We got screwed this weekend y'all!! Partially my fault by not getting the address before we left town. But...
We drove to Nicholasville, KY to check out an '81 XS400 SUPPOSEDLY for $350, running, w/ parts bike & title. Texted on the way out of town to let him know I'm on my way. He says they can't find the title - fine, I don't need it since it's an '81 and in TN I can easily title anything that's pre-'84. So he knows I'll be there around 3p their time.
Three hours later we get off the parkway and I txt him to get the address.. no answer. We get into town, call him, no answer.. goes to VM "unavailable". Call again, goes to VM "fowarded to VM" - so he's seeing it, and ignoring me. Call several more times, same thing. Eventually he calls me - says he's selling it for his neighbor and had told me wrong - it's gonna be $450, not $350. Fine... I finally get him to give me an address, but it's a place in Lexington, not Nicholasville and I'm all WTF?!#? Then the "owner"/neighbor calls me. He asks "What did Glen tell you?" - I say he told me $350 and to come up this afternoon. No, he says, it's definitely $450. I say fine - what's the address so I can come look at it? And he says he just got off work, and the title is someplace else, and the parts bike is at his neighbor's, and he just can't deal with it until tomorrow. I say wtf man? Your boy told me to come up today and I'm here now. He says: "nah man, it ain't like that." So, no bike, no sh1t. 450 miles r/t + $70 in gas.
Bummer.
