Don't let the seller persuade your decision out of haste.  I stopped on my way to Iowa this year to look at an Intimidator.  The seller had taken it off of the market while waiting to me to come look at it.  While I was there, he made mention that if I didn't want it, that he had 2 or 3 others just waiting to purchase the boat.  Almost 4 weeks and another $1000 price reduction, I believe he finally sold the boat.  ( his starting  price was $9k, he dropped it to $7500, which is when I looked at it, and then to $6500 before he sold it.  I think he paid $9500 for the boat and never used it)  Don't end up with "buyers remorse".  There will always be others.

Hey thanx Terry I appreciate it. I think he is an honest person but boats like this take a special person to be able to own one. Meaning gas is supper expensive,The boat is not practicle. But damn there cool!!!! I have always wanted to own one. I have no kids and dont want to be a little old man sitting on the couch one day saying I wish I had owned a cool classic muscle boat. LOL. Thank you for your imput.

Okay so get this guys!!! I gave him my number and told him to call if someone else comes along. He gets a call and a guy is on the other side of Canada says I will pay you 6800 full price. I will be there next tuesday with the money. NO NO  DEPOSIT word of mouth. I call him tonight to buy it he says sorry sold it. The guy lives 30hrs away I live 2hrs away and was at his house to see it. I asked him three times YOU WONT TAKE MY MONEY? He say sorry no. I say good luck with My offer is 5000 grand if he doesnt buy it. Money talks. I am choked.

I wonder if it's that same guy who drove all the way from BC to get Gary's CSS?

If I'm honest, if my choice was $5000, or wait a couple days for $6800...I'm waiting too.  That's a significant difference and worth the risk.

You must have miss understood me I told him I would give him the 6800 on Saturday. H said no three times he was waiting for this stranger. I told him when he calls me next week it will be 5000. Thanx I was going to pay full price three days sooner the next guy. And I have already invested about 8hours driveing and researching.

Yes, I did misread.  I don't get that decision then either...that's strange. 

I wonder if he doesn't really want to sell then?  Cuz why else would the guy balk at a full price offer then?  Yes, next week, you have earned a discount.  That stinks!

What bothers me is I met him and already at second base to do the water test. I told him alot can happen with the guy from 30hrs away that hasnt made a deposit either. I am 2hrs away plus I told him I would give him the 6800 cash three days payed earlier. I think you are right he doesnt want to sell. It is an excuse and he just cant let the boat go. Thank you for the support.

It's not that uncommon of a boat. There will be more. Probably even nicer ones!
