Re: [Chrysler300] What's happening to the gene pool?

["ripinator@xxxxxxxxxxx"<ripinator@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Speaking of clueless sellers, I'm talking to a kid who is trying to sell his  
deceased grandfather's Chrysler. He has no title or can't find it.  Car is  
in NJ and I'm in MD.  Any ideas how I can get a title for this car, if I  
decide to buy it ?

I think that's a very good point regarding the misrepresentation--it's  
often rampant.  In my experience, it ranges from relatively clueless   
sellers 
who actually think in their minds that their car is a prize, to those  who 
will say anything to get you there to look at the car, hoping you will buy   
it 
even though it may be junk.  The worst is when you are very clear about  
what you want or don't want, grill the seller to tell you the truth, and 
either  drive or fly a long distance at considerable expense only to  
discover the 
car  was not as described.
 
That said, apparently what happened to Mr. Olson was just the  reverse.  
After arranging to meet someone who was very interested in the  car, and  
going 
through a lot of trouble and expense to make that happen, it  appears the 
potential buyer just stood him up, and didn't even have the courtesy  to  
tell 
him that he couldn't (or didn't want to) make it to the meeting.   To me, 
that is just as unconscionable as misrepresenting the car.
 
To me, one of the saddest things about the collector car hobby is the  
occasional (or perhaps frequent?) lack of integrity among either sellers or   

buyers.  Fortunately, with respect to 300 collectors, there are often  
volunteers who will go look at a car that happens to be close to them, to   
provide 
an independent opinion before a prospective purchaser makes a long  trip.  I  

have personally benefited from that, and feel it is one of  the many great 
attributes of the Club.
