The City Council of Cincinnati has copped a plea to shenanigans, and the taxpayers will pay, of course.
I am lined up to buy a car, after months of searching. The short version is that I was emailing back and forth with a guy in North Carolina with a 2003 Audi TT and after checking the VIN, had agreed on a price when, with a week to go, a note I placed on a local car was replied to!
"Sure, I'd sell it, although I wasn't planning on it" was the reply, and for $100 less than the other car, we have a deal, unless something really awful turns up in the #rd party mechanic check. Then, another guy I texted also replied, "hey, the car is still available" LOL That one was in Colorado, I liked the wheels, but the turbo was out.
So, there's that.
They got the title squared away, but the seller is sick as a dog with the flu right now, so it'll have to wait until next week. ARGH.
That's the main event! Well, and the stupid van needs tires. #adultingsux
