Somebody shows alot of interest in your car and you agree to do a part ex with them and you spend most of your day trading text messages with them using your credit and giving them your time to answer question after question and then they just ignore you when it comes to crunch time?

Not even a sorry to waste your time just totally blanked!!

as said a texter is usually a time waster, a genuine person will call or email if there is the option so that they can get all the info they need in ine go.

welcome to the world of traders and timewasters.

Txt always = timewaster when advertising a car.
