Cisco I hear your pain and am feeling it right now.

I have an 2002 X5 that I put in the papers last week. I haven't sold a car online in a long time most of my car sales have been private one on one sales. This car I have had for a while now and even when I purchased my E7 X5 I kept it for trips to Florida and other places. Put the mileage on that one instead. But driving is less and less due to medical and having two Suv's is kinda silly now.

Well I placed the ad in craigslist and autotrader. So far 14 calls and 4 emails which you think would be great but most of them are people who can find me a buyer. 5 were real people with real problems. I told these people I am willing to budge a little on the price especially since it was just posted and they said no problem. One wants to drive my car but wants to drive it alone. I said please go find another car this one isn't for you. He said why not? I said you think that I will let you drive my car alone while you have another person who dropped you off waiting for you? Don't take me a fool. Then he asked me for 3K off the asking when I told he can't drive it alone.

I really wanted to tell him to take more than a hike but I said have a great day and please don't call even if you offer me full price or over.

Another one has called every day but hasn't wanted to see the car or drive it or inspect it. I told him everything about it. His wife then calls me and talks to me about it saying she is the one that wants it. But for a whole week and a half just calls and never interested in seeing the car or anything. I don't want to be rude but if you are interested see my car because talking about it for over a week is not going to get you any closer to buying it.

I can see why its so frustrating to sell a car online, craigslist or Autotrader.

I will post it here but if I continue to get the craziness I will just sell it to a local used car lot or CarMax. I don't have the patience for it.

I get a guy on the west coast who has emailed me about the SUV. I live in ATL, GA. Emails me two times but doesn't call me at all. No responses to my return emails either.

UGH!! Why does it have to be this hard?
