Selling A Car, By Idiot

Okay, so I am looking to purchase a decent daily driver car, because I don't want to drive the SRT during the winter, plus I've been putting a lot of miles on the car this summer, and also because the car needs a little work under warranty, and I don't want to be without a car from a week to a month while the work is done.

So I've been perusing craig's list looking at all the cars that are around 2000 dollars, and I've settled in on a few Dodge cars, because those are the cars I know how to work on. One particular car, a 1999 Plymouth Breeze, a nice dark blue color, decent shape, is going for exactly 2200 dollars. So I called the number and left a message around lunch time today. Thus the stupidity begins.

At about 7 pm tonite, he sends me a text: "Who is this?"

I text my name back to him.

Him: "U called me" WTF? NO SHIT? Do you not check your messages?

Me: "I called about the car you have for sale"

Him: "Yah I'm at work right now what do you want to know?" Uhm... DUH?

Me: "I want to come look at the car"

Him: "I have school and i work to marrow and im gonna b out of town all weekend"

What the hell??? At this point I was getting really peeved at this guy...

Me: "Well, do you want to sell this car you posted, or not?"

Him: "Well, yah I can see if i can get work off to marrow"

I didn't respond. Not sure if I'll even try to go look at the car "to marrow" considering this dipshit's perpensity for thick headedness.

I mean, come on, if you are going to spend the time on the internet to post up a car, and talk about how you "need money and have to sell it" aren't you going to at least answer your phone, check messages, and RETURN THE CALL, instead of playing text tag and acting like a flaming retarded idiot?

Its all got me a little wary of the guy, to be honest. I don't know if anyone is really this stupid about selling their car?
