Good Idea or Bad?

There’s a truck that I occasionally see driving around about 20 mins away from me. I’ve been past the guy’s house several times (it is on a relatively popular road), and it just looks like it sits quite a lot. It looks relatively clean and unused but, obviously, its not advertised for sale. I was thinking about going with a friend to go to the house and ask whoever is there about it. Good idea, or am I just asking for trouble?

Sweet Scirocco for your time.

Do you want to get shot? Cause in the US of A that’s how you get shot

(granted, it doesn’t take a lot to be shot in the US)

I never thought any VW besides a Phaeton could be just pure pornography, but damn

good idea....... so long as you dont lowball the guy , and insult him. just ask if it is for sale, and what they want for it. proceed from there.......... if its not thank them and move on, tell them that if they change their mind to let you know. leave a number..... leave it at that.

I’d say it doesn’t hurt to ask him about it. Based on whether he responds like he’d want to sell or wouldn’t, either give him a reasonable offer or ask him what he’d want for it (so he can give you an “I don’t wanna sell it price”)

There’s a part of me that would be just a little suspicious of two guys coming to my door interested in something that’s not even marked for sale. I might even make sure it’s locked up tighter at night.

But there’s really no harm in asking. I think what I’d do is, leave a note in the mailbox, saying “if you’re ever looking to sell, give me a call at this number” or something like that. It’s non-confrontational, and relaxes any sense of hurry. It also saves you from having to walk up to the truck and leave a note under the wiper while someone watches you from the house.

This is the best idea.

Definitely. That’s all I’d want to do. Just talk to the guy for a minute and be on my merry way.

Good idea! Maybe I’ll give that a shot when I get the time.

oh yeah, forgot to say...... dont be creepy. walk up to the house first, and knock on the door. dont go eyeballing the truck without anyone there with you.

Just FYI it is illegal to put soemthing in a mailbox like that. Maybe slide it under the wiper of the vehicle. Just make sure it won’t fly away and become litter. Or you could actuall Mail the, a letter if your that patient.
