I Thought Old People Were Supposed To Be Nice. Need Advice!

[Gator740]

Soo, a couple years ago I found a stock (90-93?) Lx coupe, 5.0 5 speed. It's been sitting for quite awhile, but every change of season,
i knock on this AARP recipient's door, ask to buy his unique lawn orniment and he says no. I'm 25 so maybe he doesn't want to sell it to a "young punk" but I know it can't mean much to him since it's been sitting for a few years.
I want this car big time, if anyone has any advice on how to get this car from Satan himself, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Why would you want that rusty old pile of chit?

In central Ohio, that is a gem. It's all surface, the frame is great too. I've done some sneaking around and it's in alright shape. I looked for a while for a stock 5 speed, v8 coupe and everyone wanted a pile of cash.

Best you can do is show up and show cash. It he doesn't want to sell, leave it be. You can't make someone sell something.

Hell, the guy up the road is the same way with his vette. Show the money like already mentioned (tree fiddy).

Have you simply asked him why he wont sell the car???

I love my stang but a handful of cash will make it roll out of my yard.

Maybe it's where he keeps his dead hookers.

Hhmmm.... now you know to much.....

Man I'd go up and offer to prime it for him...for free.....so that maybe when he croaks he'd leave it to me.

Seriously, ask him what his plans are for it. Offer to help him reach his goal. He probably has an unrealistic dream of getting it nice again. If he knows you like it as much as he does, he might let you carry on his dream. You've gotta get inside his head, man.

Stop by and give him an LMR catalog. Stick a " Mustang Parking Only " sign in front of that car.

Come on man.....think outside the box.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Proven here. I would come in a mechanic jumpsuit and knock on his door. Say that you are going around the neighborhood offering to pick up metal. Show him cash in hand for it. Ya never know.

I loved that scene. We're not talking about a pistol-caliber carbine, or a "mouse gun" AR, ol' Clint comes out with the 30-06 M1 Garand! "The greatest battle rifle ever" according to General Patton himself!

I've got one of those....awesome firearm.

 

[Ronin38]

So do I.

One of my favorites, though, is my M1 Carbine.

Maybe I'll make a "missed connection" Craigslist ad. He's a lonely old man, im sure he surfs Craigslist Personal ads.
Dear, rusty fox...

 

[DocG]

I know you are probably just being sarcastic on here, but I hope you don't actually try to talk to this guy with that type of attitude.

Heck you never know maybe he already posted an ad on CL looking for you to come back.

Lol .. They still got those missed connections ? When Craigs was first released we had a blast looking through those at work. But then when they started murdering people, we though they had stopped that part of Craigs.
