Re: Time to keep looking I think...
 

You are making a huge mistake by getting nasty about that chrome grill. That
thing is only worth a few bucks, tops. I wouldn't get too pissed about the
timing either. These things SELDOM go on the schedule you want when working
with private party sellers. If you went to the dealer to buy a brand new
Jeep, the sales cycle would run several hours, even if you simply got out of
your car and told the nearest salesman that you "wanted that white one over
there." and had your checkbook in hand.

The guy asked $3500. You offered $3200. The guy accepted, but he wants to
keep a worthless piece of chrome. Pull your check book out and start
writing. You should get the hardtop though, an dif the seller is holding
that back, then maybe you are right to step back on this deal.
