I will post this here for EVERYONES benefit.
When buying a car....NEVER assume you own a car because you have made ANY sort of agreement with the person selling it.
YOU NEED A BINDING AGREEMENT WITH A DEPOSIT IN WRITING...and even then some morons will still sell the car from under your feet expecting you not to sue them. Get a deposit down and get it in WRITING that the car is fully sold to you. I know more than a dozen people who have lost their deposits or cars that they 'purchased' because they were late picking them up or a better offer was given 'after' your deal.
I have had people offer me money for cars that have been sold and not picked up, and the amounts have been far over the asking price. I wont go down this path. If you get a car from me and leave a deposit, then that car is yours, even if you leave it here for a while, even if someone offers me more for it. This is not so with alot of other people, Never assume ANYTHING.
(sticky would be good on this and other opinions also)
