I had a clown like that , wasting my time with a bunch of hot air. I don't grasp the logic of deception with these guys.
I only had to drive about an hour , to meet him at a corvette shop, expecting to pay 100 bucks for a mechanical inspection and buy the car for $14,000 or so. I saved the $100 bucks in the first few moments with the car, and made an offer of $6000 cash after going through the obvious problems.
He got all indignant and stormed off. He called me three days later to accept that offer, but I was no longer in the heat of car buying negotiations and knew better than to buy trouble. I have a lot of experience spending money, not so much repairing corvettes.

I'll never forget the first one I looked. Local real estate agent, his baby, perfect and on and on.
Parked in the drive when I arrived looking like it just went through a 99 cent car wash!!
Rockers filthy, wheels all scraped up. Took me about 10 seconds to walk away.
Remember, patience! Good Luck!
