[s-cars] Heads up to the list re:Paul Dyson

[Jay M]

Wow, some story about the absent minded professor you dealt with in Kansas. Glad it eventually worked out for you.
 
Yeah, that's the same Paul Dyson who helped you out. An older guy and from his accent I gather he is an English chap. He sounded like such a nice guy on the phone the times I spoke to him during the last few days. That's why I can't believe he called me on the phone this morning telling me he is not honoring our agreement but instead decided to sell the car to somone else. We even exchanged emails yesterday in which I said I would call him today and let him know the exact time I would be picking up the car on either Tuesday or Wednesday. I should have known something was amiss when on July 6 during one of our our initial contacts after I received pictures of the car he emailed me and said that the car was just sold. I then asked him to call me if the deal did not go through and I will pay cash for the car. He did call me shortly thereafter and said the original deal for the car was complicated and didn't go through. The rest as they say is history. 
 
I guess there is a bright side to the story in the sense he told me today that our deal is off because he decided to sell the car to a "friend". At least I didn't travel with wads of cash in my pockets all the way to pick up the car and have him be a no show or tell me then that he already sold the car. Oh well, I have a UrS6 Avant and sedan so life will go on!!! Time to put this one to rest, there will be better cars and opportunities coming along. Live and learn.

I was in a bind one day at my parents' home in Mclean and found my wife's A4 Avant way low on GOO2000 and at the time didn't know there were readily available alternatives and being Sunday the dealer was closed. This same Paul Dyson (most likely, he had an UrS6 at the time) was kind enough to give me about 3/4 of a bottle and wouldn't accept payment for it. Really helped me out. On the other hand, I've had a similar experience buying an allroad from a seller in Kansas. After agreeing to terms on EVERYTHING, me buying plane a ticket, sending him my flight itenerary, him agreeing to pick me up in KC and drive me back to Lawrence where the car was, etc... When I called him on the morning of the deal from Atlanta where I switched planes, he acted like he had no idea who I was and no recollection of agreeing to pick me up, etc. Luckily he hadn't sold the car and still honored our agreement on price, and I got off with a $95 car rental and drove to Lawrence mys
