Sucks that you didn't get the car. However, had may have had others telling him the same thing. Unfortunately, it is about the $$$. First come, first served. You could have done a number of things to ensure that he held the car for you. Overnight a check, Paypal if he had it, etc. You have to show a little extra effort if you really wanted it. just saying that you would buy it. He didn't know you from Adam. He probably wasn't in a rush to sell it, until some $$$ showed up. I say all of this from experience. I've sold MANY vehicles and I've had numerous people back out of deals even after they gave me their word.
