I hate shopping for a used car!

I haven’t gone out car shopping for a used car in over 20 years. I’m looking for something to get me back and forth to work. It used to be that you could drive up and down any main thoroughfare, and see cars parked all over the place with “For sale” signs in the window. Not anymore, the internet has changed all that. I know, because I’ve driven all over, and only seen a handful of vehicles.

Then I started searching on Craigs List…..found a couple, but it’s not as easy as just making a phone call on some of these……noooo…you have to email them….then wait for an answer…although I did get a hold of one person by phone…he said to call back in 45 minutes when he would be home from work. So I did….no answer…..gave him the benefit of the doubt, tried back 40 minutes later…..no answer again. I went back to looking on Craig’s List, and saw that in that 45 minute time span, he had raised the price of the car. He could of told me this had he just picked up the phone. (Ass hole)

Then I get an email reply…..I can see the car sometime between 4 and 7. Cool. So I email back saying I’d like to see it at 4.….again, no response….and again I see that he has raised the price on his listing.

So I expand the search. Start looking in other cities……find a bunch that actually have phone numbers…I’ll start calling on them shortly…..hopefully the monsoon we are currently experiencing will let up.

I am off work today, my goal is to find a vehicle TODAY. Maybe I’ve already weeded a couple ass holes out of the equation, and I can find someone who just wants to sell a vehicle. After all, I thought that was the purpose of posting a listing.
