TButtrick,

Not talking about different houses. Initial price is the offer price not the sale price there is a difference. It happens very often for quality property. It has nothing to do with a person lack of integrity. He got a fair price given the timeframe he needed to sell. Good for him. There is a good chance he could have gotten more if he had had the time to sell.

Why would he sell if he got a better offer. As far as I can tell he did not accept any offers, no hands were shaken and no papers faxed or signed.

This is a good deal for all parties involved. Each gets more than they might have. Stuart gets more money for a quick sale and Ernie (you are the buyer) gets more car for his money. At least on the surface. He will be the one to determine how much if anything needs to be put into the car.

TC -- I agree. Once you make an offer and it is accepted to me it is a done deal. In this particular case the price increased, for whatever reason, and then the deal closed.

Congratulations Ernie -- It looks like you have a very nice car. I particularly like the tan interior. It looks sharp. Not as sharp as the bleach white interior in your old car (or was that the DVSF car?)
