[SIZE=3]Hello fellow tsikoteers. I’d just like to ask for advise about my case. A potential buyer has been pestering me about my car which I placed in a local newspaper ad some months back. Months ago, we did not come to the agreement because he was asking for a very unreasonable price for my car (pinababawasan niya ng 25% for a 2001 model-which I, including my friends and family did not consider to be reasonable) and I did not give in. One week ago, he again inquired about my car and I said it is not yet sold but I am not in a hurry to sell it. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Two days ago, I agreed to meet him and his wife so that we can further negotiate on the price. I agreed to lower my selling price but he still insists on reducing it to 25% kasi yun lang daw kaya niya. I asked if he could set it even higher considering that I am not a buy and sell and that the car is in very good condition and I’ve poured a lot of money maintaining it. He and his wife practically beg that I give in because they said that the value of that car would eventually depreciate. I asked for more time to consult my wife about the offer. They even said that they just went to see a CRV but they didn’t like the condition of the car so they decided to stick to mine..alam ko nagustuhan din nila.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]When me and my wife decided to stick to our terms (a reasonable reduction of 15% from the original price) and informed this buyer, they got mad and they kept on sending me SMS and telling me something like: “sana mabenta niyo yan ng 300,000” or even going to the point of saying : “ander ka ata sa asawa mo”..or “wala kang paninindigan” which I think was already below the belt. I got mad but I just kept my cool and refrained and restrained myself from answering back. Up to this morning, the text message kept coming. My wife just advised me not to answer back. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Question: What will I do with this buyer? Can I report this to the police or will I just text back with a vengeance? One message even went to the point of threatening me with harm because of what I’ve done. I’ve kept all of his text messages in case I need it as evidence.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I did not expect that I would encounter such a lousy buyer. He claims to be a AFP officer but I’m not intimidated. In terms of these kinds of dealings, I think it’s as simple as: if you have the capability to pay, you buy it but if you don’t have that money, don’t get it and go look for a car which would suit your budget. I am not an unreasonable seller but I also need the additional cash for my next car purchase. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Why can’t people like him understand that? Just ranting and asking advise mga chiefs. Many thanks.[/SIZE]
