprehensive as soon as i mentioned inspection.
Great comments everyone thanks...i may go give the silver 996 a deposit tommorow!
Call me crazy but when I was pursueing the C4S purchase - long distance - sight unseen - never met the seller. I did put up a 10% deposit via certified bank check. I get it that I was taking a risk but sometimes trust has to be a part of the deal.
Now understand that I was on the hunt for a C4S for quite some time and this one appeared to be the closest to a perfect example as I had come across - so I was quite motivated to not lose the opportunity to own it.
After the PPI I had the car shipped and fortunately everything worked out very well.
