I went through this a couple years ago with a guy who bought my 1961 Pontiac 409. Leaving SW Ontario out to British Columbia. Was all rush rush. Wanted me to OVERNIGHT the ownership AND include shipping. That was a big F@CK NO. So he arranged shipping though another guy in our area. So I asked: "Do you want the ownership MAILED to you or left with the car"? He preferred mail. It took the 5 days for ownership to get there.

He was pissy I didn't overnight express it since the car is no longer in my possession? I offered to keep MY insurance from Haggerty on the car for $50.00 till it arrived. THEN shipper says the car will site in the trailer for at least 6 weeks since he didn't have a second car for the route yet and the guy was being cheap! He did have a second car in 6 weeks. I emailed him back and said I CAN'T jeopardize my standing with the insurance company because your being cheap and told him I have cancelled my insurance.

Hell I even help with his taxes! In Bc you only pay tax on the car. So I had 2 receipts, 20% was "the car" and 80% was "the engine & trans"....

What a nightmare. I will try to help in anyway I can, but some people are just TOO needy
