The UN-written rules for contacting a seller.....

[Car Guy]

On Thursday I found a vehicle on Autotrader (in Riverside, CA!) that I really would like to have, it's EXACTLY what I've been looking for :headbang . I called Friday morning and left a message on their answering machine with my name/number/etc, right after that I also sent an email via the for sale ad on Autotrader.....


My question is, how soon can I call them again (leaving a message or not) without coming off as a 'stalker'...???


I usually don't get all worked up about ANY vehicle but this one I will be :fire about if I miss out on it. I'm hoping to get if for less than what the asking price is but if it comes to it I would pay it on the spot no questions asked. For all I know it's already sold but I need to know either way.....

once a day is good in my book

[rally_scort]

once a day is good in my book

x2, if they want your calls to stop they can answer em or send you an email back

[Prince Valiant]

Really? I always though 17 or 19x a day was good. It's not a round number.

[ThatWhiteCivic]

Yeah once a day is ok in my book.

[Feature Pony]

heck I would be calling at least 4 times a day if it was something I wanted. BTW what is it?

[Waver]

I have a rule, no more than 2 times a day, unless you are playing phone tag with them

[BoosTT]

Call them from a different phone number.

It's there own problem if they get calls and have an ad posted.

[Voodoo Chick]

Call them from a different phone number.

It's there own problem if they get calls and have an ad posted.

That's what I was going to say too. THEY posted the ad.....they shouldn't have a problem with getting the calls about it......What is it for that has you so excited, btw???

[TransAm12sec]

The more you call, it seems like the more you should be willing to pay the asking price.

[Burgandy85SS]

I would also say once a day. And if its sold it would be nice if they would atleast call you and let you know or delete there ad. Its annoying when people selling something do not return there calls.

[Car Guy]

Called just now and it was SOLD...!!! :fire :fire :fire


I knew it was too good to be true.....:crying

[Prince Valiant]

I'd jokingly say that the god's were smiling on you that it sold before you could get it, lol. Kidding!

Would that had been the 2.9? Must admit, that's a CLEAN aerostar.

[TheRX7Project]

Wow that thing was super clean.

[GRAMPS SS]

a freaking mini van...you have got to be kidding us Justin...

[88Nightmare]

its clean but come on... a 20 year old minivan?

[TheRX7Project]

It would make a great winter beater. And those are RWD, aren't they?

[Rocket Power]

It would make a great winter beater. And those are RWD, aren't they?

And they do good brake stands:rolf
Was it at least a 4.0L?
I will admit I didn't see an Aerostar coming, thought maybe a Clean SHO

[pOrk]

Justin, I ain't gonna lie I laughed my balls off when the minivan picture loaded.

[Yooformula]

should have called 19 times like Chris said.

[Feature Pony]

Justin, I ain't gonna lie I laughed my balls off when the minivan picture loaded.

x2 if you step back to 1996 my buddys parents unloaded a aerostar just like that and it was clean for $2k with 70,000 miles on it. :rolf

[Car Guy]

Don't hate.....:thumbsup

[srt4eh]

if i would've known u were looking to buy a van I would've said to call 20x a day ;)

[Car Guy]

I will remember that for next time, but this wasn't just any van.....:)

[lordairgtar]

I thought maybe at least a Neon, but an Aerostar?

[Voodoo Chick]

I was here thinking it was some kind of sexy little sportscar.......but a van!!!! LOL, to each their own!

[lordairgtar]

plus the fact that he would have actually pay some one to ship that thing back here.

[Voodoo Chick]

Well.......Maybe it was the hottest damn van ever, and maybe we just can't see her true inner beauty???? LOL....It's all good, beauty is totally in the eye of the beholder...:thumbsup

[Car Guy]

plus the fact that he would have actually pay some one to ship that thing back here.


WRONG!, already had the one-way plane ticket reserved.....:)

Not to mention for what they were asking I COULD have had it shipped back for a $1,000 and still sold it on eBay for a profit. Yes, believe it or not there are people out there that will pay decent $$$ for one that is that clean. I just wanted it for a DD because it is EXTREMEMLY practical (among other reasons) for me, which is hauling small(er) items and occasionally towing a 5x8' utility trailer.....

[BoosTT]

lol.

[T-Bag]

Why not just buy an Astro/Safari? Leaps and bounds ahead of an aerojunk!

[Car Guy]

That would be a negative.....

[Car Guy]

FOUND ANOTHER ONE...!!! :rolf :rolf :rolf

:puke :puke :puke

[lordairgtar]

Ah hell! Buy it. Judging from the puke smilies, yer not diggin' the colors? After looking at these vans on the interwebs, I think me liking them a bit. Is it full frame like the little GM vans were?

[Prince Valiant]

Hey, the graphics can be taken off. Long wheelbase, you KNOW it's the 4.0. We know you have NO taste in minivans...so why not?

:goof

[GRAMPS SS]

justin...that one looks nice...love the paint...the best part i read was this..."The engine is a V6 (under the hood says it is a 4.0L) and doesn't use any oil. " just like dani's GTO...:goof

[Voodoo Chick]

It sure is colorful!!

[srt4eh]

He says "The ONLY reason I am selling my van is that I can not afford to keep two vehicles at the moment and my other vehicle is financed."

Um....this vehicle isn't costing you anything....whats the problem? lol
