decided to pull the trigger ..... too late?
As you know I have been going back and forth about this car e-bay #
4624691467. I saw the car and drove it, it is as advertised. I dont know why I did not leave a deposit then. I called the seller tonight and was told someone from Manhatten was going to look at the car tomorrow night, if he does not buy the car I will. Seller told me if the potential buyer does not have a garage there will be no sale. Anyway I am hoping this potential buyes does not buy the car. Moral of the story If you see somthing you want go for it. He who hesitates......

HHHmm, you should have first option to buy, you drove it and you could get him a deposit someway before tomorrow night...unless he is paying more money than you, I would contact the seller now...

I missed out on 2 "perfect for me" cars before I actually got the one I got, but in retrospect I got the best of the 3!

Sometimes it's hard to pull the trigger on a deal ... I was going through the same thing on the C5 that I now own. It was wife that talked me into making the deal in the end. A wise woman, if I must say so myself 
Bottom line -- if you are serious about getting into a car ... and you see one that meets your requirements, ie. options, price, etc. Then go for it.

Hope it works out for you and you get the car. I agree with telling the seller you have a deposit in hand - maybe that will make the deal for you.
