However, last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.

The Art of Scuppering the Deal

    I dealt with somebody like that before. I had an old Honda in amazing shape, but occasionally it refused to start and bringing it to the dealer found nothing and they would start it finem. But I had a family and another car so it was time to get rid of it. I put it up for sale as is and $200. Some guy gave me $50 deposit, then later wanted to only pay $150 total. I took both front seats out and told him he could come get it for $150 or have his deposit back. He came and towed it. $200 was a steal of a deal and he tried to be a dick.

    I donated the seats to the local auto-wrecker, so the guy searching around would find them and them probably pay $50 per seat.
