Reply to "Pricey GT5-S"

Time to set the record straight. The ebay 5-S was bought by my client. Yes, he raised the auction purposely until it met the reserve. With every intention of buying the car, he flew me out there to inspect the car. I spent the day with Dennis Quella then in to Brighton, 45 minutes north. Dorsey has a decent car, driver quality with gorgeous paint & couple issues that have to be straightened out, plus no wheels, no seats, and the original parts do ~not~ go at the 200 number. As it stands now, the buyer has offered 175 with all parts, Dorsey is at 200k. The deal fell apart.
Next up, the silver 5-Steel in Orange County Ca. Advertised in HMN at 225k. This example is as close to a Perfect 5-Steel as exists. 4000 original mile car. Drop dead gorgeous, no issues what-so-ever. Nothing nothing nothing. Its a go. Time to close the deal. Ahhh...........hold up. Then... the seller bulks. Tells us to give him 'a call' around the end of the month, he'll let us know. Huh!??? Know what! Amazing. After paying a Pantera guy to fly all over the US and then this. Not fair. Heres an enthusiast with the coin in hand, having a terrible time here. Soooo... next, on to Newark to see Adams black 5-S at 7:05 in the AM. Priced at 190k, selling it to raise funds to buy a Mangusta. Wish me luck, I have a good feeling about this one. Buy it or not, theres the Mecum black 5-S in seven weeks, I'll be on stage bidding on that car, but unfortunately for the selling party, he has a horrible run time. That number is too late. I don't expect any car to break the bank at that hour. I wish him the best though, for all of our sake. Wish he'd got a prime time # with live international broadcasting so a world market could bid. At any rate, I'm off topic. Any other 5-S leads please advise. He ~will~ buy a car or two. Thanks guys.
