>From Brian: > Never sold a VW to someone that didn't have a passion for them. Every time I purchase a much-used (read "junker") VW and am offering less money than the seller was hoping for, I (very truthfully) tell the seller that in my possession this VW will be carefully tended to*, restored, and cherished for many, many more years. Even though the owner is not getting the sum of money he really was hoping for, he generally DOES feel good knowing that the car will get a new lease on life from someone who cares. Never seems to fail, and it seems I have been able to tilt some deals my way with this line (which, I repeat, is the truth). Helps assuage the seller's guilts. Ah, guilt. It's one of the three basic human emotions, which are: Greed, guilt, and greed! Phil dillard@suu.ed. * Of course, I never tell the seller that I intend to rip out that damned FI and put in carbs! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
