RE: Heads up to the list re: Paul Dyson‏

Yes, "things happen." However, FYI I wanted the car and I was just trying to buy it. I don't live near Mr. Dyson so I just can't drive over with cash and make the purchase. However, I offered to pay via paypal and/or have my bank wire funds directly into Mr. Dyson's bank account. He declined and said cash upon picking up the vehicle would be fine and wrote below, "I will keep the car exclusively for you for seven days to give you time to get here."

Not really interested in the car??? Perhaps you didn't read the third sentence in my original post. With all due respect, your comment clearly shows that you obviously do not have a firm grasp of the situation.

 

Mr. Dyson seemed like a good man in my conversations with him but actions speak louder than words. If I told somebody I was going to "keep the car exclusively for you for seven days to give you time to get here," I would absolutely, 100% honor that agreement. I guess that is the difference between me and Mr. Dyson.

 

The reason I initially posted this is to hopefully prevent this waste of time and money from happening to any other members of this list if this is Mr. Dyson's typical MO.

'things' happen. if you wanted the car i would just buy it. he's letting you know someone has cash for him and would ya hurry up and buy the car already. appears you aren't really interested in the car and that Mr. Dyson should have sold for cash.

Just want to let everyone know to be cautious of a poster on Audifans named Paul Dyson from Mclean, VA. Paul and I had a verbal and written agreement that I was to buy his car to be picked up within 7 days from 7/9/11. I spent the time and resources to do the usual pre-purchase things such as carfax, moved some money around to secure funds, made travel arrangements & purchase tickets, etc. I offered to paypal a deposit for the car on 7/9. Below is a copy of Paul's response. However, Paul called me this morning and said there is "Somebody at my door with money right now and he wants to buy the car."  I asked Paul how this other buyer came into the picture when the car was sold as we had a verbal and written agreement. We discussed our agreement and that I was going to pick up the car no later than this Wednesday as we agreed in our phone conversation and emails. Needless to say, I will not be buying the car from this dishonorable seller.


Here is the exact email the seller sent me on 7/9/11 at 2:45 PM I cut and pasted (with the exception that I deleted his street address)

I talked with my wife about her PayPal account but she is not sure if it is still alive or even if it is how she would get money out of it.  I will keep the car exclusively for you for seven days to give you time to get here.

My address is:
Paul Dyson
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
McLean  VA 22101

I am not sure which way will be best for you to get here - I leave that to you.  If you come by train , bus or plane I can pick you up.

Paul
